My WIPs

In general, I usually keep quiet not because I have nothing to say, or I can’t think of anything. On the contrary, I have a lot of thoughts in my head. But it’s hard for me to write, and even more so to write in a way that would be easy to translate. I often don’t post something new, because I hope that I will have enough strength to write about it in more detail. I need to learn how to make short visual messages. But this really scares me:)

In addition to different types of clay, I ordered watercolor, I want to try combining it with wood clay and driftwood. For example, I want to paint this Toothless on a snag with watercolor. In my imagination, these should be soft neutral colors, softened by the color of the wood itself. Let's see what happens in practice.

I'm making a large shelf for myself, so most likely it will be something based on skibidi or xenomorphs, or both. Big shelves are not bought, but they are much more interesting to make.

I'm interested in trying to sculpt with new materials. It feels completely different than with my usual velvet clay. I also want to try Monster Clay, but it's terribly expensive. Okay, if there are more donations for materials, I'll still buy it.

I like making shelves and magnets now. I can't bring myself to paint figurines. I can make something completely new, like driftwood. So here's a slightly naive question. Would you be willing to buy magnets like these? Not on the Skibidi theme, but in general. And at what price? For me, $25-30 would be optimal for one item, and $15 if you buy it with something else.

Another problem is that because of frequent problems with payments, my motivation drops and my hands drop. And there's nothing I can do about it. Sometimes it works without problems, but every time my insides clench. Sales used to bring pleasure, now they're more like anxiety. As if, in order to get a candy, I must first get an electric shock with some probability.

And yet I do something in order not to become discouraged.

Another thing I’ve been working on for a week now is a scheme for creating a camera out of cardboard. I have a beautiful idea for a large and complex work, but I need to make the basis for it. I generally like to invent something, try something new. I just don’t always have the time and opportunity.

For now it looks very strange, I know:) And everything falls apart. But when I take real thick cardboard and a glue gun, everything will be ok.

The story with cameras is a bit funny and sad. Eva and I had a lot of anxiety about surveillance cameras and trips to the big city. No, we are not criminals, of course, it is just disgusting to encounter our state even indirectly. After we became fans of Skibidi, a trip to the city, on the contrary, turned into a nice game. "Look, this one looks like a camerawoman. And these are not ours at all, not interesting. And this one is exactly the same, oh, hello!" Living without anxiety is much more enjoyable.
