neadodsMy motion on just about any project tends to be glacial - for instance, I meant to hang my framed art one evening last week. Over the last two evenings I've gotten as far as recharging the batteries on the drill, fitting the drill with a bit the size of the nails I'll use, taking everything down from the bookshelf where it's been, stacking the ready-to-hang art in the living room, and taking stock of the unframed art.
The good news:
Some 90% of what I want to hang is already framed. There are only 6 pieces that still need frames.
The bad news:
4 of those six require custom frames.
In several cases, art I once loved just doesn't float my boat anymore. Tish tells me to stick it in a closet for a few years to see if I change my mind. I figure having had it up on a bookshelf for 5 years counts as "closet time." And while I'm back in Beast fandom, I really don't need all those prints of Vincent. (And rather regret the one that I gave away years ago. Oh, well!) Not sure what to do with the unwanted stuff, as ebay doesn't bring in a lot of interest for old fan art. Haul it to M*W, I guess.
None of the pictures turns out to be the one(s) that I want to give a place of pride over the sofa. The only real contender for that space is Death and the Death of Rats, which I'm figuring would probably freak most people out. (D&tDoR and my two Disney cels are slated for the library, as they all reference literary works.) That leaves the fangirl stuff (Vincent & Wolf) for my bedroom and the fantasy art and portraits for the hall, which was always envisioned as a future art gallery. That's the plan, and the sofa will have to wait until I find *the* piece(s).
Current plan: To hang art and repaint bathroom cabinet by Sunday night.
