Not so much a how do you put it on the shelf question, more a how do you access it for design purposes. Fabric in my stash is usually the starting point of inspiration, my stash is fairly moderate, so a complete design is unlikely to come from it entirely, but there is far too much for it all to be committed to memory and I don't always want to, or even find it particularly helpful to pull from the shelves. Plus, that restricts you to one location.
I think the time is right to figure out a recording system of what is there. But how to go about that? 2inch swatches in either a notebook or ring binder would be simple, but has two problems, it would lose too much info for larger size prints and if they are all stuck down that doesn't give you the flexibility to see how they look next to each other.
I'm thinking maybe scanning and reducing, then printing out larger prints whilst also cutting a swatch to get the true colour might solve one of those problems. But I'm not coming up with any good ideas for easy playing around without rapid destruction of the swatches!
Any ideas?
