Been there got the stupid t-shirt.43 this July. I loved my Twenties. My thirties were the strangest place to be. I never could figure out how I was supposed to act ? When I turned 40 I finally felt mature enough to be 30. I'm kind of a mixed up puppy  |

Forty-one... very soon. Aries, Moon in Scorpio (BEWARE!), Leo rising with Mars in Virgo in my first house... Not... that I do astrology or anything.

My poor Moon is in Scorpio too, Brighid! But my Sun is in flakey Pisces, which pretty much explains me, doesn't it?! My ex The Sociopath was a Scorpio, so I got a bad, bad impression of them from him--he had ALL the negative characteristics and none of the positive ones Ooooo--it's the weekend!

I'm an aries, but a very mellow one. Rising sign in Cancer. I do tend to get along well with other fire signs though. And Gemini too, for some reason. Waxy must be born on a cusp. The cut off between baby boomer and Gen X is '64, I believe. |

Iron forge then some of them I take the back ground out and past on to a between colored back ground. just saturated the hue and the brightness level. but I do use pain shop would be nice to have some other programs but the puter wont support most of them. the last back ground was from saint Louis trip to the botanical gardens real lovely place if you ever get the chance to go don’t take the open air bus ride. you’ll be battling trees. I do hope waxy knows this is all in fun and I harbor nothing against him just would like to see some more work out of him. is all order is up think ill have the same but ill have plum jam on the side instead of blue berries |

John, did you mean ImageForge? I found it and some other free art apps here. And I also have a link to a free 3D computer art program, POVray, for folks who can't afford Bryce or Poser at present or who can't run them on old machines. I think a second cup of coffee is in order--I stayed up late wrestling with a Poser4 image that's driving me to drink Still not using Poser6 due to lack of time to spend learning to use it--it's more complicated than P4--because I optimistically booked space at an art show that's coming up in just a month and a half and I do NOT have nearly enough stuff to fill the space I rented.

botanicals always sell and fill up space and are easily produced with little effort. like a flower or some pretty leaves. if your doing femo craft make beads those 10 to 15 to 20 dollar sells can pay for the booth and your great work will be your extra. think price ranges. but don’t price anything too cheaply because they look at your good work and want to haggle or wonder loudly why its so expensive. selling psychology is the pits. In ceramics our counter part is the bowl. tall or low wide decorating inclined people pick them up never knowing where they are going to go. I stick to earth tones and greens and never have a problem getting rid of them. they actually pay for my materials. then I stick it to them with my covered containers and platters. they pay willingly. lol and its worth the effort to make the other stuff to keep the flow of cash going. but I never ever make mugs that is the biggest waste of time and effort or any gadgetry or trinkety looking stuff. vases seem to be a waste of time too. so I make jars and bottles instead. they want different and things that will slip right in to their environment easily any way that’s my advice for what its worth. Ya image forge is what I use, I like it I hope that I can down load those above mentioned programs. Ill try them. But learning a new program does take a while. |

John, the art show is sci-fi/fantasy, so I have to keep to that, though I can get my astronomical pieces in, so perhaps I'll knock out a couple of them. And I want to have a new Fimo piece, but it's going to be a time-eater--a faerie figure. I have an older large Fimo sculpture/doll of Merlin that I can show NFS (not for sale) if I don't get the faerie done on time, but I'd like to show both of them, darn it. I just need a time machine to create an extra month or two nadm, not certain if a skirt always implies gender, but unless it's a kilt, it's female to me "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

Maybe if I went out on the net and found a sound file of a whip snapping (maybe at an S&M site?!) and set my computer to play it every half hour, it might keep my nose to the grindstone But it would scare the cats... nadm, I *loves* to make faeries! In fact, instead of driving myself to drink doing complex, difficult Poser scenes, I should stick my virtual model of Lily into some simple fae scenes with various wings on her back--bet more people would like them than the difficult stuff--!
