The show will be going til the end of July, so if y'all have time to check it out, please do!

And if you've got the time and resources (or just happen to live in the area) I'd love to meet you at the opening on July 3. ^___^



So, yus. YAY! I'll have pics of the dolls that will be for sale at the show closer to the date. ^_^

So the limbs look a little big, but it's just that the torso and head have had a good day's more drying time and have shrunk more. The limbs should catch up soon. (and I'll be carving them as they get harder.)

I didn't get the hands done like I wanted to. So, those get bumped to Monday. Ah well. I'm still doing skellieones tomorrow. ^_^

( And some silly vagina dentada head-like thing I made the other night. :P :P )

So the VDhead thingie is actually having more problems with cracking than the bjdthingie. Which is good because I'm not really invested in it much. It's just silly looking and there to learn on. :D

Found! -

1. Inhaler! yeys.
2. Camera battery charger! yeys!
3. Matching Socks! yeys?

Today is a marked improvement over yesterday.

^_^

and the bjd2.0 thingie now has legs and arms! and a torso! whoot! Pictures once my camera is charged. So, today I get to make hands and feet!

Tomorrow is too busy with other obligations to work on bjdthingie, but I might finish off a couple skellieones that I owe people and maybe a couple for my etsy store. ^__^ (as it take about 45 seconds to finish them due to them being almost finished. :P)

So yay! I got 6 hours in on the bjd experiment today. ^_^

I got the torso fleshed out, the head hollowed, eyes and mouth carved out and a bit more detail work on the head.

No cracking so far? *crosses fingers.

( More Pics under the cut )

So my workspace is hella messy now, but I'll clean it up before I go to bed. I've still got laundry to fold and I don't want clay bits and dust all over it. :P



I also found some awesome techniques for faux stone and scales. ^-^ I think I'm gonna try and finish a basilisk while this dries. ^_^

Whoot! I'm really tired now. I think I'm gonna go make dinner before I clean up for the day. (and play with wire armatures while I watch a movie. ^_^)

has been bleah. meh. and other -eh sounds.

I had a lot of fun at Minicon last weekend! ^_^ (and then seeing/missing some girlies when I got back. ^_^/;_; uh. yeah. :P) I must say that I am *completely* worn out from a 6 hour drive by myself. D: D: Next time I'm arranging my car better and getting someone to ride with me. (makes crazy!jane faces)

It was AWESOME seeing all you fabulous people, too! ^___^ I really wish I could have cloned myself and hung out with everyone more. ^_^ *hugs*

Coming home though, I've felt like ass for the past couple days. I'm just now starting to feel like my hips and shoulders are part of my body again and not solitary little volcanically active islands (and not in the good way. :(( ). D: But today, brainfog is lifting! yay! And I've started stage 2 of the art project that is my hair. yus. ^___^ (and no I'm not cutting anything but split ends at the moment. :P)

Also! I have cards now! ^__^ Like, ones I drew and stuff. ^_____^ YAY!



So, today I have to run do some errands before I head to the studio to work on stuff. ^_^ I've still got the Hut in my car so I can transport it and the dolls to a sekret location tomorrow. :P yey!

But first I have some quick lunch. mmmm... lunch.

the House is almost finished! :D all I've got left is to sew the buckles on the roof, paint a few details, and finish the chimney on the outside. ^____^ So Happy! ^______^

Today I make the White, Red and Black Beasts and Riders (armatures are already finished. just the fun stuff left. ^_^), Baba Yaga's Mortar, Pestle and Broom, finish the Mother Doll and sculpt skelliones. eep! Way to cut it close there, jane. D:

I best be getting to work, then. ^_^ (after a shower 'cause yeah. necessary. :P)

I almost finished Vasilisa this evening. I've just got to clean her up and sew a few details on her skirt. ^_^ (and maybe put a flower in her hair?)

Baba Yaga still needs a skirt and that's on the list for tomorrow. And! The House should be ready to do more work on too! yey! ^_____^




( Progress of Vasilisa the Beautiful. ^_^ )

Today was awesome! jeffreyp brought some tubular metal recycled from an old futon frame cver to the studio this week and I spent the afternoon hanging with girlies and bending it into chicken leg armatures for Baba Yaga's house! Whoot!

ladymeshel, alierakieron, evilevi, tjoshea, and alyska and jeffreyp came over and kept me company for a while. ^____^ And the studio was warmish! whoot! ^_^

I got legs bent, plans written up, suibhne_geilt's GNP present started primed, about 6 armatures primed for sculpting and one head sculpted today! YAY PRODUCTIVE! ^___^

I spent almost 9+ hours over there. *dies* But if I have to die working, that's the kinda work I want to die doing. :P :P

And?? I got to talk to strangemodegirl while I was having breakfast this morning. YAY!

*does a dance and heads to bed*

Still sick. bleah. I have not been this sick in a looooong time. :( I'm making the best of it, though. :/ and I've got a doctor's appt on Tuesday, so that's something.

But! I'm about to grab some dinner and head over to the studio to work for a bit. ^___^ (taking precautions to layer and glove myself. Jeff's installed more lights and ceiling tiles, so it's actually holding the heat rather well! yay!! I still need gloves and several sweaters, though. :P)

Last night I prepped some armatures and sorted supplies and stuff, so tonight I'm gonna get a good start on Baba Yaga and see if Pan is willing to cooperate. ^_^

Then I need to put the boxes together to send off Two and Four to their new homes, print off their cards and take a trip to the Post Office. yus. And if my camera's charged by then, I might take pics of the crowling's going away party for them. :)

Okee. Dinner first and the to work!

I feel better. I think I'm getting sick, though. bleah.

If you haven't seen it yet, nigel_corvix has a motorcycle!!!! :D :D :D

Now I've got to make him a helmet. ;)

Also Also, New Layout! and I did it myself! ^_^ *is proud*

Okee. I go work now. and couch a lung up. or try not to. maybe it's just asthma. the air quality today sucks. :(

HA!! I think this is the horrorscope of my life, not just tomorrow. :P :P

Your horoscope for January 4, 2009
Action is the key word of the day for you, Jane, so put on some comfortable shoes this morning and have a good time. Infuse a bit of non sequitur playfulness in your dealings with others and find ways in which you can escape reality for a little while. Take the original scenario and add a twist of the bizarre. Opinions will be especially strong today and conflict may arise, but realize that a breath of playfulness and lightheartedness will remedy any situation.

I had a lovely time at the birthday of the lovely miss lipf3tish tonight and I feel much better now. ^___^ (I still want to climb the walls, but I no longer want to claw people's eyes out when I do so. :P)

yus.

Anywhoo, I'm up too late so I'm going to bed.

'Night!

Seriously considering spending next December/Januaryish with strangemodegirl
