If you’re a crafter, you know how quickly things start to pile up. Yes, I do need that many different types of scissors and that many colors of ribbon! If you have a designated craft area either large—lucky!—or small, it’s nice to (at least try to) keep it organized, especially if it’s in a part of your home that’s not off-limits to guests.

Sarah Dungan is a professional lettering artist, who founded the Arrow Art Studio in 2013. Based in California, Dungan’s work is not the traditional fine art we usually feature on the blog, but using professional marker pens and watercolours, she demonstrates admirable artistry, infusing the craft of lettering with a dedication and practice that can inspire all. In this interview we learn that Sarah’s approach to her work has many overlaps with approaches to painting and drawing within fine art practice. Lisa: Please can you tell us about the Arrow Art Studio, how long it’s been running, and why you set up shop in the first place? Sarah: Arrow Art Studio is a boutique lettering firm specializing in hand made signage and calligraphy for weddings and special events. Having worked in the restaurant industry for decades, it was behind the bar that I discovered my love for lettering. When chalking the specials board became more fulfilling than mixing drinks, I knew I’d found my calling. I was hired as a sign maker at Whole Foods Market and although I didn’t feel the corporate environment was a good fit, it did make me realize that I needed to spend ...

This weekend I celebrated my birthday with lots of fun activities. Part of the weekend included crafting with my sisters and making these adorable paper dolls inspired by Claudine Hellmuth. We met at a wonderful art store in Marin called Once Around, and they allowed us to use their classroom to make these dolls as a private class. My sister, Diana, helped coordinate the event - she made the samples for us and provided many of the supplies - thank you Dee! If you're ever in Mill Valley, make sure to check out this store called Once Around - it's very cool! Prior to the crafting event we had a wonderful lunch at Blue Barn at Corta Madera, one of my favorite spots for lunch... Picture of me & my sisters and my niece Natalie On Friday, I took the day off and spent some time in Petaluma antique shopping and also taking a class from Eileen Hull at Cathe Holden's amazing barn. Below are a few shots from her barn. Cathe Holden and I My sister Maryl and teacher Eileen Hull What great inspiration for redoing my craft room someday! Cathe you've collected some amazing pieces and your barn is a dream...love it all! Here's a picture of the project I made in the class. We used a Sizzix die to cut out the cover and pages. Thank you Eileen for a fun and inspiring class! Another nice bday surprise was being published in the Oct/Nov/Dec issue of Somerset Life.

Lately it's been tough to find time to paint and one thing I've always struggled with is working within a cluttered area (though I seem to have NO problem creating the clutter...) and it's kind of a problem when you're avoiding a space because of a mess. So it was time to finally do something about the mess and I started by taking measurements and doing online research (it's amazing what you can find on this computer thingy). After considering the options, I decided to go with wire shelving versus building a traditional wooden unit. For ideas, here are some images I came across online: http://www.art-boards.com/ - awesome but expensive this would be perfect if I had a gigantic studio... Alas, I was most inspired by the idea below and decided to run with it: In the photo above, the painter works on a smaller scale than I do so he can get away with using just one 24" deep x 36" wide rack with 4 shelves. He cleverly used peg board on each shelf and perfectly lined up dowels to create individual slots, especially helpful for oil painters who need to let their paint dry (I also saw other similar versions where the artists used wire or rope affixed from shelf to shelf ). Anyway he also added wheels to make it mobile - great idea! For my storage solution, I needed a space for larger work (approx 24"x30") and decided that the perfect spot would be a 36" wide x 48" deep unused nook in the corner of the room. I purchased ONE 5-shelf unit and ordered 4 legs separately from another store for a total cost of $90 and in less than an hour (!!), I put together 2 shelf units back to back and had the entire space organized. I'm thrilled that I was able to turn the room around so quickly, maximize the storage space AND house all of the paintings in one tidy area. Ahhhhh... now I can finally see what I have and paint in a clutter-free space!! Ya, I know... it's weird where some people find happiness... Below is the newly organized area!! OMG, you can see the floor!! Is that a clean table top I see? Not for long.... ;)
