snooze-a-roo…
I dislike having to listen to a rather boring conference call when I’m already fighting to stay awake.
Bleh.
With the exception of finishing up some weaving in-of-the-ends on the two sweaters I made for my SIL’s baby (due at the beginning of February) and attaching the buttons, my knitting frenzy has died down somewhat. I’ve started a sock, but I want to try to restrict my knitting to the commute home (since there is no daylight at 5am yet, I can only knit on the way home), and move on to other things at home.
I’m in the process of cleaning up my office (finally!). We went to IKEA on Monday and got a storage shelving unit so I could move some boxes that were in my closet (and on the floor of my office) out to the garage and be able to keep most of the stuff off the floor. We also picked up a couple of nightstands. I wanted the solid pine design, but apparently so did everyone else, because they were out of stock. So we got a reddish-toned set instead. Very easy to put together. And the store? Daayam! That place is HUGE!
Anyway, I can see most of my floor now. I still have other things to get put away & organized… and then I want to start dedicating more time to sculpting again. I’ve been visiting a couple of message boards where some pretty kick-ass sculptors post, and well, it’s started to inspire me. Especially upon learning some tips that will help make my sculpts stronger & sturdier, particularly the wings on my dragons.
I plan on starting with the dragon I was making for Josh, which means I get to pick off all the clay and re-do the armature. But that’s ok, I wasn’t too happy with its head, and the armature was weak anyway. I’m actually anxious to get started, but I have to wait for some stronger armature wire that I ordered, as well as wire mesh*, and I still need to order some epoxy mix (actually it’s Apoxy Sculpt, by Aves) to strengthen the joints on the armatures…
* the wire mesh is, what I have discovered, the secret to strong wing membranes.
But the clean room comes first, I am holding myself to that.
