Another funky update

A very exciting update
I’m one step closer to my dreams of looking like the octopus super fan that i truly am! Thanks to handy dandy fabric paint and oodles of patience i am no the proud owner of not only a pair of octopus shoes, but also, an octopus jacket! I’m so happy with how these turned out,…

Another silly man…. Among other things
I do feel like I’m entering a “being creative because i have to” phase in my year of art. I fear the quality of what I’m making is severely lacking because I’m really not motivated to think about anything too much. I’m doing the things, and I’m enjoying the process, so I’m classing all these…

Low stakes projects
Maintaining a goal of being creative everyday sometimes feels a bit daunting. I think where i usually go wrong is when i get it in my head that i need to finish whatever project i start, or that it has to be “cool” or interesting in some way, that i absolutely HAVE to better myself…

New projects
Starting strong with a bit of sculpting fun! I designed a cute pen holder inspired by alice in wonderland, featuring a fake drippy candle, an oversized spool of thread, a tea cup and mushrooms. I mainly wanted to make this because i desperately wanted to work with a big ol slab of clay, i did…

A resolution
This year’s resolution is simple on paper, but I’m sure it will be a challenge to keep up with, given my track record; i must be creative everyday. I’m not being silly, I’m not saying i must make complete works of art every day, just dedicate at least 20 minutes everyday to doing something creative.…

The Christmas dolls; revealed!
I can finally showcase these cuties!!! These were so fun to see come together, and despite my lack of sewing enthusiasm, I absolutely will be making more (i may or may not have already started making more). The plan for the project was pretty simple, sketches where mainly to have a vague plan of the…

A small bit of painterly progress
I have retrieved my painting from behind my wardrobe and have added to it. Now, full disclosure, the original additions were the result of a nice little crash out, a wee temper tantrum after a bad week… It got angsty… It got very “im 14 and this is deep”. But I’m not 14… Im 24….…

Christmas project
I have unfortunately not made any progress on Axel, his face plate took a little longer then anticipated and by the time he was dry enough for paint, I’d already begun the next ridiculously hefty project. Last year i made my friends their own curiosity bear, it went down quite well and after asking them…

Project update
So, to start I’ll let it be known that an updated Axel bear is currently in progress, I’ll drop the new face sculpt here alongside the original. I’m really trying to inject more personality into my bear faces now, i think some of my old ones were kinda meh. Ill of course post any updates…

Gabriel bear 2.0
He is complete!!! I’m absolutely over the moon with this final bear, hes exactly as i pictured him, complete with little pin badges, name tag, art supplies and juice box. I definitely feel like I’m getting my creativity back, I’m already preparing my Axel bear for a new face, hair and fit, I’m excited to…

Gabriel progress
I am extremely happy with the direction the new and improved Gabriel bear is going! His new face is officially complete along with his new outfit, all that’s left is to attach the face plate, create his little accessories like juice box and badges and then I’ll be on to the dreaded hair. While i…

Rest in pieces, original Gabriel
I have decided it is time to say goodbye to some of the original Gabriel pieces I’ve made over the years, i have healed my boy and its time to update the pieces of him i have on display. So first to go was the Gabriel doll repaint, it was a decent first attempt, but…

Art block, thou art a cruel mistress
I once again bring a rather sub-par and disappointing collection of work to my imaginary tutor. This week has been a hazy one and once more i have done, very little towards my projects. I have however done some junk journaling, i will definitely be doing it more often now, i find sticking random things…

Oho! Whats this? Decent progress? Crikey
INDEED! First of all we’ll start with the best progress for a project; a completed project! Yay! The freak! My bear creation! Overall I’m very happy with her, I’ve decided i love the foam clay, i think it is much more practical than paperclay. Not sure what this bizarre creature is called but I’m a…

A quick one
So this week has not gone quite as planned, my priorities changed a little at the start of the week, not necessarily a bad thing but its got a little in the way of my art plans 🙄 But i have made a little progress on the painting! Two base sketch layers are down, I’m…
