the day being... move in day/days!
i am excited and yet the idea of setting everything back up is daunting.
it's been a LONG time since we moved.
we've i've collected so much crap!
it's hard as an artist...
everything, i mean EVERYTHING can be turned into a piece of art! right?!
please tell me that i'm not alone on this.
...and that is why i have more stuff in my studio than we have in our entire house!
well, off to bed.
a long day awaits me.
Lets just put it this way " you are not alone!" lol At least the move gives you the opportunity to purge. I have binders of cards I've save for the last 37 years!!! I'd love to toss them, because they are in my room since my sil recovered the trunk/ottoman they were in. Still can't do it. All the vintage artwork on the outsides...darn it! I'm afraid as soon as I toss them I'll need them...so yes many artists keep too much.. I am trying to be honest with myself. Asking " do I really need this?" and telling myself the truth. It's difficult... Good luck with that!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Hugs Giggles

Congrats on the move! Finally! I´m so glad for you. It must feel good to finally be able to get things in their new place, almost like starting a new life, in a way. And as for hanging on to stuff that CAN be used for something someday... well, you´ve seen my house, so I guess I don´t have to say any more.... ;-)

I'm very happy for you... and *NO* you are not alone about all the "supplies". Look on the bright side, how wonderfully optimistic are we to see the potential in so much junk? :)

Yes, moving a studio would be very daunting, but also very exciting! A new fresh space!! Great windows!

LOL..you are definitely NOT alone! The last time we moved the packers argued over who would pack my studio...and it wasn't because they all wanted to pack it!! LOL..it took them as long to pack the studio as the rest of house! Looking forward to seeing everything once you've unpacked...oh yeah..and those stairs!

The great thing about collecting all the supplies is being able to have art creation parties & offer the bits & pieces to my friends. It's so fun to see everyone's creativity & how they use the freebies!
