Just Waking Up

I crashed out at a reasonable time for once. I've had a lot of difficulty with sleeping of late. Took part in Sketchfest a little bit last night. With Sketchfest you choose from prompts that are posted and spend only one hour on a sketch. It was my first time, really. Problem is, I loved it so much that after posting the image, I've been working on it.

The Prompt:  Owl Princess.
Feathered Regalia on Sketchfest

Here's the image pre "mess around with the colors to get it to look brighter."

It has been a very high pain/fatigue day, so I can't sit at the desk for long. I settled in on the floor for a little bit with my tools and my freshly charged iPod. Had some Tool going on.  Then later I moved to the desk. Too tired to finish it last night. Maybe more will go into this today. 

Something a Little Different - Owl

Awhile back I made up this little concept of an owl. It's fairly simplistic in that it's easy to crochet. What I like to do that is different, however, is add on some fabric and hand-beaded accents. I thought about sculpting beaks, but decided the little chip would be better. I think they're just glass chips, not actual amethyst or anything, though. I'm working on more of these.

I plan to finish the necklace featured in the last post, but I haven't had the chance yet to just sit down and do so. I'm in that mentally non-functional arena today.
