A Gelli Printing Mixed Media Artist's Studio Tour!

[@bdwalters4585]

I am redoing my studio and seeking inspiration. I love that your space is not entirely engulfed in plastic drawers and tubs. The display elements make your space a work of art...very inspirational.

[@lynnboyd33]

Oh gosh Robin, what an amazing studio/office. Just love it! I mean even your drawers are laid out so orderly and like pieces of art displays themselves! Thank you for this share.

[@brenkyable]

On wow. What a beautiful inspiring space. My mother kept her art materials in that exact wicker suitcase. She called it her studio and when she opened it up it seemed to expand out magically. Or perhaps that was my imagination. Art is magic after all. She would have loved your work. A lovely .memory evoked for me. 💚I💚 Your studio is a fitting environment for the amazing artwork that you do. Thanks for the glimpse.

[@RobynMcClendon]

What a lovely story as I was reading your comment I was able to form pictures of what it must have been, a bit like a magic carpet bag...thx for sharing :)!

[@rosalynmcwatters8510]

The wicker suitcase baskets are everything! Um, the art retreat in France? Now you're killing' me, Missy!!XO

[@patriciaatkinson2435]

Wow! Watching your studio tour was like taking a double shot of coffee. Very inspiring. Thank you.

[@rhonda5780]

I also have baskets. I love them because they have pockets in the lids. Some of them have leather buckle straps. It is also fun to make cases out of old large book covers. All that's needed is to enclose the sides and the front cover works as the lid. They can be decorated with mixed media and make very unusual storage solutions. I love your art and your studio!

[@erinsalmon5521]

I’ve never thought of using leather wallets to create book structures. Brilliant use and so easy to find at thrift stores!

[@janwar45]

Wow! I searched for studio tours and snored through a bunch before you knocked my socks off! Now I have to see your others! You made a fan.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thanks Janice, I aim to please..and welcome to our creative space! :)

Love your studio, Robyn! It's easy to see a creative genius works there! Love your use of the baskets, such a great way to keep chaos under control! :-) It is a beautiful space filled with your personality! Thanks for inviting us in!

[@RobynMcClendon]

You're so very welcome and thanks for being here with me :)

[@dianejarvis270]

It was lovely to see your studio, Robyn. Thank you. I never tire of seeing people's art studios and craft rooms.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Diane I'm the same way so I figured I'd share my own :) Thanks!

[@susanmyrick3929]

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!! I have studio envy.

[@barbclark69]

Those wicker suitcases bring back a memory for me. Trying to remember when I had one. I believe it held my very first collection of cassette tapes! Love the Ikea sets of big wide drawers. Wish I had a place for even one of those. And that Chinese brush! You could almost cuddle with that at night. Amazing to tour your creative fodder, Robyn. So inspiring.

[@MJWINNER_Sketchbook999]

Wow congratulations. Looks tidy. You have your creative place- well Done.

[@carolemaguire644]

Your studio is a work of art in and of itself ! I am green with envy....I'm thinking of tossing one of my kids out so I can have his room :) (don't worry, He's 19)

[@RobynMcClendon]

Hahahaha...As one mother to another I "do" understand...lol Take over that extra space my friend! Like maybe the dinning area?... until he leaves:) Thanks for hanging out with me!

[@carlamarlene2927]

I was floored at the end! I am so glad I am not the only that keeps produce netting!!! love your studio, continue to have blessed creations

[@RobynMcClendon]

We are definitely kindred spirits on this channel, Thanks so much for being a part of this journey!

[@robinhere4230]

Thanks for sharing your studio!! Love the filming and the music!!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thanks Robin :)

[@ibkristykat]

Gelli-Junk-A-Dori?! I'm going to have to look into that. Love your Japanese artistic touches for inspiration - just awesome..

[@RobynMcClendon]

Yes it's a term of endearment that I began to name these journals that I was making...and it caught on...Thanks!

[@artfulyama9071]

Great video, lots of super ideas!

[@LovelyMalia]

Love your studio! The wicker suitcases are awesome...I snag vintage hard suitcases whenever I can...I love the look of suitcases! You've convinced me to look into the Alex set from Ikea... Love those drawers!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Yes I have a few hardcases myself :) Yes for the money they are the best solution I've found. :)

[@rosesoto8969]

What a treasure trove! Love the baskets and oh my that drawer full of amate.....TFS!

[@karenkijinski6271]

beautiful studio, now i need to get into gear and clean my studio. Love your handmade papers, just beautiful. So glad i found your channel.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thx Karen and Welcome :)!

[@QueenpreneurRachel]

Thanks so much for sharing Robyn. I’m in the process of relocating my studio out of my house into a leased space and you are giving me loads of ideas. Especially with those ALEX drawers and picnic baskets.

[@soniacook4884]

Beautiful and very inspiring! Thank you 😊

[@Vickilou92]

LIVE IT! Your studio really expresses your personality.

[@Vickilou92]

Love^

[@essiemae4593]

Love it!! ❤️ Our organized “mess” and we know where everything is!!!!

[@joanbell9342]

Thank you Robin, enjoyed the tour!❤️

[@elizabethkjewelryandart]

Thanks for the tour! What an inspiration! I have a dedicated sewing room that I don't like to do messy art projects in, so I've started taking over the corner of the living room for painting, printing, and paper. I think you've given me a few ideas I can use in my little space.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thanks Elizabeth! My studio has gone through many iterations for some of the same reasons you've shared...lol It can take some time to figure what works best for our art rooms. I love looking at other artists spaces, I get some of my ideas that way, plus I think I'm a little nosey like that :) So I was hoping that I'd inspire many of my fellow artists here in similar ways...Thanks!

[@sue8237]

I think I might just cry - I want your studio!!! Amazing! Thanks so much for the tour :)

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thanks Sue...your so sweet, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@Saffirance]

Love your art room!! Thank you for the tour. My art room is almost that organized. I have a few of those wicker picnic baskets. I can think I will borrow your idea to use them your way. Very nice. You have quite the inspiration station. Well done.

[@janemilitello7833]

Amazing! So well organized. Blessings

[@angelrose4968]

Love your studio!!

[@RobynMcClendon]

[@karensmith1367]

[@leighhornak3383]

[@mindy7819]

So inspiring Robyn! You have so many projects going at once, maybe sometime you can talk about how you manage your work flow and stay on track. How do you manage to be so productive?? Thanks again- this video makes me wish I could spend all day in my studio💖

[@zhinekelsang3768]

Eeeee! Thank you for sharing, Robyn.I love the Buddhas you've got :)

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thanks Zhine...Yes! I love my Buddhas and Quan Yin's :)

[@flowerlily1]

Hey Robyn, Thanks for the fun tour of your space. I know you posted this video a while back but I have a question concerning your printer. Do you print on card-stock, watercolor paper, think paper if yes, does it work well with them? Thanks!

[@gayneels5169]

Hi Robyn, what a fab tour that was, seriously pinching you picnic basket idea, lol. Can you please give me the exact description of your printer , I’m in line for a new one. Thanks a million! ps - I’m still very sad that I was unable to take on the French tour, have a wonderful time!

[@RobynMcClendon]

Hi Gay, there will be other tours I trust that right timing will occur :) Yes on the picnic baskets! they're the best :) It's a HP Envy 5660 here's a link so that you can take a look at it, make sure you get the HP Instant Ink not Amazon's Dash Replenshment...Thx

[@gayneels5169]

Thanks for that info Robyn!

[@dagmarvalentova3126]

I wish to have opportunity to spent some hours in your studio and see and touch by fingers all those papers, Midori inserts, gelli prints ....

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thanks Dagmar :)

[@christineandersen1220]

Hi there, in an earlier comment on a different video I mentioned I wasn’t into art journaling. After seeing your studio and all the wonderful ephemera and papers and all that maybe I should make art journaling my jam! The tour was very inspiring! I know this video is a year old but you mentioned purge packets. What are those? Thx Christine Andersen

[@consideredwhisper]

Yep, it looks just like my living space...

[@tracynadel7906]

Fun things!

[@cvharried3572]

I wish I was organized. My little studio is a hotmess.

[@ritabower3644]

Do you have a sink in your studio? I am wondering where you clean off your stencils and your brayers and brushes?

[@Able2Rejoyce]

Kewlio, awesome and likey.

[@RobynMcClendon]

Thanks so much :)

[@cyntsblessings]

Nice ♥️‼️

[@karlasolomon8128]

I have space but I don’t love it. Feel overwhelmed by trying to make it functional and soul-supportive .

[@RobynMcClendon]

Hi Karla, one suggestion is just take a corner of your space maybe just get a bookcase like the one I have I got that black one at Ikea it was $20 and fill that with all the things you love! Shop your home :) and then mix some of you art supplies in. That will give you a focal point to draw inspiration from and feed your soul! Thanks for you sharing!
