I’m so sorry your bust exploded, but it made a good story for us and I am relieved there was no damage to your other work. I have found myself ignoring all else to do something that feels completely necessary in the moment, that was not, in fact, necessary- and I have a very strong dislike of packing that I will put it off until it must be done! Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the garden as spring approaches 💛✨
Espero que não desistas da escultura. Acho o busto muito bem conseguido: uma figura feminina, com traços africanos e evocando a natureza. Em todo o caso, foi assim que o vi.
This is all extermely familar, I always start to clean the entire house the minute I realise I actually should be packing. I often wondered about this and then I realised....the real problem is that I Hate Packing.
Such a shame about your sculpture, it looks brilliant apart from the exploding (I would be very stubborn and try to stick it all back together). I am terrible at sculpture - I am haunted by the memory of a hare that was much more like a guinea-pig than anything else.
So funny your post Sara! I know that feeling, starting stuff at the last minute that could be done without stress a long time ago. Sometimes, my husband is waiting for me to go somewhere and I decide to put the dishes in the dishwasher! Don’t ask me why! 😁 I think this must be something from being woman. We can deal with a lot of stuff at the same time, so anytime is a time no matter what you have already. I’m of the kind, I go to do one thing and I start doing 2 or 3 all together just because they are interconnected or they are there for me to do. 😂. One thing I don’t do: I always start packing one week before and I’m never late for the plane or the doctor😁.
So sorry about your initiation sculpture bust! It really had a beautiful hair! But don’t worry, Sara. Learning by mistake is the best school there is!
Oh my god... I do the same thing! Always find something to do last minute, my husband calls them "side-missions" and he says I am the master of them. It's good to be master at something right? 😄
And yes, I did learn a lot from this first bust and I will be attempting another one soon. Work in the studio is a bit slow at the moment, end of Winter gets busy in the garden and this year I am learning how to prune our Autumn planted trees (apple, pear and plum) and it's driving me crazy!!

Glad to see my "productive" procrastination is not unique... Maybe we just don't like being told what to do? Even if it's by ourselves? 😬
The garden is indeed very much on my mind... and that is why I decided to clean and reorganise the studio...
yes, I think you are right. I very much do not like being told what to do!!

E as colagens são lindas! Continua, please!
Também gosto das colagens :)
E o busto... sim, bem conseguido - é pena é ter explodido :P

Ha! I knew I wasn't alone! Thanks, Fi!
I am not sure if it's that I don't like packing or that I just don't like doing whatever it is that I MUST do... a bit of a contrary mindset, I have.
Maybe you're just brilliant at sculpting guinea-pigs? 😜
It's still a beautiful bust!
Thank you, Tamsin! I am hoping to make more!
