What do you do when you don't feel like doing anything??

I read.  A lot.  I suppose I probably should be exercising, or at least tidying up my studio, but nope... when it's this hot and I am this unmotivated, I read.  Don't laugh, but lately I have been rereading the "Harry Potter" series - it has been a little bit like visiting old friends.


Jake and I went to the Coast last weekend, just to get away for a few days.  I didn't expect to do much of anything, but I brought along some apoxie clay to play with anyway and for a change I actually got it out and got to work on a sculpt.  I have felt my muse coming back to life recently - I don't think she likes this heat much either, LOL.  If that's true, she must really love the ocean, because I had to force myself to stop work a few times to let the clay set up.  I'm pretty happy with what I have so far.




Because it is apoxie I am working in layers, so she is a little thin yet. I actually ran out and had to order more, but it is here now so I can get back to work on her again. There is a football game on tonight, so I think I will grab my tools and play a bit while Jake watches the game. We keep each other pretty good company.  :-)
