Also, I've just got to look at all the arts catalogues. So, anal as I am, I must review and tab and label and copy and file. So out with the old, get the new into the bins. Its' amazing to rediscover what you have previously put aside and labeled. It was time to purge the supplies and eliminate the scraps.
Markers dry out with time, especially in the desert, so out they go.
The local kids are also inspired to participate in recycled art projects, and I sure hate to throw away perfectly good trash. However, my product inventory was all on 5 floppy diskettes that ran on an old PFS File database program that I had personalized many moons ago. My first mistake was in not converting the data and program to new media as it became available. But, old programs were copy restricted, and I was cheap. The new computer requires new media and I have ignored, denied, and even reverted to paper.
