Well, I’ve still got a few of the fennecs left over from my first kickstarter for sale, if you want to drop me a line!

And since I promised, I should put up a few more pics. Let’s see if I can get the embedded images thing to work…

Aha! So this is the second doll I set out to make, after doing the fennecs. Here’s a test cast of it:

And here’s how the test cast looked painted:

I’m expecting the finished ones back from the caster in about two weeks, so I’ll have some updates then.

Thanks you guys! I see some familiar faces are still hanging around. (Or familiar nicknames, whatever!)

And Thanks Drag0nfeathers, I’ve been really trying to improve my stuff, so it’s nice to know it’s worked!

[SPark]

Aww, thanks very much! I’m headed off to bed now, but I’ll put up some more pics tomorrow.

I just posted to the art forum with a few pics of my recent project. (Well, links to pics. I am not up to fumbling my way through properly getting them to display here right now, I’m too used to normal BBcode!)

And the Copper Patina came out with 2 different eye colors (red and metallic teal), I don’t know if that matters to you?

Well, it’s good to know, but I can’t see myself buying one for just the eye color. I have the teal. 🙂

Busy! 😀 Mostly pretty good, though. Busy pays the bills at least.

[SPark]

Aha! I knew there was at least one I was forgetting. Thanks!

Butternut poad has found a home, and I have a copper patina fledgling now. (And can we not edit posts her anymore? I swear that used to be possible, but I can’t find where to do it if it is.)

Still have the black peacock one, if anybody’s interested. 🙂 Will probably ebay it if I don’t find a trade here.

[SPark]

Oh, I have found the black peacock poad’s card too, so they both have everything they came with. 🙂

[SPark]

🙁 No interest in it so far. Ah well. I think everybody else is broke right now too.

As somebody with mother issues myself, I wouldn’t say you need to cut her out of your life entirely. But as long as she’s not being supportive do whatever you *can* do to minimize your contact with her.

And you might consider, if you haven’t already, sitting down and coming up with some long-term ideas to get out on your own, so you can have more control over the negative stuff in your life. I know there are probably some pretty big obstacles in the way or you’d be doing it already, but finding some way, any way, to work on some of those obstacles can at least make you feel like you’re getting somewhere.

I struggle with depression as well, and I’ll say that a lot of days I end up setting myself the tiniest possible goals. “Just get out of bed and do *something* today, anything at all” is as far as it gets sometimes, other times I manage to get some real work done. But you gotta always try to move forward with your life, even if it’s crawling by inches when it seems like everybody else is running. Just having looked at the paper to see if there’s a job you might thing about applying to within walking distance, for example… probably won’t accomplish much, but at least you’ve done something.

My $.02, feel free to ignore if you don’t like it. 🙂

Well, I’ve had some expenses come up, so I decided to go ahead and sell it. 🙂 I listed it on that site. Hopefully that’ll work out.

Thanks.

I got interested in resins because of people here, so I hope somebody can give me some advice.

I have a resin horse. This one: http://candaceliddy.homestead.com/mulan.html

I believe I actually paid slightly more than $175 for it because I bought the last one. I got it to paint, but actually painting it has proved so intimidating (and I’m so perpetually busy) that I’ve never done more than put a base coat on. It’s sat here, with just a base coat, for well over two years. I think more like three.

Anyhow… the opinions thing is I can’t decide if I should sell it or keep it. And if I keep it, should I try to come up with money I really don’t have right now to get it properly painted, or should I just call it quits and leave it undone? I don’t know how much a paint job costs, but I suspect we’re not talking ten bucks here. I don’t even know where to begin to look for somebody who does that, other than here.

Or if I sell it, how the heck to do so? I bought it straight from the artist. I’ve looked at ebay, but I don’t see jack diddly there for this kind of thing, which makes me think the collectors that might want it may not find it there. I know there are places specifically for selling resin horses, but I don’t know where to find them, or which ones are good. The one I did find looked kind of intimidating, lots of rules, lots of jargon. I felt like a total noob.

So any advice or thoughts or whatever that anybody can give me would be great.
