The beginning of the end; of the beginning of the

      Although animation is what I’m usually working with, another thing that I used to do quite often was build puppets! Usually either built with paper mache or foam, they would often be quite large. I stopped doing that years ago, still making a few sculptures with paper and cardboard for fun, but I ended up moving on from the hobby and replacing it with newer interests.. those interests being stone carving, wood carving, and making pottery. I try getting away from creating art but it always ends up driving me deeper into it, so I’ve just given up and now I do whatever I feel like doing… (*´▽`*)

      So! I plan to start working on puppets again, at least temporarily, because I just wish to practice my sewing and get more experience using the machine. My friends think it’s stupid, I mean, I have all this skill and experience with all these types of art, yet now I am choosing to go back to creating puppets. Where is the audience for that? Am I going to gain anything from creating them? Probably not- but the amount of materials put into building them is pretty fun to work with. It’s also one of the only types of art that’s actually able to temporarily distract me from my ever-running thoughts, as other types, like animation, allow me to have more time to think about things that I shouldn’t be thinking about at all.. things that have nothing to do with my art! Moral of the story, my mind is constantly in complete disarray so I try my best to keep it together, n since quitting art didn’t work- the next best option is to create more art, Right? Right?? (◎_◎;)

      Aaaaannyway! I’m pretty excited to start working on these puppets I’ve planned on making! I have a feeling they’ll be preeeetty cool.. I do need to manage my time though.. for someone who never wanted to be an artist I sure have a lot of work I gotta get done for others.. and I also have personal art projects I need to work on.. you know what! I’m feeling trapped! After all of this is finished I QUIT! I’ll need to buy a new kiln.. perhaps some more tools.. a new easel.. yeahhh… real good plan!
