What is Kena up to in March?

Hello it is I, the frenchiest fry.
So an update on what I'm doing...
Currently unemployed, looking for a government job for stability and long term career stuff. I've really been working on figuring out what best suits me, career wise. I had a panic attack after I started this one job as an executive assistant, and I'm learning how to accept myself as I am, and not feel the need to push past what I am comfortable with. There are some things that don't serve me, and so I am looking for what does benefit my mental health. I don't want to feel horrible at a job, I need to do more than survive each day.
As for art, I am taking these past few weeks of unemployment to really work on commissions. I'm making busts of characters and I want to really promote that. I vendored at PawCon in 2019 and I loved it, and my pottery was well received. I want to continue selling at conventions and getting my work out there. If I could be a full time artist I would be SOOOO happy!
I have also bought some monster clay and a bust, so I can make a Kena mask 2.0 (more like 3.0). My goal with this is to learn how to make molds so I can make resin masks. And I'm not talking about fursuit head bases, I'm talking close fitting masks. I want to make more realistic options for costumes because I want that for myself. I love how there's so much for toony fursuits, and I feel like that is far more developed than realism. We will see how it goes. I still dream of teaming up with another artist to make stuff together, or being part of a furry company.
So for now I'll continue looking for a job, making pottery, and learning how to make masks. <3
