lack of axrivity

General
I realize I haven't tried to push commissions for awhile and kinda dropped off doing stuff for my shop, I realize I should work on getting it looking better and taking care of new pictures of everything before I try to smother everyone with an awful attempt to promote it.
Part of the reason I haven't been good with either of those things is because of working longer days at the fabric store, being exhausted from that, plus I got to be sick for almost all of last week which also really didn't help with my energy levels.
But now that things are probably going to be quieter for the next several months (hopefully), I really am going to focus on getting my shop set up better. I'm going to
- finish the caiman skull doll
- probably do a couple of the tiny ones like the fox I posted
- finally do new pictures of the jewelry
- do some dragons finally too
Speaking of the dragons, I realized that even though I really hate sculpting hands and feet, I have a lot more fun with working with sculpted doll parts rather than trying to cast them, I love being able to get them done, looking great and getting them ready for being painted
rather than getting the molds ready, waiting for the resin to cure, cutting off the stuff from the spout, filling bubbles, sanding, cutting seams and then getting it ready to paint. It's much more fun to just sculpt, so I think I'll just do casts for hands and feet from now on and just sculpt each head as I want and like.
Then I can do both things and have it be easier on myself. I just have to figure out sculpts for hands and feet that I like enough to use for several things.
