Okay, is this
less scary? I need to work on some clean up, but I pulled my poor
whales' teethe out, added shadow to the eye (which is the first time I
realized why they named the cosmetic eyeshadow, I get it now!) and made
him 'smile' a bit more. This was supposed to be a fun project. I am
cranky now. I'm not doing custom works of art any more. Done. From
now on if I have something for sale you must like it as is.
Anyone else have this epiphany with their design career?
I am so upset now for altering my whale! I tried this idea below as well, it's not quite done but just so you can get the gist, which do you prefer?
I have to say I really wanted to do this project because I have been obsessed with 'Where the wild things are' since I was a wee lass. This reminded me of it and I was enjoying the possibilities of a little boys wild imagination growing up with this piece made just for him. I think it's incredible to be able to have something that can foster creativity and not just be decor du jour, such an amazing gift. I'm not talking just my work (oh, gosh no, we're lucky I get up in the a.m.) but any of the talented artists out there that create with the idea of magical possibility. I am loving Emily of Black Apple's stories of the Odd Fellow Orphanage, I just want the whole concept to come in one tome to pour over and over....
