Yayyyy!

December 7th, 2005

Finally finished those silver tip-ins (in my head it sounded like I said it so often that the words sounded like a steam train!) and posted them out yesterday.

OK, for some reason the pictures got cropped when I uploaded them to here, but you get the idea, they’re bauble shaped. They didn’t scan too well, (surprisingly because they aren’t at all 3D), I think if I wasn’t so overwhelmed with relief at finishing them I may have tried scanning them again plus the scanner is playing up a bit and taking ages to scan. We half thought of buying a new scanner but soon realised that a slow scanner doesn’t warrant splashing out on a new one. I think we’ve just got used to everything happening at super-speed that even waiting half a minute for a scan feels like an age. Sad isn’t it? I wonder what on earth it would feel like not to have 8meg broadband, would we survive waiting for a page to load on dial up? or even on ordinary broadband?

Now I have these clay embellishments to be getting on with. I want to use paperclay because it is so light it would be perfect for the cover of an AB, but I don’t know if I want to wait all the time it takes to dry. Of course the solution to that one is to use my sculpey, but PC is just too difficult to be bothered with. Sound like I can’t be bothered to do anything doesn’t it? I need to get over that, perhaps I’m just getting too lazy, never mind wanting everything NOW, it also seems I want it to happen as if by magic!
I’ll get back to you on what I decide to do…..
