The day wound up being good but I didn't earn much money, I can still try to get a few coins in but, I did finish all except the final layer of the wood and then now I am working on the fur which is a challenge because I have only ever painted it, I feel like this is the hair thing all over again but as always, I will figure it out.  I think this part is the hardest bit of doing any type of art, trusting the process. You have to trust that layer 2 will feed into layer 8 and enhance the finished peice, when layer 2 looks like and 8 year old gone wild with art material. Maybe I should use a lighter pencil to put my little worrisome heart at rest.  I also made a scented candle and I botched it but that goes without saying since I did not bother with following the pouring temperature instructions, it pitted badly, but who cares, it made me so so happy. I also did my laundry and found my highschool mp3 player. I listened to a lot of Beyonce, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Riri, Sean Kingsto...

 Hevoi I am a little overwhelmed right now, honestly my health is my main problem, I get flare-ups when the seasons change and it's manageable but bad right now. I made a portable work desk that I can fit a blanket over and under because I am sensitive to the cold, it can be a trigger so staying warm all winter and still working is the goal. I realise I also need a small rug for it. I am thinking of eventually making some nice quilts for the desk to match with my clothes. Yes I know I have issues, so what if I am a little extra, I only live once. So this week I am not supposed to draw, I am working the money job because I need to finance this my seasonal hobby-esq job in the fine art that I never went to school for. If I ever get the chance, I would love to study art history or even fine art, art history because I love studying history and art because doodling makes me happy.  The idea is to make 6 more drawings before I leave, I am on the first one. I want to hit the ground r...

 Hevoi I'm Miss Clesby or Miss Cles and I love to create beautiful things. I am part Karanga and part Chewa because colonialism happened, and my great-grandfather followed the railway line down to Zimbabwe in search of greener pastures during the Federation, then he met a girl, from the fiesty totem and settled here. On the other side, the man was a military man, the general in his king's army, and he married from a healer's lineage. Then the children married a notable farmer and a brewer. So I think I got the best of their traits, the optimism, cyncism, the work ethic, the sheer daring and the talents aplenty.  It's been 12 years and 16 days since I started this journey because I thought I was dying at the ripe old age of 23, hahaha. If I am being honest, had I not had those two massive health scares, I never would have done this, I always coloured inside the lines now I ignore those lines completely unless it suits me. I probably would have settled for someone safe, w...
