The damaged parts are repaired and sanded. Now she just needs a light coat of primer, and I can start on my molds again!
Work in progress. Texture paste, paint, stamping and tape. Includes a gel transfer from a large print word search in the background. The birds were all one stamp that I put on tissue paper and cut out. Not sure what to do next on this one but it was fun experimenting with the texture paste and stencil. The idea to stamp on the texture paste came from a youtube video but I forget who's. Another page in my newspaper flyer journal

Tulle and ribbon...my nemesis
This is about 30 meters of 9 inch wide tulle with ribbon on one long edge. And it ALL needs to be gathered!
essex linen in lime and railroad denim::the denims are all so completely different so it's a little challenging to work with. Some are really heavy and some very light and loosely woven, but I like the different textures and subtle differences in colors.
Body Progress #1
Now begins the complex process of bringing those complex curves to life, on a computer screen that is.
Work in progress shot of the twin horns. Luckily there were 2 brackets with the correct mounting holes, which made the whole process that much easier.
Depiction of artists and their progression. Or at least, that's how I started out. Blalfhaffadkjaf this sounded/looked good in my head, except when I started doodling blah flowers it started to look kiddy. BLap.
So I start by lightly tracing the face shapes, then carefully painted the faces one by one, usually some will not pass (will not become dolls). I figure if I am going to mess up painting the faces, I might as well mess up first rather than mess up a completed doll ^^;
Blush is usually added right at the end :)
Making progress on the driveway, about halfway to the road at the end of day 1 of the storm. The drifts are up to 5 feet. Cheektowaga, NY 11-18-14
By this time it was strange because a lot of Pollen had fallen (a natural rhyme) which made the roof really slippery.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is making significant progress on the project to upgrade Highway 97 to four lanes between Winfield and Oyama in the District Of Lake Country, B.C.
This new alignment will remove highway traffic from the last two lane section of Highway 97 between Westbank and Vernon. The new 9 km alignment will be west of the existing highway above Wood Lake.
Here's a side-by-side comparison of what the county and state have done to our landscape this year. On the left is a shot of the roadside at the curve in front of our home taken last fall. On the right, the same view taken about three weeks ago.
The county of Allamakee and the State of Iowa (in their infinite wisdom) deemed it necessary to "improve" the road we live on. They bulldozed a full 25 feet off the end of that beautiful old slope and left us with a highly erodible, bare scar on what used to be that hillside. It is like this along the entire 8 miles of what used to be one of the most beautiful roads in the area. They told us it was necessary to "make the road straighter and safer". What they didn't tell us was how they planned to rape the entire area.
We used to have more than 30 species of wildflowers that bloomed all season long along this road. Now, after they have "improved" things, we have only three types of grasses and one flowering plant (Birdsfoot Trefoil), and it's not even a native! With the loss of native habitat, we also lost Orioles, Thrushes, Scarlet Tanagers, Goldfinches and any number of songbirds.
They will eventually pave this gash in the landscape allowing people to drive faster and more recklessly year-round. With that, we will likely see an increase in accidents. With more traffic, we will probably see more litter. And we will likely lose many more "barn cats" due to careless driving.
But then, what do I know? I am not an overpaid engineer sitting on my soft butt in an office somewhere approving projects based only on their paperwork. I just live here.
If this is "progress", they can have it.
