I believe a lot of artists do this so keep themselves occupied and out of the boredom territory. ((boredom with an object for me leads to horrible cases of self doubt and long periods of not being able to create at all)) thank goodness that is not the case right now.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have an idea. I want to create the Fibro doll. The one that says it all for me on how it makes me feel at my worst. I think a lot of people will relate with it and maybe i will sell it on etsy. Normally I won't sell dolls that I put that much feeling into and I am going to hold back on putting any of my "juju" in it. But I think it might help other fibro-mites out there to know they are not alone in how they feel. I am hoping to add a little steam punk here as its my first attempt with that whole Steam punk thing but I think it will only add to the doll. I need to find some cogs and wheels. hehe....that's all I am telling for now. ya all keep safe. Blessings to you all.:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-85227444582864470582010-11-19T00:53:00.000-07:002010-11-19T00:53:47.964-07:00Busy Busy Busy!It's that time of year when everyone is looking for fun little things for holiday presents. I did just get done with the art show I had. Unfortunately there was not a very good turn out this year and I didn't get any post worthy pics but I did well despite it all. So I will not share anything in that way but I will share some of the pretties and some of the fun pagan supplies I have made.<br />

Oh....and I don't think I have done an update since Halloween so I might as well toss in some pictures of my Halloween costume as it was SO MUCH fun to do and no one really wanted to look at me at the party. Heheee!! Guess it was effective!!! Hope all my pagan friends had a great Samhain and everyone else enjoyed Halloween....I sure did! Brutus (my schnauzer) hopes so too!!!<br />

So that's exactly what I am going to do. Thanks Wendie!! (All have been sold except the magnets and those won't be for sale until after the middle of this November :) ) Please excuse any mess on my desk...back then I was more practicing then anything and wasn't too concerned with [pictures like I am now.

This is by far my favorite series of books...and one I plan on reading again soon. The fan of the series are Die-Hards....I've not met one person yet that thought it was just a "meh" series. I have met a few that didn't like it so much...but whatever it. wasn't for them.<br />
<br />
So I called up another die-hard friend and we put our heads together on what the characters looked like to us while we were reading. To me...Roland was always an older man. Unless they were talking about his younger years of course. We are stuck on a few characters and would like to hear suggestions from other people on who they think would be good for the parts. So far this is what we have.<br />

Still looking for ideas on Jake (he is the hardest one to even think about right now....) Cuthbert and Alain, The Head Hunters....Randall Flagg... Callahan, Ted of course should be played by Anthony Hopkins again as he was in Hearts of Atlantis. It has the makings of an all star cast....I wish they would do them all in movies...and no tv shows....keep them epic like LOTR!!! I am so happy that Ron Howard is on board to direct....that right there proves that its going to be stellar....hopefully as much as the books!</div>

I will admit that I have not done a lot of reading on them. Not because I haven't wanted to...I just haven't found the information that I am looking for I would guess. It seems there aren't a lot of paperclay doll tuts out there. I have a friend that makes them and more then anything I guess I would have learned from just watching her cute little videos that she puts on youtube! ((Hi Gia...aka Sugar Artz) I like her style of the dolls she creates...and yet i do NOT want to copy them. But I wanted to try it on my own. The only thing that made sense to me was styrofoam for an armature. Yes...I did do the cone and ball. I wanted to make a girl!! I've never worked with styrofoam really either...so this was a little challenge. But I will say I fell in LOVE with the paperclay...I even like DAS, as that's what I used on her dress. DAS is a P.I.T.A. for how fast it dries on your hands...paperclay is like heaven. I love paperclay now as much as I do polymer. I am not a sander. I HATE to sand anything. But I also like the rough texture too that paperclay leaves behind and I do my best to keep it as smooth as possible when working with it. Wow...it makes your hands work out too...I had a harder time smoothing the paperclay then I ever did with polymer, but I think I was using too much at a time. Anyhow...here is my little witch doll. She is not complete yet. I will still dress her more fully...cure the genesis paint I used on her and give her more features and better eyes (GOD it is HARD to make the eyes match in paperclay too...LOL) My doll has black dreds and will be holding up the triple moon goddess symbol when I am done. More pics to follow. But yes...one eye is bigger then the other....lol.....just like some people, all sculpts are not created equal. I'm gonna go with it, it what she seems to want me to do! And don't even ask me how to make arms...I have no clue...but someday I will know!:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-38207275145692801322010-07-18T20:04:00.000-06:002010-07-18T20:04:38.670-06:00Who says??

I'm going to admit to a few things here. I become somewhat intimidated by a few things in the sculpting world. I really don't think its anything anyone does on purpose and partly some of it comes from wanting to do so much at once that I can't wrap my mind around any of it. There are so many beautiful fairies out there and yet my heart is with the uggos. I love the trolls and goblins and love to do them so much. BUT they tend not to be a very big challenge to me too and my heart yearns for something a bit harder to do. But, if you look at all the gorgeous sculptures of fairies out there...they are mostly all proportioned correctly...dainty and breath taking. I know a good deal of the collectors look for uniformity in dolls they collect too. Same with the artist associations.<br />

Who says they have to be a certain way?? Is this something we have all come to expect or is it out of the norm...I don't think there is any one person that dictates this sort of thing?? So I wonder why I am intimidated to do it?? I hope to accomplish this and make it my calling card. I think people want to see something different. I welcome the idea of making them look a bit alien-ish....yet with human features. It's hard to explain...but I hope to have the first one done here very soon. I don't think you will notice a few of the details that are out of proportion until I do a standing sculpt as this one is sitting but maybe a few people will pick it up. I am off to work on her now and will post pics later!!

</div><div>Her name is Silent Scream. Her story is of emotional pain that I've struggled to let go for many years and for many things. She is in a "Inner Demon" contest right now on ODA. I can't imagine being a judge for it...as we had to write our own personal stories that go with it and how it effects us. I've read the other stories and they are absolutely heartbreaking. As I said before, now its not really about winning anything in particular....its about putting that demon in front of you and being able to see it for what it is. So....here are my pictures. I welcome comments as always. And, just a little note, she is in a straight jacket as she feels her pains are never heard and that will drive anyone crazy. Her eyes are blacked out because she has seen her past and didn't like it, so now she is afraid of seeing ahead of her, or her future. Her screaming mouth represents real internal screaming for help....hoping someone can show her the way to healing. </div><div><br />

I found a fantastic picture of an old man tonight with the coolest hang-dog eyelids and I had to sculpt them straight away. Right on down to his jowls and flat wrinkled cheeks. I gave him the big bulbous nose as our ears and noses never stop growing and he is old! ( He's very top heavy with that schnaz!!) Maybe he is supposed to be with Madeline....maybe he is supposed to be a worried wizard...not really sure yet, I guess we will see where he goes. (you'd be worried too if your creator didn't know who you were also)<br />

I was not one that read a whole lot of fairy tales when I was young and I did not grow up in an area where they are flooded with them, like Russia or Ireland or even Scotland. So I had to rely on Google for most of my information, much like as with anything else.<br />
<br />
Some of the critters I speak of are listed and basically given a definition below.<br />
<br />
Fairies. Awww...we all like a fairy now and then, right?? Beautiful small human looking creatures that can fly about with holey or tattered wings ( and they don't even whistle!) and some even have time to stop in for a mani-pedi or a cool tattoo these days. :) Good to know that the fairies are raking in the cash to be able to afford such a thing. Must be all the sales of their magic fairy dust. Uh-huh...dust. Right. Don't get me wrong..I am just being silly. I love all of these fairies as much as the next fantasy sculptor but I think its a little funny how far we will take these little beings from the lore in which they were born. (Or were they born in lore?? I actually do not think so!) Ohh and important thing to remember here...not all fairies are nice. Keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times.<br />
<br />
Pixies. I think all the people in the world like me with a slightly sadistic humorous side have a little thing for pixies too. From what I have read, they are fairies with a puck-like demeanor and they are the woods version of that one co-worker that loves to leave whoopee cushions behind on your chair when you leave your cubicle. BUT...they don't always look like fairies...not the human like facial features...sometimes they tend to look like little green aliens with the huge eyes and sideways football shaped heads. I think someone needs to tell them to pull their socks up too.<br />
<br />
Brownies. Now Brownies are the helpers of the world. Much like that of a fairy or a pixie...but don't you dare leave a piece of cake out in offering to them. They will spit on it in disgust and leave, never to look back. They will help as long as it's not spoken of. Maybe they are the nice "black-sheep" of the fairy family and don't like it when people finally come to like them. Not used to being treated kindly. Not sure...but don't thank them if you like what they have done for you. I'm not entirely sure if Brownies have wings or not though. Hmmm<br />
<br />
Imps....much like the pixie...in different clothes, I guess. No one speaks of it. Must be a secret. I'll NOT be the one to reveal it here.<br />
<br />
Elves- A slightly larger being then a fairy although not always. Sometimes they are sculpted to be about the same size and sometimes they have the name elf despite that they look like a male fairy. Then you have the enormous elf category...the Christmas Elf. Some can be as big as four feet high. Some are merely human children wishing they were an Elf and then we have th Ogre/Elf cross known as Will Ferrell. Seems to me that all woodland elves carry very sharp weapons. In my own opinion...they don't seem to be extremely magical unless they work for Santa or are in a Hollywood Movie. If so...why would they need the weapons in the first place?? Oh and I don't think the majority of elves have wings...just saying.<br />
<br />
The only thing I see as a major thing all these aforementioned characters have in common is the pointed ears. There has to be some cross breeding going on there. So does that mean that we have even more designer creatures out there?? Fairves?? Elmps??Pixnies?? Think of the possibilities!! Oh MY!<br />
<br />
In all seriousness, I think they are all wonderful creatures and I love to see the imagination that people use on their sculpts. I will even go as far as to say that I do believe in fairies and I think I have been blessed to see a few in my time in our mountains. I'm not so sure that they look like we think they do or how they have been portrayed over the years. But there is some sort of magic afoot in them thar mountains!! That's for sure. You can even feel when you are close to them. That feeling was described to me by a dear friend...and I have felt that magic. I have seen a tree in the middle of nothing but pine trees look like an old wise twisted Oak on one side...something a troll would live in for sure...and turn around to look at it from the back and suddenly not see the tree at all or even be able to pick it out from the rest. And I was not alone in this "sighting". Hopefully this summer I will get to go back to that special spot. I would love to camp quietly up there and just watch the surroundings. Especially if my best friend can go with me.<br />
<br />
By the way. I know all about cross breeding with elves. I did it. But my boyfriend won't let me post pictures of his ears. *sigh*<br />
<br />
Maybe my next blog post will be about pregnant mermaids....but maybe its not a good thing to get me going on that. :)....heehee!:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-92158459697094347332010-05-23T16:48:00.000-06:002010-05-23T16:48:17.537-06:00I vow to remain original in my art.I just started a Facebook group that allows all artist with original ideas and artwork to join the group in the effort to stop others from copyright infringement.

Please invite your artist friends as its for all artists!:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-54166657552340022102010-05-21T23:52:00.000-06:002010-05-21T23:52:53.160-06:00Rip off art or flattery?As the quote goes...<b>"</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 16px;"><b>Imitation</b> <em style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">is the sincerest form of flattery"</em><em style="font-style: normal;"> that's until you ask an artist with any sort of talent. In the few years I have been in the sculpting world, I have seen many rip offs, knock offs and outright theft of other sculptors work.(actually JUST saw a horrible theft of a few caricature artists on Facebook too) I have seen some very original items too. Sadly it seems not very many people can come up with their own stuff...even right on down to reputable artists ripping off each other. It's pure craziness. I have an original idea or two but wow...even being a no-name for now :) I'm scared to death to put them into an actual working idea. </em></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 16px;">And then there comes the debate on doing tutorials. Hmmm...it seems many people seem like to think if an artist puts out a tutorial on a certain sculpture/piece...that means all of their work is up for grabs and anyone can do them. This saddens me. I am one of the lucky ones that learned how to sculpt by going to free forums and watching free tutorials. I couldn't believe the amount of people that were willing to teach others...just to teach. And now look at what's happening to them. They are getting ripped off for all their efforts. It also really makes me not want to do any sort of teaching in the future. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 16px;">I suppose no matter where you end up in life, you always will have to deal with one of "them". Such is life. But what to do with these people?? And at what point do we stop if calling them out on their work? There are many people that are influenced by our Art Gods/Idols. And when sculpting...I think a time or two it comes across as copying even though you are just practicing or didn't mean for it to, it was just coincidence. I am influenced by many people...and I am sure there will be a time or two when that might show...but if it's not copying..then...it should be okay, right?? But who's to say that someone else doesn't think that I did copy and blows the whistle on me? So where to draw the line? And is it a good idea to blow the whistle on others?? I'm sure that collectors can spy it too, especially if they are hardcore collectors but everyone is free to buy what they want. And where do we draw the line on what's acceptable to copy and what isn't?? I've seen many sculptures that are Disney characters. Or comic book characters...so on and so forth. Why is that acceptable and not someone copying our art. Is it because you are doing a rendition of your own on something that's been well known for a long time...or because we can fly under the radar of major corporations?? I'm not judging...simply wondering where the thoughts are on this. I hear Disney doesn't mess around when it comes to copyright issues. I don't think I'll go there...thank you. :) Being cautious isn't a bad thing. Being original is a very good thing!!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 16px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; line-height: 16px;">So in the end, I will try my ideas and hope they sell well and hope I don't have to deal with any of these problems like all the big wigs in the business have to. I can see where it would make anyone jaded, for sure. </span></span>:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-67614656943251608362010-04-29T01:02:00.000-06:002010-04-29T01:02:00.316-06:00The "bidness" of Business Plans....Wow...my head is spinning. It's been literally years since I have had to do any kind of "homework" or researching for that matter. Many of you know and still others don't know that I am a disabled artist. I really don't want to capitalize on that term either so I'll not go into the details of why. However, I have been blessed with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation for those disabled people that really do want to work. Me being one of them. I have been chosen as a recipient of DVR's help to start my studio business but in order to do so I have to put in my amount of work on a business plan which is fair enough. I really don't have a problem with that at all...but wow...scary thing that!! I got so many projected numbers and new definitions like business torts, leasehold agreements, legal structure.... and sales tax and percentages that I can deduct from my expenses all swimming around my head. Its enough to make anyone dizzy! Who honestly thought that a polymer clay business would need to have any kind of liability insurance especially if no one comes to your home based studio?? Really, our only real liability is whether the sculpt breaks on the way to the customer during shipping and then it should be covered by the cost of insurance thru the shipping provider! Then the questions that beg to be asked like...do I really need a logo and a tagline?? IS that something that is really going to help my business on the internet?? Honestly I can't ever remember seeing another sculptors page have either, other then banners, really. Do I really need to carry an attorney and an accountant?? According to them...yep. I can see having an accountant do my yearly taxes but the rest I can handle on my own with payment vouchers and Quick books. Do I really need to carry an insurance policy for a home based business? Okay I can see this one too in case of fire or a catastrophe where you lose all of your tools, inventory and supplies. So I won't contest that one. Hopefully there is a renters insurance plan out there that will cover that part too.<br />
<br />
Then there is the target marketing for the audience. How do you explain that for a new business?? That one really has me stumped. I mean there are collectors of dolls, sculpts, fantasy art etc. They are all the target market. Me thinks I am going to have to pull the ol' thesaurus out to embellish that to be a long enough definition for the business plan. LOL.<br />
<br />
I guess in the end more then anything most of it depends on your writing and "wowing" skills. Let's hope I can wow the heck out of them!!:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-42785222434210943192010-04-19T22:52:00.001-06:002010-04-29T02:08:53.538-06:00The Inner Demon Contest.Well, for a long time I have wanted to get into sculpting the uglies of the bunch. I feel I am better suited for that then for the pretty fairies and such. They just don't usually fit my style unless they are more natural looking in appearance. Like they live on the forest floor. :)<br />
<br />
Then I started getting into a bunch of stuff in my personal life and was just searching my soul for many answers to many questions I've had along the way. I think we all do this from time to time. I was struggling with quite a few things for awhile and suddenly it hit me. I needed to use my know-how to rid myself of my inner demons. I was seeing a therapist at the time who thought that was a horrible idea. I see it as it's not going to hurt anything more then talk therapy might already do. but...with not feeling well and a surgery I went through (not to mention all the pain I had to live with before the surgery)...the idea just kind of stalled.<br />
<br />
UNTILLLLLL....ODA put up their inner demon contest of which I almost didn't make...thank goodness that they changed the enter date so I, as well as a few others could still join. AHA!! Yes, that was the answer I was looking for. I knew that it would get me going on that project and kick me into high gear with it. Sure...there are some freaking AWESOME prizes a person could win and that would be great and all....but now I am so into it, that's not what I am even thinking about. It's interesting to see what my inner demon looks like. Well, one of them anyhow out of about 2500. (Kidding) Of course I had an idea of what she looked like while I was sketching her out...but wow...she is emerging with such emotion now. This one is my main demon. It wakes me up in the morning...or afternoon, depending on how I feel. It's what drives me...it gets me out of bed, well most days. It's the only thing that I feel actually "protects" me from becoming a victim again. So while this demon is not pretty (as some would be...like a seductress...etc)....and she is so sad and misunderstood and her aches and pains and complaints fall on deaf ears....I think I will keep her around for awhile. I might be purging some of her bad sides but I need to keep her around for her good ones until I learn how to deal with things better on my own. She is that nasty toned voice or that strong arm that occasionally emerges when someone says or does something to me that I don't feel is a correct way to handle such a situation. She is the one that makes me re-coil when I feel danger is near. She's also the one that has the nicotine habit...and the caffeine habit...and the one that collects all the precious little odds and ends for my studio that I may never use...and lets it pile high on my table and desk. LOL.<br />
<br />
There is a kicker to all of this and I am hoping that I will be able to work it all out. There is another sculpt that goes with this one. It's a two parter. For me, its very emotional and I hope to express that to the audience. I hope to be able to invoke the same pain that I feel with all of this, yet not project it on to anyone else. I can't give anymore details then that...sorry. Otherwise I would be giving it all away. But I am sincerely grateful to Eneida and Tenderspirit for the opportunity of this contest. And for everything Tenderspirit has done for me. Thanks Ladies. :):::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-62754294991037894162010-02-16T00:06:00.000-07:002010-02-16T00:06:38.763-07:00what FUN!Somehow I completely screwed up my entire blog just by changing the layout. Must have accidentally hit new template, lost all the stuff I had on my background...had to go to the help forum and get help to get me back where I am now. Yeesh.

Oh and yeah...she's a Spoonie. I know her eyeshadow looks horrid...it's not done yet...she still needs lashes and eyebrows, hair and a body...and clothes before she's even close to done!:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-59701771010265274722010-01-02T22:53:00.001-07:002010-01-02T22:54:38.655-07:00To those that have tried to comment....I think something was wrong with the template that I have on here for my blog and of course I can't change the damn thing to what I want. Anyhow...I think you can comment now. Thanks for trying before and letting me know that it wasn't working.:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-79857348695473358802009-12-22T02:59:00.001-07:002009-12-22T04:33:20.590-07:00RawI think its been well known through the people that know me the best that I have had a hard time with my inspiration lately. Some of it was uncertainty of what I was able to do with the case that I have coming up in a few months and not wanting to hurt my chances of that. But a lot of it, simply, I think anyhow, was that I was lying to myself. I am one of those people that smile to hide pain or fear. I act okay when I am not okay. I laugh when there is turmoil boiling over inside of me. It's not only lying to myself...its lying to everyone around me. It's been a huge frustration to me that people that don't know me, don't believe the pain I have and I couldn't understand why they didn't see the pain in my eyes...or on my face. Don't get me wrong, I don't want pity but I don't want to be misunderstood either. I realize now it's because I have perfected the mask that I wear so well that I don't even realize when I am wearing it. It seems that somewhere along my path, I have picked up that its not okay to show pain, be it physical or emotional for whatever reason. It makes others uncomfortable to be around someone that might show that they are human and have weaknesses. It's time for me not to care about that anymore. With my cognitive thinking being impaired to the level that it is, its also extremely hard for me to freely express how I feel at any given moment, through talking, that is. The only other way I know how to show any form of expression is to let it out creatively with art.<br /><br />I've been trying to teach myself to live a more positive life. To attract more positive things to myself, family and home. Of course a great deal of us jumped on that "Secret" band wagon and while I do believe there is a great truth to that, I also believe it is just one more vehicle for me to deny what I have crammed down deep inside of me. If I don't deal with those demons, they will only fester into a huge ugly boil upon my spirit. I am not going to allow that poison to kill the fire that I know I have inside, somewhere. It's just finding that side of me again. So while I do want to live positively and I DO strive to be successful in all aspects in life...I think its time for me to become more raw with myself. The only way that I can see that happening is to express that through my art. I can either keep pussyfooting around and pretending that there isn't anything nagging at me 24/7 and try to keep making silly, happy sculpts. Don't get me wrong, they certainly have their own place with me still and I haven't lost the love for them or my whacked sense of humor, But I yearn to face the darkness in the eye and reckon with it for the last time as I try to put my past behind me, where it belongs. No one ever teaches people how to heal while we face the trials in life...as we go along. No one ever comes with a set of instructions on how to forgive and get on with life. We have to learn how to deal with it the best on our own. We have to strive to find the right path and that only happens when we are ready to let go. Perhaps that's why there is no right or wrong way to cope and why we don't have our own emergency crash landing manual for life. There is no one right way to land this plane. Honestly, I feel like I am about 10 fucking feet from rock bottom and I am just hovering over that deep black hole that I have decorated to feel comfortable to dwell in for periods of time that are far to long. I have decided that its time to take this vehicle, I call art and use it for me. To make me heal. I can't guarantee that it will all be roses and petunias that I create...it could be a scary, ugly being that comes out...but that's one less demon in my head. If I give it a name and pass it on....even better for me. That's what it's all about right? Creating art for the love of it and showing your true form, expression, emotions through the only way that feels comfortable to the artist. It is about stirring emotion in the audience....so that they may connect with the art at some level too, I get that. But if I am to be true to myself, I will create for the love I have for what I do. All the rest comes after that and if done correctly...it should ALL fall into place the way its meant to be. In an aspect, isn't that attracting the things I need the most in life?? Healing by facing the monsters head on (instead of denying they are there or are just a lie in my own imagination) getting over it...and moving the audience with emotions they might connect with on some inner level? Sounds pretty righteous to me. <br /><br />I'm done lying. I am ready to deal with the nightmares. I am ready to grow, to become a better, more whole being. I want my free-spiritedness back. I will finish my commissions that I have and then I am going to take time to create what I want to create for myself for awhile. I am ready to get back to the beginning and start to create with raw, pure, true emotion and I am ready to fall in love with my talent again. This time I want to stay on track with being honest with me. :::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-83765171398284917942009-12-09T09:51:00.003-07:002009-12-09T10:19:47.819-07:00I have survived! And I am GRATEFUL!I was sitting here this morning, thinking about how long its been since my surgery. It dawned on me that I had it in November, around the 20th, for some reason that day really pops in my head. If it wasn't that day, well it was close enough. Then I realized that its been a little over 9 years since they took that quarter sized calcified, cancerous tumor along with my thyroid, as of this year. Although MOST thyroid cancer is the easiest to treat and one of the slower growing cancers...it's still cancerous all the same. It's still SCARY, especially when I had known about having a tumor for EIGHT freaking YEARS before I (was forced) had a biopsy done on it. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled with the thought of having a needle pushed into the base of my throat, especially 5 different times while the nurse helped hold me down. In hindsight, I wish I would have had it biopsied way earlier then that. All I did in the end was make things much more uncomfortable and painful, by waiting. I still remember when my Endocrinologist called with the the biopsy results. The shock that jolted through my brain and body was like no other that I had ever experienced in my life, to that point. I was a mother of a 3 year old son and an 8 year old step-son. I, of course, had no idea that I was going to be fine but that didn't stop the heartache of thinking that I might not be here for my kids. I think its common for the life expectancy to be a 5 year survival rate for most thyroid cancer patients, just protocol mainly. But I beat it. It wasn't something I was ever sure of until recently because I had only had 1 I131 scan after my RAI (radio active Iodine) treatment was done, mainly due to not having health insurance. (Normally, the Oncologist and Endocrinologist tend to like having that scan done 2 times a year for a few years then once a year for a few years after that, just to see how things are going, or so I've been told) But through recent blood tests, it looks as if I am cancer free. So YAY, now, I am positive that the right Doctor will come along and will be able to adjust my thyroid levels and adrenal gland issues and I will a step closer to being on top of the world soon. I think I will cross my fingers for that to push it through a little faster then normal. <br /><br />But anyhow, here I am. The boys (adult and children sized) still get to put up with me :)- Poor Babies. Eehhhh....I think they'll pull through. I am extremely grateful that I am still a part of their lives and they are a huge part of mine. Same goes with the rest of the family and friends that I hold dear. <br /><br />So today, I am concentrating on my art and the fact that I am so grateful that I am still kicking. It sure as hell beats being on the other side of the grass!:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831941706089666406.post-44019120380072835752009-12-06T20:24:00.000-07:002009-12-06T20:58:09.534-07:00New Blog, New Year, New Life.Yikes, I've never been all that good with these blogs, but I'm going to give it my best shot this time! I am Heather Leigh, a Wyoming sculptor, mother, girlfriend, daughter and friend, and not always in that order. I hope to use this blog as another way of expressing my creativity, updating my friends on my daily life and maybe post the occasional funny, here and there. Since I have been on Facebook, I have had the pleasure of meeting so many talented artists, sculptors and doll makers that it can actually get a tad overwhelming. I can assure you that all of them have been nothing short of inspiring in their own ways, however. <div><br /></div><div>With the new year approaching, I have decided that I am going to make it all that I can. I have a deep seeded feeling that its going to be the start of a new life for my family and me, especially, and I look forward to it with a smile. I have had it with this economy and yet at the same time, its as if I can see the light at the end of the recession tunnel. I know for a fact that my boyfriend's business will be going through a major overhaul and its something that we need. Most people might consider it a bad thing, I see it as positive change and that we can only grow from here. I've not sculpted hardly at all in the last 2 years, but I've got a mind chock full of all sorts of ideas and that's why I added the label of chrysalis woodlands here on my blog for the new sculptures that I have in mind. *whispers*....It's a secret though, so I can't tell what's going on in there just yet. I am so excited to get started on that project but I haven't been able to do much, just know that I am really working it over in my mind...I can already see the beauty of the woodlands come to life and I will be drawing out some of my ideas as soon as I can so that I don't forget a thing about it. This, ladies and Gents, will be a fun ride in the woods! I have yet another idea on top of that but I think it will fit in with the Silver Spoon Studios header just fine so I will leave it there. That's a big secret too.</div><div><br /></div><div>As for my new life...well, first, the guys of the house will have to move my studio into another room, hence why I haven't worked for awhile, other then my body not cooperating with me. It would be silly to start a project now when I have others to finish and then have to pack it all up for another move. I know once I am back in the space I was before I moved into the room where I am at now, I will have a better flow of creativity and have more room to move. It's awfully cramped in here right now with all the stuff I have and think I need for my studio. :) </div><div><br /></div><div>So, I think its time to wrap it up for the night. I just wanted to make a post about what's been going on and the changes that are coming. I look forward to adding a bunch of artists out there to my blog list and getting to know all of you through your posts too. Thanks for stopping by!</div>:::Heather~Leigh:::http://www.blogger.com/profile/10228685419716991963noreply@blogger.com0
