That’s a very frequent thing to have to do, during the painting process and after as well. It’s one of the reasons why I ended up having many unfinished paintings. That and my overactive-imagination driven shortened attention span. So, the good news is that “Moonlit Magic” is complete. I’m giving it about a week before adding a layer of varnish. Since next week is a national holiday, I intend to take some of the extra time off in order to do a photograph session and update the site more.

Meanwhile, I keep having the urge to do a little sewing project. At first, I thought “Hey, I have some extra black velvet and purple crushed velvet, I can make myself a dress!” but I’d never have the occasion to wear it so then I thought “A black and purple bunny would be cute.” but the more I considered it the more I thought “Actually, a black a purple dragon plush would be amazing!”

I have a sewing machine that I bought years ago and used all of twice. It’s just been sitting on a shelf in the back of my closet, in its box, just gathering dust. The problem is I don’t have a pattern to use; I’d be making this completely from scratch and I’m not sure how to start. Certainly, don’t want to waste the good fabric I have, and I wouldn’t want it to be lopsided. Do I use thread or buttons to make the eyes? Too many questions but I know I wont be able to let this go so I’ll figure it out and maybe one day there will be a picture of it randomly on the website. Just “BOOM!”, velvet dragon.

Not much really to say beyond that. Life continues to move along at its own pace.
