Too much to do and so little time...

Working on my newest 3D is time consuming - nooks and crannies and having to let the thinset dry in order to be able to work on the other side - but, it's coming along. It should be done in the next two weeks. I say it's the newest... it's the oldest really since I have several in the works, but it will be the newest completed one since 'Jessica.' Minutia really...

Whatever, once I get it done I can go back to the 2D work... the elf is calling me back and I have a real deadline on that.

I have another 3D in the works, though I am already against a wall on that one. That one will be used more as a 'take time out from the elf and his pony,' although if I can get it done by the end of May I will enter it into the Tangible show. Anyway, I'm looking for round ceramic medallions, black ones, 3/4 inch. I had one supplier, but they don't have black in the size I need... hopefully they just ran out and will get more - I'm waiting for an e-mail back.

In case they don't, I will be going to the Coverings show in Orlando next week - maybe I can find a supplier there.

If you know of a supplier - e-mail me :)

Entries and acrylics...

I decided to pull out the paints during down time between working on two competition pieces and a small flower pot - both are something I haven't done in years.

One of the things I enjoy out of EBSQ is the shows they put on for their members to compete in... regular shows, set themes... fun to work towards when there is both interest and time. It also gives me a chance to test new ideas in a small way.

Speaking of not-so-small... The 'elf Himself' is in hiatus while the two entries get completed... one isn't up till May but it's a sculpture [something I did several years ago]. Mosaicing a 3D object is extremely time comsuming and intensive work. The 2D piece is almost finished - well... over half completed - the hard parts are done anyway. That one comes up in April so it's right on schedule. Once those are done it's back to the elf...

I still have a cough, but the plague for all intents and purposes is gone - just down to a 'cold' at this point.
