So I finished the little fairy painting you all saw a preview of last week. And it came out pretty dang decent! I’m ready for my solos show! LOL! That is not going to happen. Not unless I become a famous author and then it becomes irony? Or, at the very least an oddity.
I managed not to fuck up anything important! The red berries and the red buttons are gouache. That’s not super important, it was just a nice alternative to transparent watercolor. I need to put some time into actual gouache practice which I haven’t done for fear of wasting my gouache. OK, that’s not 100% true. I finished 90% of a gouache painting, posted it on Discord and you all will never see it. It wasn’t great, but it did give me a bit more of a feel for the medium and I like the blendability but I need to work on how much water I put in gouache. It don’t get very far does it? It’s so thick. So I tend to thin it down too much, which makes it reactivate the gouache below whatever I’m trying to paint over.
ANYWAY. No doll sales. My ShouShou Coco Kitty arrived! She has a bunny tail part because…. no idea. Came with cat ears and a bunny tail… The ShouShou tan is a very nice color. I’m thinking of selling my Soom Teschan :( He’s super cute but he just sits there collecting dust. I feel bad I have spent so much money on dolls! I loved them at the time though! Or I wouldn’t have bought them, but I guess my tastes have changed and I need to be OK with that. But nothing I’m trying to sell on Den of Angels has sold, or even gotten interest. I have lowered the prices too and still nothing. And I have no money coming in, and nothing on the horizon.
And to top it off my latest charger for the Dell is also going kaput I am convinced the charging port needs to be replaced but the repair shop last time was all, no its fine. But this is the THIRD FUCKING CHARGER I’ve had and I hate this fucking Dell and I am stuck with it!
In writing news: I’m writing! I started on my Wanderhome novel. It’s not amazing. Not yet. But I am writing again and I have a book going and it’s strange and a little hard but I have to try to relax. I’m not even sure it’s what I thought it would be but t it what it is. It’s also only 6 handwritten pages long so far…. so…. yeah…..
