Another funky update

Sincerest apologies :0
Yes, i have missed three whole weeks worth of updates for no good reason, the shock, the horror! In truth, i have still been doing my little daily creative tasks, they’ve just been slow. I’ve been enrolled on a course to aid my job seeking ventures and its taking up too much time to be…

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…

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…

Axel is almost complete
Just a small update again, axel is making good progress, his outfit is particularly decorated, his face is on his head, his nails and hooves are repainted. Now to begin adding his hair. I’d also really like to carry on adding accessories, i want him to look a bit… Much. The dolls are also developing…

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 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…

But I won’t be re-writing this whole post… Absolutely not Wow, what a twist, katie started another project despite having countless other projects on the go! Shocking!

What is this weather?
And why does it have to make me feel this way??? As it is much too hot and stuffy for cosplay and i still have not picked up a paint brush this week, i decided to have a play with clay… Yay These faces were completely spontaneous, i had absolutely no plans some of them…

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…
