Give Me Something Good To Eat and Snail Pace

Working, working, working....lalala--lala-la-la. Below is a peek at one of the upcoming pieces for the month of April. I was going to ship the piece below, "Give Me Something Good To Eat" to Pennsylvania for the Halloween Convention (see post below), and realized if I did and it sold I wouldn't have enough work for the SpookyTime Jingles' April offerings. YIKES!!



How are the rest of you doing it? I am working everyday (including weekends) and in the evenings, I'm spending fewer hours on the computer (I owe so many of you comments that I apologize...again), and I still am not getting ahead. Am I just that slow at putting these little things together or what? Suggestions or recommendations are appreciated!

Hmmm, do you suppose I should quit using that 20/0 brush a little bit less?!!!? HA!

Have a great day and happy creating!

    This little fellow is (as always) fantastic! I knew from the lack of posts that you must be working your tail off! I'm glad you're having fun (you are, right?). Don't work to hard!

    Superb! I am amazed at how precise your work is. I bet you are wearing the hairs out of those teensy weensy brushes.
    I feel the same way you do...working days, nights, off and on during the weekends....juggling computer stuff, blogging, promoting....and i feel like i never get enough done and can't let up. Shoowee, the curse and blessing of being an artist!

    I am just glad i can take breaks to check my blogger dashboard and take peeks at what other artists are up to. It makes me feel connected.

    Happy Spooky Tuesday to you,
    Carrie

    Laurie - no one on the planet gets more done that you do! And I just packed off all my stuff to Philly and am staring at...NOTHING. So I guess I'll be a busy bee, too. I hope you're not getting blisters on your fingers!!!

    Oh gosh, I know I'm not alone, but I am amazed with the amount of work so many of you get done monthly and I am really starting to panic about how much I can get done and save by September,... plus I have my commission list to get done too, which I worry about losing if I don't keep at them. I just foolishly took on too much with April deadlines and at my age I should know better.

    I had a pretty productive day today and I am close to finishing a witch (hooray, a female figure), and a new skelly. "Count Vacula" got a splash of paint on today too...only his teeth look buckey-beaver-like so I may have work to do on him.

    Thank you all so much for stopping by and pumping me up!! It is such good energy.

    I have all day to work tomorrow with only one little errand so I am pumped!!!

    He is too cute...actually his smile and eyes look like my Dad LOL, which is why I laughed when I first saw him..

    with me, the minute I find myself getting overwhelmed and behind, I take a day or so to just do nothing..gives me a day to re-coup, refresh, energize. My husband asked me why I get so flustered and overwhelmed with it, when it should be enjoyable for me, not a pain lol..

    anyhow, he's gorgeous, as is EVERYTHING you make ..
