Ever work on multiple projects at once?
Advertisements [?]
I do it keeps me from getting bored.

Right now ..

I am building a 4 might turn out to be more like 5, foot paper mache statue of Sekhmet in male form. It is partly done,it is in a more natural stance than the formal egyptian poses do. The body, legs, feet, one arm, the sun and serpent that goes on her head is already done except for detailing and smoothing of the finish.. and the head and one arm is partly done.My mom had saved up a ton of paper,I had to do Something with it.

I am also painting my nightstand in psychedelic colors and op arty designs and it's almost done.I'll probably have it varnish and all done tonight. I miss my nightstand. I might do the chest of drawers in my room in painted the same wild way.

I am making a leather back piece for my chain vest which I have been working on for a long while ..It is almost done finally.I need to go to thrift shops and get a few cheep long black leather coats to scavenge the leather from to make the last part of this vest,( A long full part like a frock, that reaches my ankles)Which will be detachable.

I am radically altering the design of the vest. When I got it it was a traditional biker vest. It now has silver chains,looped through eyelets placed around the outer armholes,Lightning bolts in silver leather and small studs run down both the sides, I installed zip in/out silver leather sleeves with obnoxious long black leather fringe scavenged off other thrift shop coats, I cast 2 pewter Lion head conchas, put 'em,on the collar inner points, it's embellished on the shoulders with dragon claw spikes, round studs and pyramid studs.It has silver leather inlay on the collars in flame designs.And thebottom of the vest has been lengthened and tapered into a graceful point at the longest part in back center.The belt loops are studded and the belt is too..Under the tapered part are several snaps, protected by a leather flap that can be unsnapped , It's to hook the frock part to the vest,I did this so the bigger snaps for the frock don't scrape me when I wear the vest without the frock.I made the vest longer and pointed in the back because I am tall and I hate it when my shirttail hangs out of the back of my vest because the vest was designed for when you tuck in your shirt.I never tuck my shirts.I want the option of having it frock like..But in August it would be uncomfortable ,hence the zip out sleeves and snap off frock. It has been a hell of a project I have changed course a few times while making it..

And I am drawing a tarot deck over half the major arcana is done..

Anyone else doing many things at once here too??
Tell me about it!
