Progress!

It had been a while since I have had a chance to work with Make-A-Wish New Zealand so I was so happy to have had the chance recently ๐Ÿ™‚ And the first chance I have had to make snowflakes and share my sparkly icy jewels ๐Ÿ™‚
But it was also a chance to speak with a lovely lovely little girl, to listen to her and what she loves, so I am also inspired. I am now working on my Spring version of the gown, just got my materials today ๐Ÿ™‚ So yes, a fair amount of CAD in my near future for applique and 3D effects ๐Ÿ™‚
(Also I am restocking my jewels so I can share more ๐Ÿ™‚

Soย yes, today was spent getting 10m of Heat n Bond, 3m of pink sparkly tulle (that still needs to be dyed darker) 3m of sparkly green tulle (ditto.) This is on top of the yardage of tulle for the base, and the dye for it all.

Lucky there was a sale, but it’s still a big investment, just assume an average price of $10m. And you can see why it takes a while to collect materials let alone work with them ๐Ÿ™‚ And why my gowns are irreplaceable. ๐Ÿ™‚

Now I am back to working in Sketchup.

In my last post I mentioned, almost offhand, I make while I can still make.

I’m having this tested somewhat as the fatigue that has dogged me for so long returns after a short few weeks.

I am sort of okay with this. I know what to expect, I know I can pace things out, to make sure I have a little something for each day, but it’s obviously an unavoidable halt and that is a challenge in many ways. Not least of all the feeling and dread of the most likely what ifs.

What ifs are difficult, but when you already have experienced so little support while trying to continue through them is very difficult. I don’t need someone to talk to, I’ll need someone toย do things for me. I’ll also have to just sleep. For a few days at a time. I don’t mean nap, I mean sleep for 48 hours or so. Not watching tv, not playing games, not resting. Sleeping.

I’m a bit like my camera. The battery says there is 25% left, which should be enough to get through the day. But my camera turns off at this point, I’m still not sure why- maybe the process of writing files could be interrupted and corrupt the card?ย Whatever it is, it just stops.ย I am at that point now. I suspect if I try to stick out the day I’ll do damage but I keep thinking I have enough energy.

I did start to make horns in Sketchup. I am a whizz at some elements and not at others (mainly getting things to work in different planes) but I think I can genuinely get this and sculptris to do what I need ๐Ÿ™‚
