NEEDLE FELTING IS TITS MCGEE
Hello friends and new watchers! I hope everyone had a good Spring-Holiday-Season (since so many holidays happened all at once!) and got to spend time with their friends and family :3
I have some exciting news to share!
While it happened much sooner than I expected, I'm happy to say that I got a promotion at work and I'm now part of the management! I'm thrilled that my hard work over the past 8 months has been recognized, and I'm even more excited to help keep my store running in excellent condition. I still have a little bit of training to do, but I feel confident that this is going to be a great step for me. The dust still has to settle before I get a set schedule, but at most it's going to take three weeks and after 4 months of a crazy work-schedule three weeks seems like a cakewalk ;)
Today is also my very last day modeling for the foreseeable future. Managing full-time at my retail job means I no longer have the time, or financial need, to model part-time at various art schools. I'm going to miss meeting the latest generation of artists to work in my area, I'm especially going to miss the "free art lessons" I get by listening to the lectures, but three years of modeling was longer than I had ever planned and better than I could have hoped for, so it all feels complete.
What does this mean for you guys, my friends and watchers?
Well, with my previous work-schedule I never had any scheduled days off (for the past four months, yikes!) which means I had to push my art to the side and really only work on it during breaks. Now that I have one steady, full-time job that means I actually get scheduled days off during the week. Consistently! This means that I will finally be able to make my art my part-time job and give it the time and dedication it deserves. I'll have whole days to dedicate to making and documenting my art, and updating all my various galleries.
While I'm waiting to start any new doll-projects until after Max and I move (to make packing easier, because let's just say calling my artistic-process "messy" is like calling the Atlantic Ocean "slightly moist") I have a couple projects I'll finally be able to finish up and a few small experiments I'll be able to do to get used to some new equipment (namely an airbrush my parents got me that's been staring at me from a corner in my studio, just daring me to brave the cold and take it outside for a spin.) If you follow me on Tumblr you can see that I've still been practicing digital work and keeping up with my sketches, so I'm not too worried about "getting rusty" ;)
tldr; promotion WOO! Permanent set-schedule starts in a few weeks, then nothing can stop THE ART!!!!
