Summer Breeze
Today’s capstone is another outfit inspired image with a teddy bear/ rilakkuma clone visitor
. Looking at it now I think I might go back and edit the hands. It looks like I got lazy and added a stuffed animal to avoid drawing the hands… but they are there (simplistic but there). The pastel heart earrings remind me of all the cheap and cute earrings I had growing up. The sort of ones I wish I hadn’t lost or let tarnish. I don’t think I ever owned anything quite as cute though

Heat Wave
Today there was a bit of a storm! Water started seeping in under the front door and I ran about preparing supplies in case a tornado watch or warning was issued for the area. However, other than a bit of rain and wind there wasn’t any major damage.
Due to the unexpected storm the “heat wave” capstone is a bit later than I thought it would be. I didn’t intend for it to be posted on the 4th of July so it isn’t exactly patriotic but it kind of has a sort of picnic look to it
.I was inspired to start sketching the “heat wave” capstone a couple of days ago when it was particularly hot… of course the original sketch had a pair of boots in the corner and a guinea pig frolicking in The Brunette’s hair but sometimes I have to trim my own projects down so I can give attention to other work

The capstone features the Glimmered Piperita Dress from Anthropologie and an ancient red and white cooler that used to be in my basement.

Thursday’s Lunch
I’ve been eating at my desk and trying to get commissions done. Currently, I’m in the process on fixing some definite designs and creating some new pieces as well. In some sense, I’m busy, but being busy doesn’t always mean you are making a profit.
Anyways, my lunch started out as spoiled onions and mushrooms with oil and vinegar which wasn’t filling or delicious. So, I made Myojo Chicken Udon Noodle Soup with half a packet of soup base (to cut back the sodium) and a mug of iced vanilla caramel something or other from a very old tin of General Foods International Coffees (it still tasted good to me
). The meal was yummy but was entirely lacking in the healthy department aside from the 7g of protein.
It was, however, very inexpensive (99¢) . Balancing the bowl of soup away from the keyboard and wacom tablet was more than a little challenging. Thankfully, I didn’t spill on any important peripherals. Take that fax machine! You are nearly obsolete!

I’m Happy.
One of the most interesting parts of drawing is searching for fashions for my capstones to wear.
I go to shopstyle a lot to do a quick browse of outfits or particular articles of clothing… unless whatever I’m working on is outlandish or historic. Generally, the clothing that ends up in the images on aren’t derivative of any single item of clothing from any brand (with obvious exceptions). I just have fun mixing things up and making them flouncy and girly. I especially like working with the look of tulle, fine lace, and layered veiling and the way fabric drapes. It’s so much fun.
I kind of feel like Kaylee in Shindig (Firefly).
Looking at all the pretties.
But as Mal says,
“What are you going to do in that rig? Flounce around the engine room? Be like a sheep walking on its hind legs.”
So, for now, I’ll just admire at all the pretty clothes and work on my capstones and commissions in the engine room.
