puppetmaker | Monday Motivations Picking Up the Pieces (Reply)

Last week was a bit of a wash. I did get some things done but not as much as I would like. Funny that Caroline felt the same.

This week has its challenges including Peter going to a convention this next weekend and losing an hour’s sleep on Saturday.

I think a list and a little planning is in order along with some time for the unknown to change the entire plan.

I am hoping to show at LunaCon but I don’t know if there is space available. I have a few pieces I can just put out there but I want to start to get ready for DragonCon now.

But first I have four puppets that need attention, which I am hoping that this week will bring to fruition. And a niffler, I really need to get cracking on the Niffler.

Panic is not a good motivator but it works entirely too well for me. I know I need to change that within myself and teach Caroline the same. She worries constantly that she is procrastinating. I need to get her to a point to see that she does as much as she can within a day and she has a lot to do within the day.

We came up with the sketch for DragonCon Puppet slam. It is going to take some work but not as much as other years. I think I can do all this in the time allotted. And there is going to be some serious thinking outside of the box.

I am not worried about that. I know that my skill set as an artist is getting better with each piece I make. I know I can do what my mind comes up with and that’s a good feeling.

I have another idea for an art piece that I might get done by LunaCon but not going to beat myself up if I can’t get it done. Paper manipulation.

The list today is kitchen, niffler, yarmulke, and magnets.

I am feeling motivated so let’s see what I can get done.

I am grateful for a feeling of confidence about what I am able to create.
