I took a two week break at the first of the year. We had some snowy weather and it was a nice time to cuddle up with a soft snuggly blanket and a good book. Now that my little vacation is over, I am back in the studio and back to working on my project. I will be back to blogging on the doll experiment in my next blog post.
I usually begin the year with a list of projects that I hope to accomplish this year. I have one project that I expect will take up a considerable amount of time in the coming year. I plan to make a doll that is a Flaminco dancer. It will be a larger doll, and I expect it be very detailed. I plan to use some different materials for the skeleton and musculature. It should be interesting.
A plan for a new walking stick is also in the works. This stick may be more art than a useful hiking stick. I want to try out some carving techniques on it. I am not sure that removing a lot of material will leave it sturdy enough to be useful. So rather than a walking stick, it may just be art on a stick.
I also plan to refurbish by fading Jupiter sphere. It needs a facelift. The sun has faded the acrylic paints. It may turn out to be covered by a different medium than paint. I also have another hypertufa ball that was cast some time ago and has been waiting for me to get back to it.
I am also working on a new quilt. It will be a large quilt. I will be blogging on that from time to time throughout the quilts construction.
Although I have only listed a few projects, I expect them to take months to complete. If I have more time, I will of course add more projects to the cue. I always have more projects than time.
Now that I have moved past the post-holiday doldrums, I am excited about getting back to the studio. Check back on Sunday for the latest on the Doll Experiment. I have made quite a lot of progress on that.
