Another thought






With my deadline looming, my Muse has decided to take Sunday off 
and leave me to my own devices. 




So I asked my guys for some input,unlike yesterdays blank looks,
 and the suggestion
 that it needed a head. 
Today it was suggested that I save the tiles and we play scrabble later, 
and there were 
various other things that the tiles could spell out 
and I won't repeat them here.
 ; )

So it's back to the old drawing board.

Work In Progress


This is what I am working on this weekend. It is for an auction.
I thought it was going rather smoothly.
I was really happy with the way it crackled.
I liked the deep color of the red.
The texture of the wings.



Then I put the first layer of gold on the Amor,
and it looks lopsided,
and crooked. 
Looking at the picture above,I think it looks really bad. 
So,tomorrow I will have to sand off the lettering and start over.
I still need to white wash the wings and Antique the entire piece. 
Did I mention the piece has to be submitted February 2nd?
Don't you just love deadlines?

Where Does Time Go?

Some times I feel like I live in a vacuum. A giant time sucking vacuum. It's not like I am this super popular Art Chick that is jetting around the globe So where is it exactly that my time goes? I can't blame creation because,aside from one project I am working on, I haven't done much else. I've tried retracing my steps to see if I could find the portal that is responsible for my time issue and have come up with nothing.
Go figure.

I am working on an auction piece for another Gallery. I will post pictures when it is finished.
It's a heart cut out of wood. We were all given the same heart and it is up to us to create something wonderful. It's been fun. Since the pictures are on the other computer and I am at work,you will have to wait to see the progress.

  I feel like I should post more and not be such a bad blog mother,but I haven't felt that blog spark in a while. Maybe I need a new look and perhaps a new name.
What do you think?
