Preparing my studio space to begin a new series. Preparing mentally and emotionally what direction I want to go. Preparation involves cleaning and organizing to make physical space. It also means taking an inventory of the boards I have on hand, determining what I need to order. It means writing, lots of writing. Jotting down ideas, looking back at notes in my journal. It means figuring out what resonates with me. I usually begin with the title, and that informs where I go. Of course, where I go brings surprises and unexpected discoveries, but it is my road map of where to begin. No GPS in this process. My show is in July, so I have six months before I give birth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6149.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1030 aligncenter\" alt=\"???????????????????????????????\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6149-300x237.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6150.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1031 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_6150\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6150-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6154.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1032 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_6154\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6154-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6160.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1029 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_6160\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6160-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6157.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1028 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_6157\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/IMG_6157-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>P.S.
