Right now I’m waiting impatiently for a HTML file to be sent to me for the new PIM web design. I’ve spent the majority of today going through emails - a huge backlog still awaits - but have been trying to prepare the next lot of videos from SOP, and got somewhat distracted when a big amount of polymer clay arrived at my house.

I’ve never really worked with polymer clay before, but have been teaching myself how to make all sorts of things (thank Youtube), including some ‘canes’ for oranges. It took me about 4 hours to make my cane, perhaps because it’s my first one. I have to admit though, it’s nice working with a different medium for once. Instead of cutting, sewing or gluing, it’s good to do some kneading, mushing and rolling. And there’s nothing like stopping everything you’re doing because you have a craving to try something new. … Granted, this is all part of my master plan for a puppet that I’ve been working on, and coincidentally (in buying a birthday present for my sister made from polymer clay) realised that the stuff would be ideal for some unusual facial features.

Er yeah, you’re going to have to wait a bit to see what I mean, but hopefully if I get it right, it won’t be too weird.

Anyway, I’m also hoping to have some exciting news for tomorrow or Monday, so you may get 6 posts this week instead of 5. 

But don’t be surprised if I start working on the new PIM design in the meantime.
