Consistency has been my biggest foe this month. I don’t know what’s happening to me. Ever since the show went up in early February, I’ve been feeling really down and slow to start on a lot of things. I want to just retreat into my turtle shell for 5 days…
It’s past 3 am and this is my last post tonight/today. I’ve got an exhibit tomorrow and I managed to make 4-5 more new ones. The fifth one needs a different jar, but the jars are outside, so I’ll get it tomorrow.
