progress report


ok - it's been a really really really exhausting time of it, trying to purge and re-do this studio.  i will never-not-ever bring a single 'nother thing into this room.  ever.  not even a piece of paper.  what a dredge out.  and the picture i'm about to show you won't do the job justice - the shelves on the right have been re-stocked with stuff-that-stays.  same goes with the top shelf in the middle, and the 3rd shelf down.  the rest is awaiting transport to the trash. 

the unit that the leetle wooden man is waving from will be moved to my jewelry bench area (hopefully) tomorrow, to replace the little-ish unit i have there now... i have to clear my bench first, though, and that could be the final straw that breaks my mental stability (such as it is anyway).  here's what it looks like now, and don't scream...(my easel is hanging out there while i shift things).  the white table with the printer on it is part of my desk, and will stay put, as it is attached to the wall.  (there's my crow)...
also on tap is removing everything from below this table & getting it down to the garbage,  then folding up the table, and painting the faux paneling a distressed aqua AND making it my little zen reading area...


that lightning bolt panel is part of a piece by Tommy Lincoln...i'll show you the rest later, but trust me - he's going to be big.  now, all that stuff under the table is going out, don't forget.  i must admit i am not looking forward to clearing my bench area - you saw the mess - but i think that will be the area with the most remarkable change.  we shall see.
and i must admit that i am really diggin this tossing stuff out...i'm done picking through everything, and just tossing it if i haven't used it or looked at it in more than 6 months.  except the Crayolas.  i do have an addiction to that smell.
ok - time to reward myself with a chocolate mint Skinny Cow flying saucer ice cream.  then back at it.
