Watch your backs.<\/p>\n<p>I was thinking about doing a total spoof web log entry but decided against it at the last minute.<\/p>\n<p>I had a doctor\u2019s appointment to follow up on my foot. He told me that it is not broken, but I knew that. He also told me that I have a mutant foot in a good way. I have extra bone where it is good to have extra bone. I also have one heck of a heel spur which has been building up over time. So we are back to the physical therapy that I have done before twice a day, ice 3 times a day, and no bare feet. The last one is the hardest because I live in bare feet. I only put on shoes to go outside the house. But since my foot needs more support than that, I will be shod.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend is the Froud workshop. This year it is specifically creature making which piqued my interest. Yes, I have a lot going on this weekend and Peter is off to the West Coast next week, but I need this and Peter knows it. This is my retreat weekend. I get to go off and be creative without interruption for a couple of days. Kind of a rest button for my creative mind. And considering all the stuff that has been going on, I really need this. <\/p>\n<p>Some day I am going to set up a photo retrospective of all the dolls I have made in Wendy\u2019s workshop. I think this is my fourth one. It might be the fifth but I think it is the fourth. Either way, I have learned a lot and become a better doll maker and sculptor because of these workshops. This will set me up for what I want to do later for DragonCon and some other conventions. I will still do the puppets because those are my signature pieces. <\/p>\n<p>So I am slowing shifting to my artistic brain by making a puppet of Ariel and a dragon for a swap. By tomorrow I\u2019ll be in the making groove and all will be creative.<\/p>\n<p>I am grateful for time to just let my artistic side out to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy April Fools Day!
