I've received more comments and visits over my recent jewelry making endeavors than I have...I think EVER...since starting here at devart. I find that a little funny, but I'm enjoying it. At the moment my production has been cut down to NIL thanks to, well, not being home ever. But with my new work schedule, I plan to come home a lot. I'm really tired of the late nights. I love my little room (well, sort of), and I plan to spend a LOT more time in it.

I have two or three memory wire bracelets in my head plus a couple of other things(a black and white dangle, for instance), and I just need to have time to make them. That and my bead looming. I'd like to practice enough to gain some reasonable efficiency with that. Not to mention a purple edition of my dragonfly...preferably with neater wire work...a couple of hand flowers and barefoot sandals...soon. I hope!

Thanks to everyone who has commented and made favorites of my jewelry work.

I haven't updated my work in quite some time. Truth be told, I haven't done much new work. As I look through my own personal archives, I find that everything I might add to my devart account is, in fact, of old work. I want very much to make something new, and yet.... Nothing comes to me. Or rather, the ideas that I have right now are too complex for me accomplish where I am at the moment (that is to say, not at my own apartment amidst my art materials).

I'd like to have a bigger selection of completed illustrations for my portfolio. So much of my work is half-done or was never intended to go further than sketching or semi-painting studies. And yet I NEED a larger body of work. It's imperative that I force myself to do this thing.

And so I hope, at the least, to get out some pencil studies of the projects I want to do as well as finishing a couple of digital illustrations that have been sitting lonely on my computer for about 6 months now. Hopefully, within another month, I will be able to update this account.

Yay! I've made 1300 pageviews. Not much compared to most people on my watch list, but it doesn't matter. It's a whole number! Two whole zeros behind that 13.

I've got zero ideas in my head at the moment (actually, no...I have three or four ideas in my head...alas, no one I know will model for me, so I have no choice but to refrain from attempting those drawings). I need some kind of assignment. I don't suppose anyone out there has anything that could be tossed my way, hm? Simple character sketches would make me happy enough. Anything, really. Oh...well, no cars. XD

Everyone needs to look at Silent Heart by wanjuro here on DevArt. It's one of my favorite pieces ever. I think it's the subject and the softness and subtle emotion in it.
