Miranda

Finished her~ AND added a bit of one of those wooly-cuffs to her coat... used two of my favorite bits of fabric I've collected over the years~ as well as some of the new faux fur that I just can't get enough of... Her photos don't do her justice - though I say it myself... Oh~ also first time sculpting a tongue - and painting two different colored eyes... I may have gone a little overboard on the whimsy with her~ but I think I'm allowed ;D

Of imps and sunshine and written things

I had wanted to set up an elaborate set up for my Etsy photos... but I think I like the sunshine more than I could ever care for a stark fully lit corner... that - and we simply don't have the space for setting up something properly... but I think I did justice to my work with these little images.

My sense of time is a wee bit off as I've been busy finishing up the first draft of my story!!!!!!!! <--- really. I'm allowed.

I've been working on this one in my head for ages... I know people say that sort of stuff. And I know now how they feel... I've hundreds and hundreds of pages of failed attempts to take on the story... I feel like it's one of my first attempts to paint in colors with oils... true monsters of paint and over worked failures.... I just get carried away and fail to make something worth looking at or, in this case, reading. I guess what I'm saying is - I had to learn how to edit. And I AM GOING TO FINISH~ Oh. So happy! It's nothing amazing - I assure you... the story itself... but the finishing. The having all these ideas and characters and places and things fall in words onto the paper - start to finish.... I am giddy... and often find myself writing when I meant to be doing something else.... like, updating my blog. <___< or my Etsy... on to which I just added a few new things - including this imp: E'oh.

Back to work I go!

Etsy!

OOOooooooh yes! I'm back up - the ink was finally dry ;) Darn my love of my name chop.

Imp attack!

I fear I've not much to say at the moment... I'm tired, covered in fur, glue and spray paint... but oh so happy.

I've plans for another monster/creature - sort of eastern dragon like... of course, in my slightly cute/creepy style... 'cause I can't help myself.

Oh! And another plan/goal to add to my already (often unfinished) list of 'things to do in the day' I am adding a weekly plan to finish one truly finished/large portfolio image. 'cause... well, artists need those - right?

Right.

See you soon!

Oh! and I have a good sized lot of button/magnets finished as well... I'll get you some images of those next time.
