 Hey guys, we are here for a recap of how I've done for the month of January with using up or at least trying or purging Art supplies that are laying around my art room things that I bought never used things that I don't use very much Things I bought and don't like Okay, so in the last month I have Unfortunately, I don't think I've gotten any footage of it, but there have been a couple of boxes that are sort of this size sort of Medium flat rate priority male size. I'll try to put some dimensions in here for you Or large and one is a large flat rate. Anyway, I'll put some dimensions here for you I have donated at least two boxes to a local family shelter for the Local families that are homeless or having down on their luck. They have a soup kitchen for them They do art classes for them. They take donations for the families. So when I heard they do art classes, I went, oh, okay Do you take our supplies from people right? Yeah, I said, oh good So I have a third box to donate in my car. I've donated Two boxes they were both Me one was a medium flat rate one was a large flat rate and a paper grocery bag full of stuff already and Then I have Another large flat rate box in the back of the car and I've donated everything from markers and crayons I wasn't using to collage papers Some chalk pastels some oil pastels Some paints like a bunch of stuff. So what's not in here, which this is the stuff. I've used up Then it went and got donated. So yay In this box, I have a bunch of things I used up So there are a bunch of these spray ink bottles and some homemade ink bottles I'm gonna insert some footage here of me Using them up to dye some paper. So I used a bunch of these up I got some cookie sheets from the dollar store as you're seeing right now in the film footage And I used the spray inks I had in a little bit of water and I dyed a whole bunch of paper now the paper wasn't anything fancy it was drawing paper from the dollar store I used up two pads of paper And I used all of my spray inks up except for six bottles that I'm gonna keep I really am not a fan of spray ink It's not my favorite thing at all. And that's being super nice But I do use it occasionally. So I have six bottles. That's plenty. That's plenty. I don't need any more than that I had a whole bunch of it Including some that was gifted to me from when I was in on design teams and things Not that they don't have a bad product spray ink is just not my thing So anyway, I used up a bunch of Lindy's some homemade some tattered angels I don't know. I had a whole bunch of stuff. So I used it all up and Two pads of the drawing paper. So that was good Then I had a bunch of these jars of Paint that you guys saw from last month where I took a bunch of paint that was drying out and some medium I threw them into jars Mixed it all up to get sort of unique colors that I could use up these two jars are not empty They are almost empty, but to be honest, I can't get the lids off. I'm done. I'm done with it They can go away. I'm ready to have them just disappear I'm not gonna I can't I can't get the lid off. And so yeah Because I have had a few things this last month where I can't get the lid off these two that I'm just gonna throw away I did make sure I went out and bought some Vaseline or just generic petroleum jelly will work and When you're using a jar of something before you put the lid back on wipe off the rim wipe off the inside of the cap and coat everything with a good coat of petroleum jelly or Vaseline and Then put the lid on and that should prevent a lot of the sticking. I just can't yeah, I can't be bothered I had a bunch of glitter glue. This is mostly stickles brand and I never use glitter glue like I don't know. Yeah, so anyway I just squirted it out on some Teflon sheets and put it aside to dry and I made some Glitter glue embellishments. I can use these on journal pages paper clips, whatever So I so I use these up. These are done. Wait carefully I used up a paint pen What else is in here? I Used up a bottle of Murphy's oil soap, but I did have to replace that I don't remember if this is from this month or last month, but I had some Windsor Newton acrylic sample paints I used these up. I used up another roll of washi tape so yeah Windsor Newton sent at one time sent me some samples to try and I Used up the ones that were still good this blue one. I've had this so long the blue ones just dry and hard Like yeah, so anyway use that up Not a needle tip bottle with masking fluid in it. That's dried up. So that's got to go away Which is why I started doing this because you get products and like you don't use them and yeah So I think that's it this month not too many big things, but look at all this ink Oh, this is all ink. There's a few but you can see there's a few bottles of glitter glue But most of this is ink So that was my focus this month. So Yeah Onto the next right so That's what I used up this month I'm gonna keep going with this and as I am doing things projects like My faces a day for February. I am going through and Trying to do the faces Intentionally with products I don't use very much or haven't ever used or haven't used in a long time To use them up try them out or figure out if I don't like them. So they need to be purged So that's where my status is not at now And if you guys are doing this, I'd love to know where you where you are at with the project And if you're you know if you're trying to use things up or purge or reorganize your studio How's it going?
