It's a rainy day
today which is good because we really need it. I'm sort of in sync with
the weather. I feel tired, lethargic, unmotivated. The little dogs
are in their beds. Nothing else to do.
The little dogs
belong to my sister who is in Chicago to 'be there' for her daughter
who is running in the marathon today. 45,000 insane people athletes
running 26.2 miles non-stop for absolutely no reason at all.
I'm sort of
working on this model, the current 'botera' (my personal shorthand
for botanica erotica). I thought it would be the next easiest one but
it is being...difficult. I'm having a hard time converting the angle
of the two dimensional photo into my three dimensional form. I think
I might have approached it all wrong from the beginning. I already
re-did the stacking of the layers once.
I flit between
browsing the internet, writing this post, and working on the model.
Sometimes I think I am making progress on the model and sometimes I
think I'm just moving material around.
you must be getting the rain we had yesterday. got 1/2. today, so far, just a tiny bit of drizzle. hoping for lots more.
ReplyDeleteyour model reminded me of turtle shells. big mama would be happy. :)
I think the model is lovely and erotic...even if a little unfinished. You are an exceptional talent.
ReplyDeleteYou are moving the material around until the progress has been made that your subconscious has already figured out. Probably.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're getting rain. I know how it feels to need it so badly and then finally get some.
Yeah for the rain.....we could use some more too. But we just had balloon fiesta and now that it is over we can all send the positive vibes again for moisture......and pray the wind stops. Your piece is just taking it's time letting you figure it out.....and I'm sure you will. Oma Linda
ReplyDeleteThe news tonight said it's raining all over Texas--and that's a lot of state.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the dogs, at least, have the situation in hand. Or bed, as the case may be.
The dogs are adorable and you're so good to take care of them.
ReplyDeleteYes, they're insane people!
We needed the rain we've had. It's cozy. Why not relax for a day? You work so hard.
Cute puppies! It might be insane, but I think that if I COULD run that far I WOULD. Ha!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has been working with wax for some time, I often wonder what bad habits I've gotten into. I'm considering a change around to working in clay (either oil or water based) and then molding that for the wax. You know, doing a little due diligence and finding out just how of it is just moving stuff around.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling of working and working and wondering....what the hell am I doing?? Or where was I going anyway?? LOL
ReplyDeleteHugging you
nice piece

Awww, love the dogs. That's how things look around here about 80 percent of the time. :)
