Hi Dolls : )

[blue]

Hope you've all had a fantastic day ;D


Hey am Still buzzing over the weekends events, was so fab.
tee hee hee




It was so pretty in Hamilton with all of the fallen leaves over the place. gorgeous scrumptious dried leaves, sort of make you want to go kick them about like a kid. the piles of them are huge in some places and yes i did have to bring some home with me

...


Anyhow, I am going to write a wee story for the doll federation newsletter about encouraging one another as young artists etc and to not give up on what we are so passionate about with our creations . and wanted to know if you had any ideas to share as to what has really helped you ..

I do know i couldn't have done it at all without everyones encouragement thats for sure.
All your work is inspirational. ;D ;D ;D

Finding some one who share your enthusiasm helps
their work is very inspiring

Not sure how to say this right but bear with me
I think its good to know that a lot of people experience a dislike towards their own creation at some stage of the making
Sometimes we stop liking it after we are finished and only start to like it once we have lived with it for a while- perhaps because it didn't come out how we envisioned
Sometimes it happens halfway through a sculpt and if we don’t persevere through this troubled spot it will end up forever unfinished
some times letting go of expectations can result in a fun sculpt
Don't know if this helps but it might trigger some other ideas

Just write from your heart I know it will be beautiful Blue
love the part about leaves -hie hie took some home -hope they inspire another great sculpt

thanks so much for that tails.

and yes....leaves..........gorgeous scrumptious crinkle leaves.......yummy
and yes they are on my table and no i dont have any idea what ill do with them.........maybe pin them to the wall with all the other bits of nature im holding to ransom......lmao and yes i do have a stone collection and a shell collection and a box of feathers and a jar of beads and one large jar of dimantes i just keep to play with in the sunlight......... and thats all im gonna admit to for today


yes your right about *going off a piece* just need to rest the eyes from it usually till ive figured out how to do something to fix it up ..........sometimes it works.....other times things just go in the dodgey box.........


ok......back to work..................x

They are great for reference to make clay leaves or just because
I think I might still have a tiny leaf from about ten years ago somewhere
ooh shiny things tee hee

yip 'I rest my eyes' when it comes to a lot of sculpts
happy sculpting Blue
