Day One Hundred Twenty-Four

I have been working on a bunch of things today...a little more on some, less on others...but busy all day and evening...yay.

In no particular order (because I kept coming back to things) I worked on:  the really long horns guy, Biteyou (the original), the 2snake, and -- even though I told myself I was taking a day off from sewing -- the linen snake circles (no photo).

I added some light color to the 2snake so that I would be able to keep track of his back vs his belly when I start to work on him.

I decided that I wasn't happy with the finish of the really long horns guy after all...he needs more work, more spiffing up.

I always get more paint on me than on whatever I'm working on.

He had some areas that needed paper repair as well...and he is getting an overall look to (hopefully) pull him together.

Taking a giant step towards finishing up on the original Biteyou...this is really hard for me.

I need to keep a bunch of stuff going on at once right now.  I have a lot of ideas swimming around and I am jotting them down into my sketchbook but I also need to physically work on several things at once...I just need to.

Day One Hundred Twenty-Two

I liked the 2snake (I need to think of a better term for him) when he was a pencil sketch last night...but I really like him now that I painted around him.  I'm not sure about the background color(s) yet, but I have a very big tube of Liquitex phthalocyanine blue paint (and I like the color) so it is going down as a base.

Tonight I have been sewing with colorful embroidery floss, beginning to fill in all of those circles on the linen snake.  I want to try to use up some of the odd ends of floss (I have TWO stashes of it)  before I start using the numbered/orderly floss.

Floss ends stash #1.

Floss ends stash #2.

Starting at one end and working my way down.

This is enough for tonight!
