I'm a very disorganized person by nature, but I'm trying to get better with my art supplies. xd How do you keep your sculpey bricks organized? Are there any containers that are good for keeping it in? Are there containers specifically for keeping sculpey? Or do you just use tupperware bins or the like.

Right now I just have it all tossed in two plastic shopping bags sweatdrop but I was thinking of getting some plastic bins to store them. Unless there's a better option.

Today is "clean up the art supply corner" day. sweatdrop

Mines in a fishing box. It used to be good for separating the colors and such, but that was like 6 years ago now that I'm older it's all cluttered and gross looking. I'd post a picture but I don't want to scar you. I am hoping to find a new situation and get back into sculpting more often.

Me? Organize?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-gasp- AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!

Granted, I've only got the one color of Sculpey. It's all the other art supplies I have that clutter things up. I've managed to kind of relegate the mess into a couple of different big plastic drawers.

      i have two four drawer crystal cabinets (like. the things used in watch repair to store crystals) for my opened clay.
      they're metal, so there's no need to worry about shielding plastic from the clay.
      &they're assorted by colors (red/pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, neutral), with my tools in the last drawer.

      then my unopened clay (which is about 70-80 blocks, btw) is in a reallyreally big box that i keep under my desk.
      that's also assorted by color.

That's a really awesome idea, I may have to try that. Half the reason I'm so disorganized is because I have very little room to work with. Usually within the mess, everything is colour coordinated and organized by material.

Thanks everybody for your input! biggrin

@.@;;; I'm so disorganized. Right now all my art stuff is thrown in various boxes and storage containers.. but I don't always know what I have either. xD

I should probably get on that... >.>

All my Sculpy is thrown into a big popcorn bucket... Bad i know. -_-"
But i was thinking the same thing yesterday, maybe going out and finding containers.
I need to replace most of my Sculpy because I'm getting low on it.... I think its the perfect time. ;D

I shove mine all in an old lunch box. Wrapped, unwrapped, whatever... And if the clay sticks to each other, then I get a fun new color! mrgreen

I don't have any! ;0

If I did, though, it would probably be a long row of zip-lock bags on a shallow cardboard tray, or something. I like having things visible, for the most part. That way I don't forget I have them. >> <<

I keep the plastic boxes they come in!
One has the solid blocks still, some unopened.
Another is just large amounts of mixed stuff I did.
The last one I have is scrap pieces of leftover clay.

Then it's all dumped in a drawer with all of my supplies.
