Messy Studio Part 2

Got everything pretty much put back where it belongs. The problem is that where it belongs is not anywhere in particular. So, some overarching organizational structure is in order. Okay, I can do that. However (as though I needed another roadblock to avoid doing this), I can't really see what's needed by way of organization until I sort through what I have. Enter Phase 2 - my least favorite part I might add.

Phase 2 is where I weed through all the sh*% in my studio. Of course, as a mixed media artist, everything everywhere is considered potential material for the next project (which of course is how it got so messy in the first place). In the next week or so I intend to sort through old canvases, old projects, materials and decide what gets kept and what gets tossed. Hopefully this will prime me for Phase 3, which is organizing what's left.

I suspect this will lead to art supply give aways. Potentially old art give aways as well if I can't bear to paint over something, but won't ever realistically look at it again. Please let me know by way of comment if you are interested in being informed of discards and what you are looking for. Be forewarned, I've collected lots of junk over the years.
