Wow, okay. So I just remembered that I had a blog. I've been going through a lot of stages since my last post, cycling between "how in the world am I going to make this presentable to an actual audience?", "my project isn't going anywhere", and "I feel like I've been explaining and explaining my idea so much that the joy isn't there anymore". I think those things are natural to go through when working on a project this long. It's not that I'm not focused or driven--I'm very much so, but with everything else going on with trying to structure my life, some other things need to come first sometimes for my mind to become clear. For example, I haven't heard from my boss in about a month pertaining to whether or not I still have my job. I rely on that income for a number of things--one being funding for my project. Secondly, I've been trying to get all my stuff together to apply to grad school and it's difficult to work on IP when writing stuff for that, applying for new jobs, and generally balancing work for my other classes.

Aside from that, I'm great. Things are starting to pick up in my studio. I've decided to just produce a lot of dolls-more full-bodied ones and see where that takes me. Endi suggested the use of photography to add another element to my installation, but I'll see where making these things takes me. Okay, I'll post pictures next time.
