No Air Conditioning Today

This will be fast...we had a loud bang yesterday morning in the furnace room and discovered shortly after that we had no air conditioning. We got the fans out, called for help and found out there wasn't a control panel in town that would work on our system so we will be without AC again today and possibly tomorrow. I realized I got grumpy and didn't play nicely with others yesterday when I got hot....so I'm shutting off the computer for the day to remove it as a heat source.


On a more positive note, I completed the painting on this little owl yesterday after I took the photo, and I'm seeing some progress with the painting on a number of other pieces. Lots to do, but I'm in the mood to paint so I'm off to get some work done!

Have a great day and stay cool!

Works in Progress

Work continues on a group of figures destined for the Ghoultide Gathering show. I can't believe I'm down to about 40 days to get everything sculpted, painted, packed and ready to go. Time is flying!!!

I took a break from sculpting over the weekend and was able to put some base coats on a few figures and completed two heads. It doesn't seem like much when I look at the white paper mache still untouched by paint on most of the figures left on the shelves. I'd better get back to work!!!

Have a great week!
