Bead 728

Not a bad day, just out of my usual schedule which I think I really needed I got out of the house, got out of the workspace a good portion of the day and was able to get outside of my head for a few hours...that's been a really big problem lately but it's good to get a break every once in a while, I'm going to institute the "you gotta get the fuck out of the house at least 3 times a week and out of the workspace at least 2 hours a day, and 30 minutes of outside time a day...no exceptions!"
Just an earth colored bead, used some and went searching for some soil for one of my sculptures

Bead 727

Been attempting to work all day...most of the work actually happened within the last few hours  since a vast majority of the day I've been struggling with me either feeling absent or just frustrated that creativity didn't come naturally today
But it did eventually come, I'm almost done with a painting and I just had an idea for a show that I'm participating in....I have to drop the finished pieces off Thursday....so yeah I'm going to attempt t make a brand new from scratch sculpture and have it completed in 2 and a half days...
Tiny green bead today, I ended up using allot of green in all of my palettes today

Had a super manic day....
Sculpted another toy
Finished and framed a watercolor painting
Refined two sculptures and packed them to go to their shows
Got the one hanging wall piece actually able to be hung on the wall
Primed and started painting one of the skateboard decks that I've got for an upcoming show

Bead 720

Was super super super boring today
Painting and knitting in the early morning
The most of the rest of the day was occupied either cleaning, searching for things (& actually finding some including my copy of art and fear, an Indian cookbook, some jars, dome and a frame
And a beautiful rich purple tuft of llama that's what today's bead is made of

Bead 719

For some reason I want to make a hat...so I did I casted on a wool and bamboo mix a deep mossy color, really rich and it reminds me of old sweaters and butterflies/ moths..it's a pretty small skein so I hope that it'll last to make a full hat, I've had moths and butterflies on the brain and most likely will be doing quite afew artworks based on it

Bead 716

Spent the last six or so hours at an art/sorta craft booth
Fist in the heat and humidity of mid July....yeah..like really fucking hot to the point that it almost hurts to breath....to misty and rainy weather that ended up soaking the place...but I ended up having a pretty great time despite that. I finally got to actually go and get out of the house and interact with some amazingly creative, kindhearted and talented artist. Afterwards a buddy and I went out for Waffle House and Starbucks....
Artist.
Waffles.
Coffee.
Best day ever!
Today's bead is made from one scrap that I used to make the plush monsters I sell

Bead 714

Pretty  difficult day, it didn't start off that badly but unfortunately digressed as the day went on. I installed a new shelf and cubby and ended up cleaning up my room..is now emaculate in my opinion and I have tons of floor space now..it's kind of Weird but nice at the same time. After I cleaned I had a really bad fibro flare up super quickly.
Dark bead today using some of the yarn I dyed yesterday


Hope tomorrow is better, and I hope the difficulties I've been dealing with  will resolve themselves soon..

Today my mom and I had another yard sale  for art supply qnd spending money for the remainder of the summer since I don't get as  steady of pay I need, made about 97$ total and got allot of clutter out of the house and out of my mind, I'm trying to get out of this artistic rut I've been in for the past 2 weeks....working tomorrow so hopefully that will go swimmingly and kickstart the rest of me
