Ah Sunday morning, a day filled with possibilities. I glance around my messy studio and see pieces of my Bitch purse laying everywhere. Its time to just get the darn thing done. The hold up: trying to decide if I was going to do some trickly closure or just make it a top open hand bag. This shouldn't have been such a big debate. Considering I had every intention of keeping it I just sat down and lined the bag-total time about 25 minutes included sewing on the pockets and handles. Now its done and I can be rid of my big, black, suitcase and carrying it will be great advertising.
It felt so good to have a stagnant project done that I whipped through the house doing other things that have waited for my attention including casting my daughter's finger. Some friends of ours gave us the stuff for her birthday and though she'd been here all week we hadn't gotten to it. It's a new process see, and those always make me drag my feet a little. It turned out adorable and we have plans to do more, perhaps each of her fingers, next week.
Then back to my head. This two, being a new process, is something that could easily get neglected, but on this magic Sunday I refused to let it happen. I busted out the wooden beads and started painting. Then I dove right in with an exacto knife and placed them in her head. After a little needle sculpting she has a full face. A perfect Mother Nature face, both young and old, wise yet awed. Don't be fooled. The hair is not attached yet. Just without it she looks a bit like an alien. I am not prone to finishing a head before it is attached to a body but this whole doll has been different than my usual process. So what am I doing? Going along for the ride.
I look around today and have some clean up to do, plaster to be put away, paint to clean up, but I feel ready to tackle anything.
