And we are stupid.

Beginnign to watch the series 24 at 11 was apparently a bad idea. It's addicting, in this sick sort of way, in ways that TV was never supposed to be addicting. And, of course, we have all of it here at the house of inordinate stupid. And it spawned a Very Bad Idea. Namely, watching the whole series, at once, and it appears we are about to do this very stupid thing, undercaffeinated, but well fed. Yes, stupid indeed. I don't have to be anywhere, and we do have a nice couch for lying in, and this is intensely dumb. Ok, so not really, I've done stupider things than this, but not recently, and not involving a television. Hey! We have chocolate! And now I want to find something *really* dumb to do.... Something terribly and elaborately and monumantally stupid. Something so gloriously and delightfully stupid that either everyone remembers it, no one ever find out about it and we forget it from some effect of the Stupid, or it's so insane that no one ever believes it happened. Including us.

Ben says that we are no longer allowed to make jokes that affect reality, because every time we joke about doing something, we do it. Personally I don't see a problem with this. But then, I'm also not that bright. Especially not when it begings to get late and I've been up for a while....

So I just finished making the pieces for a new doll, this one white sculpey. She looks like a Modigliani elf, with that long, serpentine neck, and oddly shaped face. She;s very small, but I like her. She might very well make a good cast as well, which would be nice. I haven't made any people in ages, just sketches, and it's kinda neat to see what happens after taking a semester of lifedrawing, knowing better now how the body fits together.So while she is still abstracted, it looks so much better this time. I know what I changed in her proportions, and I know why I did it. She looks odd, not like a person at all, with hands like calla lilies, and feet stretched and without details. (my real reason for doing that is that I hate doing hands. The fingers never looks right, and they break and chip, and just never bend where they should. So I think I"m going to stop doing them, and just make girls with flower-hands.)So my goals for the flower-girl are more or less as follows:
paint and seal
make a cast, preferably not in plaster. It never works right for me.
body
wig and costume

More than likely I'll be posting photos of her at some point. And perhaps in a while I'll start trying to sell them around the hippie-ish stores and occulty-bits places. And some very small fairies as well. because I like making them, and it's more fun than going to a real job. Yes, this is what I shall do, this is how I shall support myself....
