arachne8xI am painting my first miniature under the tutelage of my SO. She is a barbarian and hopefully will turn out really cool. The other night I got started and received many tips and lessons about painting miniatures. Last night he told me that he regretted the way that he starte to teach me. That he realized that he had given me too much information at first. I told him never mind. The truth is that when this fool leg starts acting respectably I will be teaching him swing dancing. I am sure that he will get more than his fair share of tips and lessons. I have many nitpicky preferences about dancing and since he will be dancing with me I would like him to learn them right the first time.
I am delighted with learning how to do this. Its fun seeing the colors come together. Thats my favorite part of art really, the colors.
I haven't made a piece of jewellery in almost a year. I think its because I don't really watch TV anymore. If I ever have the kind of life where I come home to relax in front of TV or a movie I think that I will start again. I think part of the trouble is that I know that any piece I start I will be obsessed over. At present I want to make a Victorian lace collar. This will take a fair amount of time although it is open work which helps some. I already have all the beads. I just need to start working on it. I also want to make two small pieces to sew onto my moccassin boots.
Sigh. There is so much I want to do and work keeps getting in the way. Unfortunately, or fortunately depeneding on how you look at things, work is one of them. When I am involved in classes or research that inspires me then I truly enjoy what I am doing. But I have no inspiration at the moment. I wish I had found another class to take that would have been easier than the one I dropped. I should have taken geodynamics. Suddenly my students don't need me anymore and I have all this time to work, but my work is not that type of thing that is done for hours on end. It is setting something to run for hours on end and then analyzing the results.
Why don't I work on the thesis writeup you say? Because I have no feedback on what needs to be done next with it. And so time will continue to go by while I wait to have the results I need. Which leaves room for reading and musings so I can't complain too much. Also I have more time with my boyfriend. Soon, all too soon, I will be swamped and we will see eachother much less.
