Didn't get much done today tho i did work hard. Started the moulding off a couple of smaller ones that i need to do & had a hack at the big feller. I reckon some hard decisions need to be made & I can't put them off any longer. Like cutting off that arm thats sorta not working at all & maybe even the other one as well. Trouble is once they are off i will need someone to hold them up while i weld them back on the right way. My assistant who is very busy anyway has only skinny wee arms so she would not be too good holding up a 15kg arm while i welded it back on. But then maybe i can just cut them off and throw em away & make completely new ones.... thus they'd be light with no clay on em. Man i would love to just start over entirely, but can't help thinking i would face exactly the same issues then as well. So what can u do.. you got to just suck it up, like they say in the armed forces. Or somewhere.
Well after yesterdays optimism i was bound to have a comedown eh. Thats how it goes, up & down. Then i will make some resolution at about 3am tonite during a sleepless night where i wake in terror constantly; & then when i follow thru on that resolution tomorrow, like chopping off that arm & measuring the head, it will come good & i'll get optimistic again. Sigh wish i could just avoid the sleepless night part, its gonna be boring.
i can drop in sometime and hold your arm. I guess it would have to be sooner rather than later though. If you are there, I could come past after work tonight. B.
