Trying To Get Some Creativity Going Again - Ulog 008

# Artistic Attic Chaos &#127912;
***
Now that summer appears to be coming to an end my thoughts turn to being a bit more creative again since I should now be able to work in the attic, where all my art stuff is.

In summer it is simply not possible because of the heat.

However, before I start, I need to have a good clear up and clean.

These photographs show the state of the attic in February and, although, it is hopefully not that messy it will be really dirty.

A lot of dust and grit finds it way through the roof tiles and leaves a grey coating everywhere.

As you can see it's a right tip. I'm hoping that, by posting these photos, I might actually get around to sorting it out and having a bit of a clean.
***
![Attic Before Left Side.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUzUpSNrpxpdUJLYGu8jfhyWXR9J9vSbLnfubjk3XkcG6/Attic%20Before%20Left%20Side.jpg)
***
This is the area where I make messy art.

Behind me and out of the piture is where I work with my laptop at a desk.

I have a sort of winter partition, as it gets freezing up here, and also roasting in summer. It's very high tech - made from bubble wrap and a thick curtain.  &#128513;
***
![Clean Table Before.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb6ZJ7Ls74t97BG41zE9YVBfSJoL1avTnKCGueGWMDC26/Clean%20Table%20Before.jpg)
***
This pic and the next one are from the other side of the partition which I don't use at all in winter.

It's mainly for storage but also has my table for "clean" work. But as you can see my clean table is buried under a load of detritus.
***
![Before Top Right Corner.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaoCdCGHCFzX2ZRa5hPXgPtpidWvwtAwv7tg6G1LeuPCQ/Before%20Top%20Right%20Corner.jpg)
***
And here's one of the right hand corner where I keep my vintage books and other paper ephemera.

The table buried beneath a load of crap is one I use when I want to stand up to do something.

&#128153; &#128155; &#128156; &#128154;

Even when it's a mess I absolutely **love** this space and it would be brill to get it into some order.

I haven't done any arty stuff for some long time now and it's hard to get going again.

The best way to start, I've found in the past, is just to get myself into the attic each day and take it from there.

At some point I will feel like sorting it out and/or cleaning it and then from there I might start to pick up some paint brushes.

So that is my plan for today.

However, I have a lot of admin stuff I need to get done first so it's ot guaranteed! &#128514;

Thank you @creativecrypto. it's turned warm again so it's too hot for me to paint in the attic but soon it will be autumn and that will no longer be the case. i need to find some inspiration before then though.&#128522;

Thanks @nolasco. I didn't make it the attic in the end today. I didn't get the admin done I needed to so will be at it again tomorrow.

I've lost a bank card and then got locked out of another account. &#128546;

Hopefully I'll have more luck tomorrow. &#128513;

Wow that surely looks like an artistic attic! I love it.... including the chaos. But I suppose it’s easier to find things when it’s all tidied up.

Yep. Easier to find things @twocatsncounting plus I need the space to work in.

Cleaning's important or else I'll end up with grit in the paint. Sometimes that's not a problem though. I'm very keen on a bit of texture. &#128514;
