I’m almost ready to start playing with my gelli plate. I think I have everything I will need to play with it. Unfortunately, the thing that stands between me and the producing images, is room to work. I need to seriously clean my work space so that I can either hang the prints once I make them, or find a spot to lay them once I make them. Herein lies my dilemma. I need to devote a serious amount of time into arranging, cleaning, moving, you name it, the things in my space. I just don’t seem to have a system that will currently work for me. I’m not sure why I can’t stay organized, I just can’t. I clean the room and am really proud of myself, and within a week, it’s back to bedlam. I even sent a photo of it to a friend and she thought it looked like a hurricane came through. It is pretty close to the look of a hurricane. I’m trying to use every available space, but somewhere in the mix, I’m not doing something right, because I just can’t keep it clean. Maybe clean isn’t the word, maybe the word is organized. I feel like I am buried. And frustrated. In the time it’s taken me to type this, I could have cleaned something. Motivation is also a problem. I really lack motivation because the task seem daunting. I’m going to make a plan and stick to it. First part of the plan, quit buying anything crafty. Second part of the plan. Give away a lot of my accumulated projects. Third part of the plan, make more projects and videotape them. Fourth part of the plan, give those things away as well. I love it when a plan comes together.
