Day Three Hundred Twenty-Six
Gah...trying to come up with titles and prices for the two pieces I am submitting tomorrow. This is the really hard part (for me). I really really love these two pieces but I would also be happy to sell them...if they are accepted, that is.
I have a working title for the collage but it is sort of longish. I may end up keeping the title if I can't think of something else pretty soon. And I have no clue for the other piece...none.
I will figure it out before I go to bed...that is my own deadline for this.

Day 325 - 365/2014
Day Three Hundred Twenty-Five
Two things.
1. Sue (and her dog Abby) came over tonight for dinner, videos, and games. We had such a lovely time. Ahhhhh.
2. I checked on the tweaked plaster cloth guy and I am even MORE in love with him now that he is dry. (Unexpected) success!!!
That is all for today.

Day 324 - 365/2014
Day Three Hundred Twenty-Four
Oh. my. gosh. I am TOTALLY and UTTERLY in love with one of my plaster cloth guys again. This is absolutely disrupting what I thought my plans were for that upcoming show...and this is all I am showing for today. Either way -- whatever happens -- however things turn out -- I am ecstatic.
I will show the rest after the juror's results.

Day 323 - 365/2014
Day Three Hundred Twenty-Three
Today was a day of
-- coffee with Jan, Leann, and Joan
-- meeting up with my sister and then an unexpected and delicious lunch with her
-- about 5 errands (babystepping on semi-fresh slushy (by then) snow in my tennis shoes)
-- much pain from the babystepping on slippy parking lots and sidewalks
This evening's project was updating the blog post of last Thursday. I managed to narrow it down to SIXTY photos that all needed a little editing. What a blast that paper mask making project was! Here is a LINK to see the blog post...and within that post is a link to the creator of the masks.

Day 322 - 365/2014
Day Three Hundred Twenty-Two
This is another really hard pain day, plus bad allergies. I am in between projects...completed the bowling pin cat-creature ahead of schedule...ready for the submission(s) for that upcoming show on Sunday...I've tried to get started on a couple of different things this afternoon and this evening but nothing is coming. It feels like something is bubbling just below the surface...like something is about to happen...dunno what...but something.

Day 321 - 365/2014
Day Three Hundred Twenty-one
What I Did Today:
1. Got tired of looking at the big blue guy on the canvas's big round eyes so I played around with some paper and made him another temporary face.
2. Totally finished the bowling pin cat-creature with final sealing coat, cleaned up the underneath part of the bowling pin, and signed/dated it.
3. Made a good dent in clearing out/putting away stuff in the behind-my-desk-area of my studio before I stopped for the night. I am not proud to show the pictures, but hey...it's what I did today.

Day 320 - 365/2014
Day Three Hundred Twenty
I decided today that yes, the bowling pin cat-creature should be finished as is...just the black paper (with inclusions) and a sealer. Today I added a few extra torn bits of paper and I re-coated him really well with matte medium to make sure all of the paper edges and little twigs, leaves, etc. were all secure. I am sure that a few may stick up in the end, but at least they will be well secured. I intend to put a harder finish on him, as well.
I dunno...I sort of think he is a bit elegant looking...about as elegant as a plaster cloth covered bowling pin cat-creature covered in decorative paper could turn out.
