It must be spring cleaning or something. I've decided to organize my studio, starting with the piles of prints I have all over the place. I swear I've got about two feet of prints all tolled.
I went thru every piece and made an inventory of each unique print. Are you ready for this? I have 106 separate woodcuts, etchings and monoprints! That doesn't count multiples and variations either. Wow.
Now I'm putting them in a gimungous plastic tub (I wish it weren't plastic, but it's the only thing I could find that would hold 11"x15" prints, of which I have a number). I only have one print larger and I can solve that easily by framing it and hanging it on the wall. ;- j I don't want to put the lid on tho. Maybe I'll drape a cloth over the top.
I'm still filing but I'll be done soon. Then I'll have to do some actual art. ;- ]

Wow, you have a lot of prints!
I used plastic tubs, sort of reluctantly, too, but recently my studio/laundry room flooded when I was out of town and I was SOOO grateful for the plastic because I didn't lose anything.
Why no lid? Is it bad to close up the prints?
I have had to do this as well. BTW, I found a company, http://www.archivalmethods.com/ that sells at a decent price and they have storage boxes that I have used for years.
Amanda: I think so. I don't know it for a fact, but I've heard prints need air.
Daniel: Thanx, I'll check them out.
