The earth turns onwards...

So far 5 for 5 days of etsy postings, although I'm still scavenging off of my previous half-finished projects. Must work up some more half-finished things for later use...



Flopsy finally gets to model something, although this is not the head I had in mind to use for modeling. I'm still absurdly fond of her eyes.

584 words from yesterday (which brings me to a grand monthly total of 819/10,000) which hardly count, as I started a new thing, randomly tangential, in which a ten-year-old girl is interrupted in the middle of her math homework by the appearance of the ghost of the biological mother she's never really met. All those questions the hypothetical reader asks (why? where's this going?)... I'm asking them too.

Today and tomorrow are for something resembling productive. Monday we're going to the state fair, buying all day ride wristbands, and possibly going to see farm animals get born.

I'm not making this up:

Birthing Center
Daily from 10 am - 10 pm
Free with paid admission to the Maryland State Fair.
Located in the Cow Palace.
The Birthing Center will provide opportunities for fairgoers to witness the miracle of birth of calves, litters of piglets and hatching chicks. In addition, live video cameras coupled with big screen televisions will be added to ensure that everyone has a good view. University of Maryland agriculture students along with the Maryland State Fair Veterinarian will be with the animals at all times to oversee, assist with the deliveries and narrate the birth events that occur during Fair hours. Video presentations will also be available when live births are not taking place.

Yeah, there's a birthing pavilion at the Nebraska State Fair. It's its own little thing and they have newly hatched chicks you can handle. It's actually kind of interesting.

I was with them up until they got to the bit about televising so everyone got a good view.

Who is she? She looks like she could be my Eusebia's sister, what with the freckles and the coloring. Have fun at the fair.

She's an old DIM Rain head on my twiglims V1, and I have no idea who did the face-up, since I got her with it. It's actually in rather bad shape, but I like it enough I don't really want to wipe her.

It should be pretty interesting; I've somehow missed ever going to a state fair before.

. . . there are other ways to write something? (He asked, only half in jest.)

I often have at least a partial plot in mind (ie-- "this is a murder mystery!" or "so&so dies in the end" or "these are key features that will be woven together in more or less this way, if I can figure out how...") but in this case it's version one of "character meets ghost of relative he/she has never met" which came to me as a concept the other night in a very different context. Lots of the fragments in my completely unfinished pile are there because I had some interesting idea and never sorted out what to do with it.
