Sculpting challenge: Day 80!
Yesterday I was pretty much out of it by the time I got home from work because I had seriously had a bad night of sleep. Part of the problem was that the ferrets were having a merry old time in the cage goofing around doing who knows what, and they were apparently more ichy than normal. So that made it really hard for me to get to sleep in the first place.
So I wasn't really in any frame of mind to sculpt, but I figured I could at least make the eye molds. I made the molds out of some scrap clay and different sized beads. Unfortunetly I realized after I'd baked the molds that I actually didn't have the beads in the molds that I actually needed for the head sizes that I am currently sculpting. e_e So I have eye molds for future figures, but none for right now. Oh well. xP I think that I'm just going to roll eyes like I did for the animal figures, I think they turned out alright. I'm not sure I have beads in the proper size, and I don't really have the funds to go out and buy more just for that.
I also made an eye stand, for painting eyes on before putting them in the figures. That at least worked out. lol
I haven't taken any pictures of those things, partly because they're not terribly exciting and partly because the eye mold isn't even applicable to what I'm making right now. lol
So I have sort of made progress. lol I didn't sculpt tonight, I'm still kind of tired and out of it. Tomorrow I'll sculpt some more!
Other kitty news! This morning the kitty was being rather adorable. I woke up to him literally hugging my foot. I needed to move, so I gently removed my foot from his sleeping self. Once I'd adjusted, he quickly moved so he could glomp my leg and then he went to sleep again. I went to sleep again and woke up later with him hugging my other leg. It is so funny. xD
Also, on Monday we had another earthquake. Before I moved to Alaska I'd never lived anywhere that had frequent earthquakes. Not anymore! I feel them often at work or at home and I hardly even notice. A couple of weeks ago we had a smaller one and my coworker was arguing with a different coworker that it was actually someone running down the hall. Of course, it was an earthquake, but that's how used to them we are. I now get the scene in Independence Day where the girlfriend of Will Smith's character says to go back to bed because the earthquake isn't even a 4 pointer. On Monday though I totally felt the quake and nobody was going to argue that it was someone running down the hall! It was a 5.8 located about 30 miles from town. It felt really freaky! I was still at work when it happened, and Scottie was there because it was just about time to go home and he was going to pick me up. He was hanging out in the breakroom, and after stuff stopped shaking I went to go to him, and he was coming out of the breakroom to come see me. I was glad he was there!
He said that explained the way the cat was acting before he left. Normally the cat is like velcro to us, and he's not a tree cat so you'll normally find him hanging out close to the floor. He had decided to go up into our loft bed and was trying to get under the covers. This isn't remotely normal behavior for him. lol
Also, what's up with this new update page? It's so strange! O_O I might even like it, but I've been using the old update page for years now! This is weird.
