Over analytical and indecisive... or rather too precious about each step... It's naturally who I am, but I've got to make it work. Right now I feel it's not working.
I feel another growing pain coming on. I've been diving inward a bit more than I'd like, so of course coffee propels me into some productivity. Crutches for now.
Emily and I met and went over all the pieces that I'm currently working on. Everything is ahead of schedule, but I'd like to push faster- just more time for details in the finishing touches later on. Allergies and a mood shift have slowed me down a bit. I gave myself a rest today, but I'm up and working tonight.
Every time I hit a writer's block, I hang out with Ben and the kids. Making something simple or doing a craft like braiding Parker's hair really helps. It's good to stay in the making process, but to give yourself some distance.
Moo has been going to his occupational therapy, and he loves loves loves it. We sneak in a lunch date just the two of us. I really love the time I get with him, he has a bigger voice when there's no one around to compete for my attention.
Peeves in the window. I've also been tinkering with cameras again to give myself a small break, but to keep myself active in making.
This is the board I'll be using for my Papaw's piece. It has four knots on the right, he was one of four children. And it has 6 knots on the left, he had 6 daughters. I am struggling with this, because it's such a mix of the different pathes I take when composing a piece. It's much further along now, and I'm just going to have to trust myself and push forward.
Basic first layer for this piece, still just a sketch. There will also be a 3D version- a sculpture installation.
I started on Amelia's piece and talked with Emily on where to head with Milo's.
