Goals
Today we set our goals for this week on the Artist to Artist facebook page. Mine are
1. Finish my little dragonfly wing fairy.
a. working on her hands and then she will be ready for hair and wings. And I am thinking about her outfit.
2. Learn how to watermark my photos.
a. Got a good start on that. I spent way to much time on the computer today learning stuff, but, had to be done.
b. I tried out two programs for watermarking. Still need to decide which one I like. One is really easy, but I can see how to export and one on my computer(Windows 10) is much more difficult but I think because it is on my computer it would be better to learn. Stuff running around in my head!
3. Start the new face for the two fairy bodies I have waiting for heads.
a. Working on one. I think it is going to be cute. She has gray/lavender eyes.
4. Not on the list but I just baked one little mermaid in a shell. So forward movement and baking one hand. I worked on those fingers..hope they hold their shape. They ate so tiny.
5. Wrote on my blog.

Artist to Artist Class
The Artist to Artist live class was awesome. Just so full of information and encouragement. I highly recommend if you are an artist of any medium... Join this group. It crosses all forms of art. I am just enjoying being a part of the group.
Sunday live class
Today I am waiting to go live online to take a class by Adele of the www.facebook.com/artisttoartist . It is a marketing and selling your art page and I am so glad she is doing this. It is a mystery to me how to get my art seen, while living in a remote Alaskan Fishing Village. So I am all ready for the class.
Adele also gave me some pointers on the power point I need to learn to present to the En Plein Aire painting group during the summer solstice. She is a generous person.
Oh dear...two minutes. Need to get over to the site. I will be back and tell you how the class went!!

Tonight
More photos
You can see that her fingers are too thick. I think I need to take her hand off and redo it before I bake her. Taking it off and working on it separately is easier than working on it still attached to the body. And I think I will give her much smaller ears and perhaps make them a little pointy. Legs and arm muscles need working on. Trying to go slow and really focus on getting it right.
New Fairy with Green Wings
I am halfway through sculpting a new little "green wing" fairy. I hope she will tell me her name soon.. Green Wing just seems so plain.
Working on her hands. I am pretty sure they need to be smaller. And her ears too. But this is all I am doing tonight. I had company all day and did not get to do any sculpting at all. But she did have her first bake and tomorrow I will finish her hands, bake and start on her feet. I would like them to be bare, so that I can practice on sculpting toes.

A big wind
A big wind is blowing outside....bringing in Spring(no doubt). The gusts will probably keep the fairies and I up all night. They have been flitting around all day with nervous energy! We were visited by Cory today, my 5 year old grandson. He loves to play and we had a great time outside. The fairies hide when he comes, but they love watching his antics. He thinks up more things than even the fairies!!
Today he was trying to trick the crows. He doesn't know they are called the "tricksters" and they played hide and seek with the food he tossed out all day. He would hide the food and they would find it. What fun to watch.
I will be back to sculpting tomorrow. I have several ..15 mermaid faces...and 8 hermit faces...tomorrow I will work on bodies... Of course the fairies will help me...they are the best helpers...unless they are in to mischief...then..not so much!
