weekend check-in

[rmc28]

Welcome to a weekend check-in. I have some tedious paperwork to complete, and I said jokingly to my sibling on the phone "I will probably end up tidying half the house rather than do this paperwork". Only it turns out I need a specific document, and I have lost it ~somewhere~ in this house, and that's not actually a joke any more.

I'll ramble a little in the comments like I usually do, but please check in with your challenges and successes and surprises, and let's cheer each other on a bit.

Yeah, I hate building anything, too, and am not in the sweats immediately upon moving camp but verrrry close to it. Much sympathy on that front! Did you get a cool enough time during this weekend to try starting on the bookshelf?

Had to google what re-bagging animation cels even is but wow, so awesome that you make animation art! How did it go this weekend?

I sadly haven't gotten anything done this weekend and I feel bad about it. But I also acknowledge that it's been a stressful few weeks (manager and one of my closest co-workers are both having their last day this week). Going to give it a go again next weekend.

The animation cels aren't actually ones I've done -- but rather, some that I own from a bunch of anime series from the 90s. Here is my really outdated gallery. I have to sporadically change out the bags and slip in some fresh microchmaber paper as part of caring for them. I recently bought another folio for keeping them organized, but haven't done anything with it. What I might wind up doing is just doing 2-3/cels a day and scanning them at the same time. Might be the only way I get it done at this rate!

Wow, what sounds like such a stressful period at your job. Lots of changes. It makes a lot of sense that you didn't have much energy for projects this past weekend. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to find time for a little cel bagging and scanning next weekend. :-)

Wow, that is also very cool that you own anime cels from the 90ies. Now I understand even more the need to re-bag those. Thanks for linking to your gallery, such pretty images! I think I've heard of Utena as some kind of classic, very impressive that you got some from that anime.

2-3/cels per day to re-bag and scan them in sounds like a good, sustainable plan. Maybe even only re-bag if time or energy are short. I would love to hear some updates from you on how that project is going in the future. :-)

Definitely will! Might even share some scans, too. :)

Oh yay! Scans would be awesome! :D But only if the process of putting scans up on DW doesn't hinder your progress on the overall rebagging project ;-)
