So there I am… surrounded by a room full of crazy Summer Camp kids.
Trying to keep them focused. Trying to keep them working. Trying to keep them from
tearing the place apart – slight exaggeration. When one of the other studio artists comes
downstairs and pulls me out of camp to tell me that there “has been an accident”
in my studio. What??? No one was even up there?!

So I excused myself from camp, left my assistant in charge, and went up to see what
happened. Apparently, someone closed the studio door a little too hard and this bank
of shelving fell off the wall. Literally pulling the screw anchors out of the wall…
and crashing down, spilling everything all over the place. Including my glass bead making
toolbox and all of the glass rods inside! And breaking some of the pieces that were drying
on my table. These shelves have been on that wall for YEARS!!! Why now? Why today?!

Maybe this is a good excuse, or should I say reason, for me to spend some quality time
in the studio cleaning, repairing, fixing it up and getting rid of all the garbage that I’ve
accumulated over the years… and still have really no good use for it all?!

So my plan is not to replace the shelving… since they can “jump off” whenever they want?!
You all know of my love for pegboard. So there will be more coming soon…
