Here we are almost in the middle of March and I've done all of 3 lousy posts...well ok 4 including this one!!..pfft!!..how pathetic can you get!!??
Oh hey - I could use every excuse under the sun - busy - things in life taking up more time, even throw into the mix the age old one - "Oh!..I'll do that tomorrow!!"
..but!..as we all know - tomorrow rocks around and again you say the same thing - then another day etc, etc, ETC!!.....and before you know it - another week has been and gone and you still haven't done that one thing you'd set out to do...
In a sense all of the above is actually true, I have been busy - life has had a way of jumping out in front of me saying "Hello!!...remember this!!??"...and almost every day I do say - "I must blog!"...and every day - I go through the same thing..."Hmmm - bit late now - I'll do it tomorrow!"..
So - here I am - full of a cold/hayfever and just feeling absolutely lousy...did try to go to bed - but *sigh* coughing the lungs up put paid to that one...not to mention the incredible pain in the throat when doing so!!..omg!!...where's something soothing when I need it!!??...
And yes - here in good old "Oz"...(Australia to anyone who is new to my slack blogging!!..lol) ..it's just gone 1.18am!!...early hours of Thursday morning, and since I've "re-activated" the brain cells from semi-sleep mode...it'll probably be even later again when I finally succumb to the "tireds" and go and collapse again into bed!! Oh and hey - I do suffer from insomnia as it is - so the latest fiasco ain't helping it!!..lol
But by jingo!!...how many of you can relate to what I've just written above??? That would be fascinating to find out just how many other "Artisans" suffer sleep deprivation because they either get way too wrapped up in what they are doing and forget what the time is - or they have all these ideas popping off all over the place and just have to get them out - either on paper or in an actual P.O.C. - which folks stands for "Proof Of Concept".
Anyway - one thing I was very good with - and did actually get it finished in reasonable time is the set in the photo above. Mind you this was also achieved amongst doing a massive accounting job for a client - which I'm still doing as *oohh damn!!*....I found a discrepancy larger than Mount Rushmore...and yes - even us "Aussies" know what Mount Rushmore is...we did watch "Ritchie Rich"...or whatever the name of the movie was that depicted it in a satirical way!!..lol
But - overall I'm pleased with the set...ok - loads of "swearing" happened on numerous occasions due to either...oh never mind!!..just know this wasn't the most conducive piece/pieces to behave themselves and do what I wanted them to ...so a heap of coercing was required!!...LOL
Oh!..and before I forget......those pieces are made from Sterling Silver, Fine Silver and 12ct Gold filled wire, Turquoise Howlite, Genuine turquoise, Lapis Lazuli and 3mm 12ct Gold filled beads. There is still some "cleaning up" to be done...ie - making sure there are no "jabby" bits and giving it a final polish...but!...it's done! YAY!! *big grin*
.....now to go get some sleep and tackle the "Dooms of Mount Rushmore aka One Huge headache of an accounting job" tomorrow!
