Deviation Actions
This winter, My Husband decided that he wanted to install a heating unit in my studio. I was thrilled with the prospect, but dreaded the action. Why? ...well because my studio is a miasmic, clutterfuck of a complete mess! (sorry about the cursing)...
I have a whole sort of warehouse full of supplies, crammed into a tiny 12x12 foot space, plus literally 25-(probably more) half-finished projects strewn haphazardly in random open spots. Now....My Husband is like a 'Bull in a China Shop' and told me I have to "Clear Out" the place so he can work safely. The problem is...I have nowhere to move "said stuff"! What on earth am I to do?
I am already half way through my "Off Season" (meaning; No making of doll eyes--instead, I am supposed to work on my other things). I know that my Hubby takes too long to finish anything (not really his fault) He runs a shop mainly alone, and it is 6 days a week, from 7a.m. to 6:30p.m. The only day he has off is Sundays. So far...we have had to do other things, then more of the same tomorrow too. I have only 1 corner shelf bought, and still need at least 3 other floor to wall shelving units installed AROUND this hole-in-the-wall, that he has already started. We are already three weeks in on this 'renovation' and all I have to show for it, is a blank wall, with a hole cut into it, and one of my work stations shoved against my center island work spot. This really stinks! I still have to pack, and ship weekly purchase orders from my shop, so I am shifting random "homeless objects" around just so I can get it done.
I am relatively patient, and tolerant of a disruption such as this, and I am flexible enough to work around it...but I am getting, more, and more frustrated every day. I am so tempted to arrange another family member to help me with this. I need places for my things/supplies, I need organization, so I have a more conducive atmosphere to work in. If I had money, I would hire a professional organizer and their crew to get it done. ...So much for making Christmas Gifts, and so much for personal projects. It looks to me, like the only project going to get done is maybe a heater, some floor protection mats, and some new shelving. (I hope).

...Another year has passed!
"Geeze!...What has happened?!" I hadn't realized it has been that long since I checked in. Wow! For ALL the messages, and comments I have missed, I am so sorry! I just do not have as much free time as I would like to keep up with things here so much.
Things are consistent for the most part 'round my studio. I remain quite busy. I still manage to squeeze in some Art along the way. I will dutifully post the "New Workings, and progress images" accordingly; It will take a while though. Making eyes is still a priority, as well as my sustenance.
I may never catch up with all these messages bloating up my inbox, so I will say this: "Hello!" To al
Change is coming...
WARNING!: Long passages, and deep reflection is being expressed below. If you do not have the time, attention span, or simply do not even remotely care, I urge you to move on, away from this post.
I find myself losing interest in Fantasy Art...I have no idea what this will mean for the future. Maybe it is a phase, maybe it isn't.
I think I may gradually shift focus to other forms of art; Perhaps, it will transform into more traditional fine art, landscapes, and more simplistic sculptural forms.
I visited my own website gallery, and was kinda' bombarded by all the brightness, and saturation of color that I had always loved in the past. It
Finally...A break!
I am happy to be free for working on my own personal projects again. "I do get weary of making doll eyes ya know." I know that it is my income, but there is so much more to me than darn eyeballs! :shakefish:
August has come and gone ever so quickly. I turned 40... "I know, ...40!!!" I still cannot believe it! I surely do not feel like 40 probably should, but...I accept it--gracefully.
I have soo many more projects to do as usual, there are too many ideas and never enough time. I am thinking I will be doing something that I have not done in many, many years; Portraits. *Gasps* Yes you read correctly. A Fantasy Artist is flipping to: "The oth
Another Check-in...
*flails* X_X
I see well over 10,000 messages! I will never get through them all. I wish I had time to view each and every one, but it is impossible! :(
I value everyone's feedback as well. I am still here, when I can be, and it is getting harder, and harder to keep up.
I just want to let everyone here know that I am so grateful. I am sorry if I cannot reply to each message, please know that you all are appreciated. :heart:
I also need to make an edit to my contact email; My Business email has been mired in an "Error 14" code for MONTHS! Yahoo seems to be lacking as of late, and having to struggle with "Windows 8" Issues does nothing to he

Aw man, if I lived close I'd help you install that unit, myself. I rarely shy away from a 'man's' project, and have built my own shelves, work tables, etc, more than once. Here's hoping you can find your organization, and your shop fixed up, SOON!
