Organizing Fabric Eye-Candy

I pulled fabric from bags by the sofa, parts of the guestroom, the closet, and many smaller boxes.  And then I did this.  The top box is cottons.  The bottom box is fancies, mostly in crazy quilt size pieces.  I have another box with larger pieces of fancies and canvas type fabrics.  And of course the coordinating hand-dyed bits are elsewhere.  But these are two palettes that I can draw from while I'm creating, all nicely set up.  The primary organization is by color, but there are a couple subsets for things like batiks and kimono fabrics.

I organized my beads by color too, but that doesn't look nearly so cool because they are in plastic bags inside other plastic bags.  I'm also mostly done with my fibers.  I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to handle the paper though.  Basically I'm still trying to get everything put away into my new closet so that I can reach for it and find it.  Having easy access to my supplies, instead of having to hunt for them, will make it much easier to keep making art when my time constricts later this summer.
