Accomplishment Log

I intended to log all hours I spent sculpting and list accomplishments and lessons learned after each session. Alas .....Life. This weekend it was a fallen tree in the back yard (tears of sorrow :( but I saved a beautiful twisted piece of trunk so I can make a seat or end table) and two lunch appointments that I forgot... as well as double booked. I need to pull it together!

On Friday I sculpted for an hour and a half in the morning then grabbed my adventurous sister to seek out the un-responsive Foundry. I discovered nothing. The place looked uninhabitable and kind of like a great set for a horror movie. Curious. Unlike the horror movies, we did not attempt to wander around back and peer in any windows. Maybe he is just taking a much deserved vacation. I then called a few more foundries and discovered that they don't do artistic figurative bronzing. I might have to expand my search to Canada, Oregon and Eastern Washington. I put in another two hours of sculpting to end my Friday.

The entire day of Saturday was spent cleaning up tree debris. I did hear back from my mold casting contact and it sounds like I will be able to have a mold made and a plaster cast poured by May 1st. Very encouraging. So I have one more week to finish the details on First Bond before I meet with this contact and hand her over.

Sunday I felt much more relaxed and I sculpted for an hour in the morning, rearranged my living room, went to one of the forgotten lunch appointments, (Todd remembered this one, fortunately) and then ended my evening with another hour of sculpting, this time on my little attitude torso.

Current feeling: good, confident, in control, and wishing I was home finishing up those details!
Current action: walk to Tully's for a coffee and some investing advice from my latest book. : )
