BLOG 091905
Okay. Been too long. Lots to catch up. Sort of. *smile* I was going to separate all the blogs I've written and not
posted up til now but chose, instead, to just write a really long one. *grin*
Yesterday I strained my ankle and then not less than three minutes later I stumbled, mistepping with the other
foot and jarred my hip and back. What is it with me and Hobb's Grove?! Every year I do *something* to injure myself! And I'm really not a clumsy person. I can't afford to be, having all the problems that I do.
At home I am not this clumsy. *shakes head* *sighs heavily*
I know. It's because I'm getting old. Right? Somewhere, some demon wants to hear me mutter, "I've fallen and
I can't get up." *grin*
In any case, I've been working my butt off (not literally) at Hobb's Grove. I've got some photos to share!

Here's the beginning of my boneless chicken coup. *giggle* I've got to bloody the eggs and put up the sign
that goes with it. Actually, I bloodied the eggs yesterday morning, but forgot to take pictures! Will do so at my earliest convenience! |

Here are my dolls so far. I've got three. Lenore
- being inspired by a comic that I think is morbidly wonderful.
Temple - yes, short for Shirley Temple. Her face will eventually (hopefully) be like a china doll. Cool, no? And Dot. Gee, I'm guessing you can tell where she's taken from - ruby slippers and all. *grin* I've got two more to go. |

Here's the taxidermy
room. I'm rather proud of my splat faces. Blood and all. Just click the photo-image to go to
the next one and then it'll take you back to the beginning I think. :) The story behind the taxidermy room is that the rather inbred fellow that lives there decided he wanted to try it and he will often just fling stripped faces at the wall to "splat" there and hang until he wants them for something. Gross. Rather horrid, too. |

Also, for the next several days, I've got two raw mask blows up for sale on Furbid. I know folks are going to
probably see the $200 price I have up as excessive. *shakes head* Most don't understand what actually goes into a mask like that and how much we normally charge. (Usually around $1500 to start, these days.) In any case, it's an equine and a fox. They're completely raw and unfinished blows, but would make great hallowe'en costume projects for someone.

Starting Friday I'll be posting the on-line comic Dreamwalk Journal in the afternoon of the night before twice a
week until Hobb's Grove is early. Otherwise I'll be posting it reeeeeallly late of the day it's supposed to go up. I'd rather be early than late. |

Let's talk about hands. I love hands. I love looking at them. Drawing them. People express themselves unconciously
with their hands. I once took the proper courses to be a manicurist. Learned all that cosmetology stuff. Even was a manicurist for a short time, but that's another story. (In the Southern Cal area, being a high end manicurist is intense competition.) In any case, I love long nails, too. If they're not excessive and done right and maintained, that is. And doing the special painting on them was always a lot of fun. But they are definitely a lot of up keep, whether they're your own or acrylic. I'm mentioning all of this is because?...
...I snapped a nail off the other day.
I couldn't just break it. Split it. Something painful but easily remedied. Oh nooooo. It snapped clean off. Below the
quick.
Ow. (Yes, I'm weird. I had to take a picture. I couldn't believe it snapped that completely.)
I sat there looking at it saying, "Oh that's really going to hurt in a few minutes." In actuality it took almost a half an
hour to begin hurting.
A lot.
Again, ah say ow.
Oh, here's two more miscellaneous images from Hobbs. One is Pookie. You may remember
Pookie from a few years
back. The other is the Wiggling Woman. She wiggles like she's posessed.
It's doing muuuch better as long as I don't bump my finger tip into anything. Typing was a new experience in agony
for a few day, that's for sure. *grin*
Is anyone here involved in MySpace.com? Is it any good for journaling? A friend invited me to join and it looks kind
of, well, I'll keep my opinions to myself for the moment. ;) I may have just looked at the wrong people for now, though. I'll need to sit down and just peruse and see what's there--though April Winchell is a crack up. |
