WHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Runs around in a circle frantically.....I love COFFEEEEE!!!!!!*



*caffiene equals jet fuel for my internal systems....I am particularly sensitive to that sort of thing. I cant even eat coffee flavored icecream before bed or it keeps me up*

Got a wild urge to sculpt last night....I blame it on Lyosha, lol. Her owl drawings are incredible, and always have so much personality. I made a passing mention of my temptation to sculpt them.....and I'm pleased to say there'll be an owlet project....I'll be sculpting some owlets inspired by her drawings. We're also wanting to have little cards to come with each of them. In the end it'll be a project of such epic cuteness as to cause cavities!!!!! Mwhahahahahaha.....

Also working on the Clockwork Mouse..who's coming along bit by bit, slow and steady. I'm wanting to do the molds for him and the clockwork snail at the same time. So he'll be a main focus for the next week, maybe a bit more, depending on how things go.

Anyway, pictures!
Lyosha's hatchling drawing and the rough form of the first sculpt.

(omg, posting these side by side I seeee mistakes *grabs sculpting tools with mad fervor* it's funny how you'll see that stuff in a photo, but not in person so much)

</a>

Clockwork Mouse! (still has a ways to go)

Yeeeaaawwwn........warm fuzzy lazy feeling of not doing terribly much is nice.

Played WoW.....sculpted a little.....took a walk, watched a few movies...feasted on pizza, then last night made peach chipotle taco salad...mmmmmmmm..... Read most of a book, gave the girls a bath..and will probably practice my slug imitation some more this evening.

Chris and my ten year wedding anniversary is coming up on the 30th..and I need to make a few plans for a cake. I wish I could afford some of the gumpaste roses I saw on a edible flower site....but not this time around...as they cost a bit more than I have at the moment. We may have a late cake, when I can afford for the flowers I want on it.

Ten years....and to think people were tellin us left and right not to get married. I'm so glad we did. Sometimes it's hard to believe that ten whole years have gone by.


yeaaawwwn...stretch...mmmmmmmmm...where'd the cookies go?

Arts on the blog,

PapaJohns now has an online feature, that gives you points according to how much you've spent there in the past year. This is an enlightening, and frightening feature. Who knew we spent so much on pizza and hotwings? (nope....I'm not givin the amount of how much we've spent, lets just say it was disturbing)

Despite this.....I'm still oddly craving hotwings.....

Couple of new things.

I have a huge photo dump of sketches.

Put the last clearcoat layers on the batch of stuff I've been painting the last few days.

Whew...I'll be happy when they're boxed up and stored on the stock shelves. They still need the stamps and little felt footies put on them, but I'm thrilled the paintwork is over. I'm tediously trying to work my way through my casting shelf. I've had a TON of castings sitting around waiting for cleaning and paint. There's no such thing really as pouring just what you need... there's always just a little plaster left over, which I use to fill one of the smaller molds, if there's enough. Sooo....i've got overstock on several of the smaller pieces, castings that I really should put paintjobs on. Not to mention a few extras of larger ones too. They'd begun to pile up a bit.

Had a tasty dinner last night, even if it is just fancy ramen. I even think it's sorta pretty! nom nom nom
