New Beginnings

After a month  or so away from the vice I'm back at it  now that my tying station and room has been refurbbed and organized.
Its  new beginnings for me.
My collection of  materials etc had outgrown my old tying chest, which my good friend hand made for me and was previously sitting on my old desk with numerous boxes piled up either side of it. It was a bit of a clutter to be honest.
I'm delighted with my new set up but it will take a wee bit of time to get used to it as everything is now in organized boxes packed neatly into desk drawers and in the bottom of my bookshelf on the other side of the room so I dont have everything to hand so to speak. This could impact on my creative process as my fly patterns wont come natural to me.
I will now have to select specific materials to bring to my desk and be planned, deliberate and prepared.
One thing I'm very pleased about is that I now have my angling and flytying library organised and on display and can now easily get access to my books for reference.
With one half of the room dedicated to music and the other flytying I'm looking forward to many relaxing winter nights listening to music and tying.
To complete the room  Im going to get some angling related prints or framed fly patterns hung on the walls. I really do admire the art work of David Miller here and David Miller
With Christmas  coming up I should  perhaps highlight David's work to my family and hope they get me one of his magnificent prints for Christmas.
