I know I've been a bad blogger, having skipped one week altogether and missed my blog-day last week.

But I have been doing well since my last post.  I did complete the gargoyle (as you can see) and...(drumroll)...I got PUBLISHED again!!!  Quintuple Yay!   The second image in the same series as the gargoyle, titled Salamander: Lord of Fire, was published in the fall issue of Circle Magazine!  Must update website soon 'cause that's important resume kinda stuff.

The main reason I haven't posted is that the projects I'm working on at the moment are not particularly high art, but I've been enjoying myself as I don't put as much stress on such things.  As I mentioned before, I have started my pirate costume.  I found a new pattern, which is based on the stuff Elizabeth Swan wears in the movies (Simplicity 4092), and am currently working on the overdress.  I've still got the underskirt, bloomers (4914), and hat (McCalls 4805) to finish, which I may put off until later so I can get back to some serious work now that I've had a break.

I'm also painting a new batch of Dungeons & Dragons figures that I bought.  I'm looking to build a whole set of grey elves, a nomadic group that I created and have outlined some story for.  Now I have all the main characters, but sometime I'd like to get all the characters in the group, which is like 25 figures.  Not planning to order the rest of them any time soon.  But I do enjoy painting the figures, finding all the amazingly tiny details the sculptors work into these things.  I plan to take some pictures if I can set something up well enough that you could see them.  Might post that next week.  I'm also putting some figures, the Three Victories, that I painted previously into a shadowbox frame so I can display them somewhere.
