First Art Doll

I finished my first OOAK art doll! She is not perfect and I am realising FIMO Air is probably not the best medium. I struggled with gravity and with putting clothes on her. But it was a great learning process. I am quite happy she is finished as she has been one of the more time consuming art projects I have worked on between sculpting her, painting her, adding her hair,  and sewing her clothes. So without further ado, here she is, posing in the local woods.

Healing Time

I have not been well for the last few...I would like to say days but weeks or even months would probably be more honest. Ever since co-hosting a disappointing Halloween party I have been in a downwards spiral that has really started getting to me in the last few weeks. It's silly, life is good and I have much to be grateful for. But my mind drifts towards the negative side of almost anything and everything. I find reasons not to do something in the blink of an eye.
Right now the core of my concern is to do with a job and because I know what the Internet is like I will say nothing more on this.
Today started out poorly as usual but it got slightly better. What really gets me in a funk is not knowing where I stand and being too proud to figure it out. Today I decided to try out a bellydance class, booked an osteopathy and reiki treatment (the latter fascinated me and if the treatment is amazing, I would like to do a Reiki 1 Course) and accepted that doing Krav Maga right now is not the best idea for me. So I made some decisions which is never easy for me but it feels great when it's done.
Also, my diet was vegetarian today and I just realised that makes for another succesful meat-free Monday!
Creatively I did a lot of work on the OOAK Art Doll I am making, the first of what will hopefully be many. I also ordered some fabric to make a skirt so hopefully my overlocker will finally see some use and I look forward to putting some creations up here.
Today has made me aware that the biggest problem with my moods is the lack of motivation that comes with it. Once I am doing something, keeping busy, I start feeling better immediately.

Something to remember...
