How to use a corner space

[ntl]

There is a Jacuzzi corner tub 60' x60" in my soon to be bathroom.
there's also 2 sinks. I plan to use one sink area (if I can) for water media.
The tub will probably not be used for it's intended purpose. It will not be removed.
Any ideas on how I can re-purpose it for art to get some good use for that space?

I suppose you could put a board over the top of it and use it as a table but have you seen the price of a sheet of plywood lately?

Thanks, Sno. I have seen the price of plywood--and 2x6's.
I should also say the faucet is on the entry side, so it needs avoided. I don't know how tall the faucet is, or what the tub is made of.
Probably not enameled iron

I should also say it's a triangle.

I like what sno has suggested. You can also use it to soak paper sometimes.

Maybe you could put rubber feet on an easel and stand it up inside the tub. Put a few boards across the odd spaces as a table to hold stuff. Making art isn't easy or sensible.

Hi, Zen, thanks. I'd thought of that, haven't done anything yet--several months later. Been busy with getting my studio
into useable shape. I have an easel that would work I think, it needs a couple of rubber feet. Right now that tub is holding a basket of yarn and nothing else.

Holding a basket of yarn is as good a use as any (I think)! You can stock up on even more yarn since you have a whole tub.

I've been working on a wool afghan (maybe it'll be a lapghan instead). I found I had 9 motifs a bit smaller than the others, and have 8 corrected. Now I really want to get to a yarn shop to replace two of the colors I am no longer using. I don't drive much now, so have to wait for someone to take me. In the meantime, I have one acrylic lapghan started, one planned, and some of the yarn for--that's what's in the tub, so I will not run out of things to do. Trying to find time to paint, too...

I would drive you if you lived near me. I don't drive much either, but it would be nice to have an art friend to do arty stuff with!

Thanks! IIRC, you're in Joshua Tree. I'd rather be there now, than Indianapolis, where today it's gray and rainy. The temp is supposed to be 80', but I can't see it: 80 to me is sunny and warm, as I lived in Tucson until recently...

I really love Arizona as well, and have only been to Indianapolis once. I can say I don't remember much of it because I was just passing through.

My DD is planning to take me to a yarn shop next week. I want to get blues and greens for this wool afghan.

I only have a small basket of yarn. I'd love a place to keep more.
