Blog Carnival!

Yes, it's Blog Carnival time again! [At least, I think it is...I forget how many are participating this month since August is so busy for all of us. So, if you stop by someone's site and you don't see a post, they might not be scheduled to participate--they all have great blogs though that are still worth checking out.]

This month's post is a studio tour. So, I'll be short and sweet with this one. What I'll do is show you my old studio because you can see more of my stuff. Since I've moved into a smaller space, I've had to stash some of my tools and equipment a bit more strategically--you can't see either my polishing station, my tumblers or my anvil.

So, check out my old studio in the larger space here.

This is it now (and yes, I gave up the Aeron). Believe it or not, I have even more tools--not quite sure how that happened, hehe... Touch my Fretz hammer collection and you WILL draw back nubs! Marissa, I know you have my back on that one! ;-)

And a different view.

  

And one more.

Oh, and the books...

Note: I feel the same way about my books as I do my hammers. ;-)

And more books...

And, more books (and this still isn't all)...

My faves that are always in my "extended" studio space (anywhere the studio is not)... Well, sure--Carl Sagan is the oddball out in this bunch.

And, of course, please do visit the other Blog Carnival participants to check out their workspaces. I haven't checked Kirsten's blog yet (she's the lone-yet-fabulous blacksmith in the bunch), but I'm sure she has a to-die-for collection of stuff!
