On another note, November is here and with it it brings NaNoWriMo!
And this year I've decided to become a willing victim, er, participant.
NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month - the goal is 50,000 words in between November first and November 30. That's a lot of writing, a whole novel to be precise. So, if I'm absent from deviant for a while, that is why. I think my muse is just going to collapse after this.
If anyone else is interested in NaNo, you can check it out here.

Still want to draw your attention to . . .
The project was to do a plaster cast with gauze strips - not an easy task. Being wide eyed noobs with plaster, we chose to cast a raggity anne doll - not a wise choice, I wouldn't recommend it. The surface was unstable, and gave too much. It took a week of plastering and replastering, and plastering, and sanding, and nail biting to actually get the form right. At one point we had two arms, two legs, a head that was split down the middle and a pile of clothe for the torso - all in separate pieces, might I add.
Anyway, I guess that artists are stubborn, for we finally prevailed.
You can see our rather odd clown here:

Hers is a style that perfectly utilizes her sharp wit and her sardonic(who are we kidding here - sarcastic) nature. Her comics and spoofs are guaranteed to get a laugh out of you, and her being a geek-comrade-in-arms guarantees numerous fangirl moments within her galleries.
