it has been a while since i've posted anything. my mini mojo (as well as blog mojo) has been lacking. well, not exactly. i've been thinking about this post for a while. i was just trying to find the right words. i'm the kind of girl that when i make something, i want it to look/be exactly right. exactly like i thought it should be when i imagined it. also, i'm very impatient. i want it to look/be right the first time. so needless to say, i've been trying to get away from that mindset and just create.
i am working on sculpting a doll at the moment and it is very slow going because of course it's just not *quite* perfect. i don't know why it should be...it's only the second doll i've ever attempted. i read in a blog somewhere that your first attempts at dolls will probably look like ugly old men no matter what look you were going for. this is true for me. my first doll is...well some say disturbing. she is very disproportioned (small head and large feet and hands). her face is a little scary...but she has a special place in my heart. she's staying at my mom's house waiting for some clothes. maybe she'll let me take a picture (after she gets the clothes). anyway...
