I keep thinking that I should give my little posts some kind of deeper thought... some philosophical bent or a point or something.
Nah. This is a simple ego-dump where I just chat at the computer. I pretend it is my friend, or maybe a relative, that I'm catching up on my days.
Hi! Good to see you. Have a good weekend? I did. Busy, though, and there were several chores that I avoided.
I've been really distracted by balloon figures the last few days or so. I'm going through my reference book and transfering the figures into the new twister font I built... argh! I did, at least, find a nice font-building tool that's free for 30 days, at www.high-logic.com.
Oooh, and I fired Marla's thingy this weekend. It fired nicely and polished to a bright sheen.
It doesn't look like my target -- I was going for smooth, shiny, almost liquid silver. What I got was something that looks sculpted. But I'm happy overall with the shape and feel.
I may try to do more like it, or maybe I'll just play with the materials now.
I'm also looking to have a fun Jewelry Party, maybe even a sleepover so we can sculpt one day and fire and finish the next. I'm thinking at Sofia's, but Michelle has offered up space, too.
It's funny how I am either reading, writing, or making stuff. These activities are WAY more fun and enriching than, say, cleaning, tidying, washing dishes, folding laundry. Marla is the same -- though reading is higher on her list than mine, and I write and make more stuff than she does.
So, as you would expect, my house and office spaces are untidy at best.
I get frustrated with the clutter sometimes. I really do like a clean house.
But it's about priorities and where I want to put my energy.
