I’m not super loving this piece (it’s not done and needs some cleaning up) but it’s not awful for my first time back at it in over a year. This particular lump I used-Not the white lump in the picture, but the gray- is super hard and sort of difficult to work with. Not sure how the finished product will look but it’s a start. It was really difficult to do while managing babies. They very much need full attention for the most part, we aren’t quite at a place of independent play or even parallel play yet. I also chose one of the more complex designs I had in my head, so that made it extra challenging! Yesterday set the baseline for expectations and today I will try again with a new design and new clay with a fresh understanding how to manage babies and creating! The pictures included are of my workspace, my piece in progress and closer to finished as well as some thumbnail doodles on mail envelopes.

I have been working on a collection of moth and butterfly studs for the upcoming market, so far I am stoked about how they are coming out! I still need to finish them up with a clear coat but I am excited for where this is going and excited to experiment with these a little more in the future! ✨-please excuse the baby banter-✨

Decided to draw outside to change scenery. I decided on a tree and Im just going with it and will probably add on as times goes along.
