Another Unproductive Week

Hello hello,

My motivation is still evading me despite all the ideas I have swirling around. I actually am sitting and thinking about how to tackle Princess Peach but as far as actually starting it goes I don't have a lot to show for it. The long and the short of it is that I ordered some more pink beads to fill in the missing portions (and have a few more on the way) and should have the beading for the bodice started this upcoming week.

This is also the first time I've created and posted from the iPad app, so we'll see if this comes out ridiculous looking or not.

Hopefully I'll have something to show for all this,

Pinky

Not exactly back in the swing of things, but feeling better

Hello fellow artists,

I've been absent the past few weeks for a handful of reasons, the top one being that I've had a bit of artist's block or, as I've been told, worn myself out from it. All my friends, my mother, and my brother said I needed a break. As my brother put it, "You've been working on art every day for years, let yourself have a vacation!" Well, so I have. Every time I so much as looked at my beads or patterns I was suddenly way more interested in cleaning or going back to bed. It was downright awful even thinking about sewing.

For the first time since this began, yesterday I looked at the beads I have gathered for Princess Peach and actually wanted to do something with them. I got online, hunted down through fierce determination the two shades of pink I was missing (one was marked as "salmon", feh!), and was even excited to start working on her pattern again! Like, I'm wondering how I'll be able to get all that gold detail in on her bodice without it becoming clumpy - that's going to be a lot of fun to figure out!

With that, I'll bring you up to speed.
