Hey all, looks like about time for another update. I hope everyone's doing great.
Personally I could be doing better a migraine having had been plaguing me for a while now. Back at the end of March I went to Duke for my annual check up and for the most part things came out great. When I went to my doc that helps me treat my migraines I was faced with some good news. Since it's been a while since he'd adjusted my meds he increased the doses on some preventatives and to my surprise. There seems to of been a lot more drugs that have come out since the last time we tried migraine drugs. So now I'm trying out a new migraine med. While it doesn't quite do what he said it should allowing me to work while it treats the migraine. It instead knocks me off my feet for 2 days but, that's a pretty fair trade off I think considering one of these can keep me bed ridden for a month.
I think April had a pretty nice start with a wonderful time at FWA.
I absolutely am loving my feetpaws I commissioned
LobitaWorks for. I'm also happy to say that thanks to the techniques I learned from 
Eddiebear 's panel has helped me get the bottoms clean after a accident had occurred. Now I have a nice cleaning kit to take with me when I go suiting.
I can't help but, wish that Mother Nature'd be a bit kinder to me. I can tell all too well that the allergens are in the air especially back in the woods where I love. Though it's still nice.
I've been struggling with getting work though unfortunately because of allergies and a migraine like I stated above. Unfortunately the new drug isn't dealing with them as well this time around. I'm trying hard to get back into the swing of things though it's feeling like a uphill battle right now.
Though I feel like next month is going to go well. In 12 days it will be my birthday May 8th Mothers Day. It's sure to be a good time. We're planning to go down to Myrtle Beach for our annual little celebration and eat at the Hard Rock Cafe and just have fun.
We're staying a a new motel this time though so I'm not sure what to expect. Though it seems like a nice place. It seems Mothers Day weekend has brought a lot of traffic to the area. I'm looking forward to celebrating what I'm sad to say will be my last birthday at the current Myrtle Beach Hard Rock Cafe location I'll just have to take pictures and make memories.
While we're down there we're also planning to go for a walkthrough of Coastal Carolina University. So far I've been pretty impressed by the school. Their theater program seems like a nice fit having one of the largest costume departments. The degree I'm looking at also being very well rounded. They apparently also have some great connections with the surrounding theaters. I've heard pretty nice things about it as well.
Though one thing in particular that impressed me about the school is when we called back in March the department head of the theater department volunteered to give us the tour if we'd come by in May. That's something I really didn't expect especially since when we called we didn't give any details. We were just calling about making a appointment for after the tour. So that's very cool. Hopefully despite the hiccup I had from migraines with my grades the last semester I was at GTCC won't reflect too badly on me after I explained what happened.
Hopefully I'll have Ernest done in time so I can have him to show off. He's getting closer to done I just need to get the new eyes cast and try to reset them and possibly the mouth. Then it'll be just sanding, minor defects and painting. Here's hoping that all goes smooth so I can show him off to them and my friend at Broadway Magic. I promised him I'd try to get it done in time to bring down this time.
Oh by the way guess who found Ernest a electric guitar! Yep while I was at goodwill I spotted one of those Rock Band guitars. I figure with a little cutting and sanding I'll have a nice little electric guitar for him. Hopefully when I shorten the middle up and possibly the neck a bit it'll look like a semi realistic electric guitar for Ernest the Opossum Marionette.
In other news Takeshi's new bodysuit is still in the works. I'm taking my time wanting to make sure it comes out great rather than rushing through it especially since it's my first bodysuit of any kind unless you count the lycra underbody suit I did for 0.0 version of Takeshi. I'm hoping to get it done in time for Myrtle that way I can get some nice pics of the entire costume together out on the beach.
While I was prepping for FWA I was also able to get a nice wing prototype together for Oracle and I also upcycled a nice jacket into a tailcoat for him. Though he's still got a ways to go and I don't think it'll be very soon before I can purchase the fur for the half suit I want to make for him.
I have quite a bit of art planned to be completed soon some pieces further along than others that I'll hopefully get finished and posted soon. I'll also have quite a few new badge examples up soon.
Thanks for those of you whom I owe art to who have been patient.
