I wonder how people do it!


How do you all manage to keep your blogs up to date? I have the hardest time with this. Maybe I should just say "Hi. Still being an artist here. Wanna see my latest work? Have a look." I don't have anything exciting going on in my life. I'm not doing shows; can't afford them. Unemployment is about to run out but I still haven't found a job I can handle at my age and with my skill set and physical limitations. The only constant in my life is my art.

I decided to do a few raven pendants. These are polymer clay painted with Genesis Heat Set Oils and pearlex tinted liquid Sculpey. I think they turned out pretty good, but who knows if they'll sell.

It's too damn hot here to do much of anything. The clay is too soft, the pasta machine motor heats up too fast and the garage is too warm to work on the torch, and I'm out of propane anyway. But hey, I'm still an artist! I'm just too stubborn to quit.
