Update

Hello all,
Thank you for taking your time to check in with me. I will try to keep this brief but I am exposing a more vulnerable side to me. I had debated on and off 2 weeks ago if I should do this update or not. I felt that it's only polite to let folks know what's going on so that they can understand why things on my art side moves so slowly.
I have been silent on FA and other social platforms and for that I apologize. Several irl factors has been dragging at me both physically and mentally and it has been difficult.
I feel that my right hand doesn't want to ever get better and that fear really bogs my mind. Health wise, my tonsils were swollen for almost the entire week. I wasn't able to speak above a whisper and it hurt to swallow anything. I'm amazed at the power of prescription meds though - my husband who does have insurance had some leftover meds from when he had throat problems. Making remarkable progress - Am able to get out of bed and do things without feeling extremely tired.
My mum has had several high stress incidences occur around the same time period, and it has been a journey of epic proportions trying to help her out and cope with the fallout of dealing with an Asian mum who is stressed.
I don't want to use the "d" word lightly but at a certain point I have to admit it: Everything has been weighing me down and I have been spiraling in and out of depression for the last month or so. Not being able to do art is rather devastating as it was a huge mood elevator for me.
That said, I don't go down without a fight - I had spoken with 2 manufacturers to see what it would take to have enamel pins made. I have mentioned it often on twitter but realized I hadn't spoken about it much on FA. The price tag is pretty staggering but I will definitely save up the money to make it happen. Once I come up with and ink 2 designs I'll run a poll to pick out the winner for the first pin. Once I am able to sell enough to cover the cost of the 1st pin I'll put in the order for another pin design.
I feel awful for my silence and for that I apologize. I don't have much to show you guys but if you have any questions, personal, funny, quirky, curiousity etc etc, please feel free to comment - I will do my best to reply :) I may be slow as after typing this out my hand needs a good rest.
I adore you guys and am very grateful to see see comments and favs :) They cheer up my day when I see it and I am very thankful to you guys.
Loves and kisses,
Sora
