Mini Men

I'm done. What few marbles I had left, they are gone. Rolling away. I've always loved miniatures. I never had a doll house when I was a kid and always wanted one. Now I want several. I have to start small and somewhere so I decided to do some figures. Do I know what I'm doing? No but there's nothing like a challenge. I'll start with 2 and let you know what happens.
Both Wendys are laughing hysterically right now. I don't know why because they are still on the drawing board. These guys are in the works. I have everything that I need to get them done. Except for maybe the confidence. I think I'll have dinner first. Wish me luck!

April, I'm coming.

I have my ginormous list for April on my wall. Am I panicking? Ummm, not yet. The full list hasn't sunk in. I'm a little nuts but my creativity balances that out. Here are the tails for mermaid ornaments. I have to go to the fabric store and get some skin tones. There are 25 little puppies. What am I thinking? Right now, it beats me. Maybe I shouldn't have stayed up late filleting, I mean sewing and turning them. Then again, everything and it's family is blooming and my nose and eyes are not having fun. Ah, spring!

My step mom asked for a small quilt to go over her when she goes to dialysis. I can't say no but I did pick an easy block pattern. She's doesn't care what color, so I looked through my stash. It's quite minimal, so I probably shouldn't call it that. Some quilters have closets and rooms full of fabric. Maybe one day I'll get there.

I loved the print of the main fabric and I think my step mom will too. I want to look for the dark purple and add some black. I can't wait to get started.

I forgot to mention in my last post that I saw a blue bird. Beautiful, just like in books. Had a production meeting for the film and sat through my first script read through. Interesting. I wish I could tell you about the story but you're gonna have to wait. Filming starts in June.

March Wrap-Up

Okay.... I don't know what happened to March. Maybe part of it was winter cabin fever finally getting the heck out of here, or Daylight Savings Time (that can screw anyone up), or the fear of finally doing things I want and like to do and having fun at it.

What did I get done? A few things: Outline for Script Frenzy, Beely got done, more skull ornaments; things got worked on such as my bunny wall hanging, Celtic Knot wall hanging, Bunners, 3 new Koji Bears, and things for the film. Not quite satisfying but it wasn't a total waste.

I did start walking again and started Tai Chi. So I'm looking out for my mental and physical health. Oh yeah, I am laughing. There were no fireworks in March. I'll have to change that for April. A new month. I can start again. Fine some trouble to get into. Still laughing. Maybe March was the calm before the birth of a creative firestorm. I like that. You just don't know what's coming. Smells like trouble to me.

Stay tuned.

Chickens

A friend of mine has laying hens and I've just had my first fresh egg sans chemicals, no exercise on the bird's part, and space rays. Oh My Gosh! I don't even have salt on it, just a little pepper and it melts like butter in my mouth. I guess I should've taken a pic but I've eaten it. Next time.

Works in Progress

Three Koji bears ready for heads and final wool covering. They have personalities already. I have sailor outfits on the drawing board for them.

I have a mermaid ornament pattern. I think they're the right size to double as pins. These lovely colors will be tails and fins. Gee, I made a rhyme. I never cease to tickle myself.

I am so looking forward to my weekend. You should see my list. I will come up for air to post more pics.

Script Frenzy

I've decided to take the plunge and do Script Frenzy this year. I will write a 100 page screenplay during the month of April. It's the baby sister of NANOWRIMO in November. I've done it before and succeeded with an action thriller called 'KillJoy'. This year I will do a drama titled 'The Kitchen'. My cast of characters is ready as well as my outline.

I have to do this because I feel like the NetFlix commercial with all the characters sitting in a classroom, waiting to be sent to viewers. Well my characters are out of my head and on paper. Patiently waiting, lingering like a runny nose that just won't go away. Bad Wendy is rolling around laughing.

Before I go I want to welcome my new followers. Thanks guys. I was surprised to see my numbers have grown. Now if the Spring Faerie would stop this teasing nonsense and keep a steady day-to-day temperature, I'd be very happy. Okay, I am feeling pretty good, but you know what I mean.

Parts and More Parts!

I love these legs. I felt I needed more parts for the film. A true doller has more than one project going on at the same time and this character (main one in film) will have all types of dolls in her shop. They kind of look like they can be Can-Can dancer legs or witchy legs. I think I'm going to have to make more of these and do the rest of the body. More things on the list, not many off.

I have some legs that won't be stuffed but be able to be spread on a table or stuck to a board on the wall. I like the green ones too. These are for the film. Down Bad Wendy, down.

I also did 2 sets of arms and one set will be stuffed. You can see the patterns to the right, which will probably be in the film too. I have different size body parts ready to be set. This is getting fun again. First real production meeting/rehearsal is Saturday. Woo hoo!

Up close on the arms. These individual fingers weren't too bad to do because they were quite big. I haven't stuffed the other set yet, so I don't know how much I'll be liking them when they're done. Still debating on if they fingers will be wired.

I know I'm behind and even though my eyeballs were getting funky again, I made sure I did something towards my art cause. Yay me!
