The night before Christmas

I am waiting for the resin to cure and for some daylight before removing Bawbag’s piece from the studio, but everything was looking pretty good earlier.

Have thought of a potential solution to the Little Shiva problem, so am awaiting the items I need to complete that.

Apart from that, lots and lots more sewing to do, so pretty busy with that.

Hopefully pics tomorrow.

Why are allegedly respectable people always stone mad?

Update prior to making some changes

Tomorrow is likely to be a big day, as I am hoping to get Haram Bawbag to the final stage, and perhaps release it next week.  I will be getting some posters made of all the work this time, as there is no point in me making it if I do not show it to anybody.

Thinking about him a lot, as I met his current partner last week or so.  She seems like a steady person, which is what he probably needs.

It is amazing after all his rubbish that I am still quite fond of him.  The issues raised have been interesting to say the least. Otherwise respectable people are driven quite mad by Bawbag, he really has getting under your skin down to a fine art.

It takes a special kind of forbearance and a great deal of distance to have a long term friendship with a difficult person, but I think he has made a rather nice piece of work.  Assuming that the final stages go well, we should have a very worthwhile piece.

Now driving a new car, which is odd.  I went for something a little bit less scruffy than usual this time.  It had better last as I do not want to buy a new car for a long time.

This week has been very busy for money, so I will be depositing some unexpected cash.

Once this collection is finished it is time to start the next phase of work, and I have a lot of work to do with various taxation bodies in the near future.  Sounds like no fun, but like cleaning, you feel so much better after you’ve done it.

Have reverted to my neurotic health diet, as I was starting to look a bit tattier than I can stand.  Looking forward to having more spare time after this lot is out.

Little Shiva is killing me, it is not at all easy.

Long time no see

Haram Bawbag is in its final stages, and I am very bored with sanding.  It looks very nice though, and my second attempt at lighting will be happening tomorrow as I want to finish it so that it can be used for promotion.

Little Shiva is taking an enormous amount of physical strength in the absence of a person to help with it.  It is very difficult to see something this big.  Had to buy a new jigsaw to start the base for it, which is huge.  The old one died almost immediately. I don’t anticipate too many problems other than strength and lack of help in resolving the issues.  I’m current resting whilst stuffing it so that the shape will be perfect.  It is very tiring and space consuming work.

Sewing progressing nicely and starting to acquire that cannot stop staring quality I like to try and hit.

Hope everyone apart from my repellent family are OK

Brutally hard work

Little Shiva is now in glorious shape and is ready for the resin process to start.  I will have to organise some movers to shift it into position as he is very heavy.

Awaiting some specialist sandpaper and lighting for Haram Bawbag, otherwise it is pretty much complete.

Sewing will recommence on Friday for the rest of the work, although I am less excited about that.

Update coming soon.

So the drama continues….

So this week I am doing a kind of souped up turbo fabric mache for Little Shiva, which is taking a lot of time but Little Shiva is looking pretty on point.

Haram Bawbag, which is about friendship, women and Islam via the medium of a  Billionaire Lybian warlord I used to quite like, is awaiting new lighting as the first attempt was a bit too Christmas tree for my liking.  Otherwise going well and I think it will also be a good result.  Certainly a good practise run for the finishing months on Little Shiva.

I think I may have inadvertently invented a new sport in the course of planning the Grimes piece.  I like it though, it is a winner.  There will be a short delay whilst I amass the relevant pieces as I am not rich and I have to be devious to keep up with my mad ideas.

Apart from that, sewing going well and I’m looking forward to getting this finished and getting onto the next phase.

For those who do not know already, this is Grimes.

Greetings – a creative post

Working on the finishing touches before the hard part starts with Little Shiva whilst installing the lighting for Haram Bawbag.  Taking longer than expected but interesting – as usual my hands knew what I was doing before I did.

I had made about three hundred flowers and thousands of leaves and had no idea why i needed them all, but all has become clear, so there will be another couple of weeks at least of resin work before it is complete.

Going well though, and I think I am reasonably happy with it.

If Boris is on again this week – I tweeted you, wtf is wrong? DM me or something

Digging Grimes at the moment, I am thinking I might do something for her after all this is finished.

Big changes coming shortly

Haram Bawbag is now in the final stages and should be ready next week or so, barring any major disasters with the detailed portion.

Feeling a lot better since the change of diet, and normal service will be up to date by next week.

Little Shiva is going to be the next big challenge, and as it is key, will take a lot of blood, sweat and tears to complete.

 

Thank you for your patience at this time.

Slogging

So bit further on with the admin now, and on the last two basic frames for the new work, which is an epic slog.

Made a few hundred items for Haram Bawbag, and spoke to him on the phone regarding my recent bereavement.  I am sure he is suitably chastened after that conversation.

Little Shiva has been in a few times, we have also had a visit from Boris, I do not know why, but he seems a little bit down. Possibly the strain of being surrounded by corrupt self interested liars, but who knows?

Neighbour has taken to sitting in a garden chair coughing into the garden, so I am considering privacy fencing rather than actually having him prosecuted as this is not condusive to a peaceful life.

Little Shiva has been postponed a bit due to the new stuff  being put away, but will be underway as soon as I clear some workspace.

Haram Bawbag is going to be dismantled prior to getting him out of the studio, so I am psyching myself up for that. Got some advice from a removal guy that was doing some work for me, and he agrees that it needs to be split to be moved.

Virus headaches now a lot rarer, but this has not been a pleasant experience. Back on supermix.

Apart from that, work going well and it is nice to have a two day week so that I can rest and work on other stuff. Some of the colleagues are a bit toxic, but we are used to that. Water off a duck’s back after the epic delusional entitlement of my family. It strikes me again that millennials are just boomers without the easy life.

Update for Little Shiva

Hi,

I see you have been on.

I am fine, administering a death in the family.

The tongues look good, but I am a bit snowed at the moment with stuff I have to get done fast.

Back soon,

Ina

The end of the long, long haul

So, we are now into embellishment and potential dismantling of Haram Bawbag, and Little Shiva is now undergoing structural reinforcement prior to the resin layers.  It is an enormous and complex piece of work, which involves a lot of fiddling.

We have had Little Shiva needing a seatbelt, Little Shiva being too difficult to move, Little Shiva being largely guesswork because of the size and apparent impossibility of embroidering a giant 3 dimensional shape.  It is going very well, however and so far going to plan.

There is a very small amount of assembly left, and I need to make the base to enable it to move freely on the base without destabilising it as it weighs an awful lot, and I am expecting to add another 40 kilos or so before it is complete.

I now need to locate an irritated vendor in India, who has been waiting for me to order for over a year.

Haram Bawbag is slightly held up with covid issues due to slow delivery, but is also going very much according to plan, and I am hopeful that it will be finished next week or so.

There are still a dozen or so cushions to finish for the Sikh section, and as this collection is a lot of surface work, will be moving back into more fluid 3d shapes for the next collection.  I will be doing a smaller collection next time though, as this one will be released over about six months and has made me ill at least once over the last two years.

Couple of Boris pieces still to finish, but I will be investing in some polishing agents before release as I am getting considerably more experienced with resin now.

Anyway, tonight is waterproofing, which will take all night and then some reinforcements in order to set the tongues in place.  This is so that the outer shell is one fluent piece.  It is trixy but fun.
