Cat Beads

See my itty bitty kitties? Too bad they kept rolling around on the scanner glass. And you can't see the green in the jade-ish ones.

But-- life goes on. And I can't stop making these things, they're ruining my sleep. And I'm working on some other stuff. I hope modelling clay is good for my hands-- they need all the help they can get! My skin is SO dried-out from washing my hands all the time, or even just rinsing them off. Udder cream works well, get it at the pet supermarket. Not kidding, paint, dough, papier mach矇, fabric, metal, wood-- totally sucks all the moisture out of my hands. But who cares? I must not, because I don't try very hard to have smooth, young-looking skin.

Anyway, these little guys are sort of first drafts, but already people are asking for them. I have lots and lots and lots and lots of other ideas. Of course.

Another thing-- I'm getting one of those kneeler-type ergonomic chairs. I stand a lot, on purpose because I sit ALL DAY at work, so I need to get the veins pumping, but it kills my back. Okay-- drafting table and ergo-chair. On my list.

Have to say, though, I reallyreally am a "process" person. I like the doing of things, watching them evolve, getting more and more ideas. I finish projects, yes, but not until after I try some other stuff. The unfinished stuff is gestating. And it's NOT forgotten.

My kids decided yesterday that I won't die until I've finished ALL the things I've started, so I must be planning on never dying.

Hmmm, makes me think of Dorian Grey. Whoa-- I just got another idea!...
