Two Cats and a headache
The two cats are below, see?
A new Maneki Neko (Lucky Cat)...I shaded the orange this time instead of leaving a hard line...looks more like the porcelain "lucky cats" you see in Japan.
And here is the "aged bronze" Bast mask I was talking about making. Notice how I did the two masks differently, even though they are both cats? The Bast has a longer, narrower face with larger ears like a Siamese cat (Egyptian cat mummies show a cat with a body type very much like a modern Siamese). The lucky cats all have big round cartoony-faces with cute silly ears, so I did that pattern in that vein. Details! These two are up in Etsy already.
More Bast.
The next thing I try with this color treatment will be a Green Man. Haven't made one of those in a long time anyway, so it should be fun.
I also made another little gift dragon...
Isn't she cute? There's a story behind it but it has to wait, as I am nearly incoherent from tired.
I was up late working, and then experienced teen drama because someone in this house was on her cell phone at 1AM!! Yeah, that dog won't hunt, as they say. So I was up all night fuming and working and now I am an exceedingly tired headachey grumpy me. The only person more sullen and grumpy than me is Char. Honestly, I love the kid but there still have to be rules, you know? On no planet is it okay for a kid to be up until 1AM on the phone on a school night.
She's not used to me yelling at her. I'm not used to yelling. It's stressfull all around. Plus, she plays "defense lawyer" with me whenever I catch her doing anything she shouldn't be doing (which admittedly is rare) and that just makes me go nuts. If you DO something wrong and you get caught, just confess and apologize and assure me it won't happen again...that's all I want! Not some half-assed debate about how you didn't know & therefore no crime was committed & blah blah temporary insanity blah hate you blah blah woof woof....
SO much easier for both of us when she just refrains from doing stupid shit, you know?
*sigh* Anyway. Head hurts. Good morning. Going to bed now.

As for the cell phone... I would take their charger and put it in my bedroom and collect the cell at night and charge it in my bedroom so they wouldn't be able to use it improperly at 1am. Also turn off the internet at bedtime if the house was networked.
Heh.... I'd be a strict momma. Of course if my kid acted right I'd slowly give them more and more privileges, and if they didn't act right it'd stay minimalist for them.
LOVE the masks! Love seeing them here! ^_^ I don't check DA very often anymore.
It's SNOWING! YIPPEE! Doesn't look like it's sticking though. Awwww....

Snowing there? Wow! That's pretty rare from what I understand. Stay warm!
