"CARMELA" 8x10 acrylic on canvas for the Lakeland Art Giild Art Show next Saturday! Thanks Jason for the title! Finished 3 paintings this weekend. If I keep it up I might be able to see my family about mid-week! Carmela was a total surprise. I just started painting, kept liking it and kept going with it.

Your silly quote for the day.

Here we are to the most difficult part of the work: the stuffing! 😖 Stuffing is a very delicate operation because gives the doll its real form. 🤔 If you stuff too much, the doll could be strange or deformed (you know, like Sloth from “The Goonies”), if you stuff too little the doll would be dull. However, when the form of the head is enough satisfying, the work can go on! 💪🏻 #crochet #uncinetto #amigurumi #wool #stitch #yarn #hook #needle #sew #handmade #craft #diy #work #love #doll #dolls #crochetdoll #customdoll #crochetaddict #crochetmaniac #crochetwork #howiwork #dollhead #timelapse #cosedatuna

#howiwork: Finished black and white for the Ms Marvel ResurrXion variant cover. I scan the finished inks in and pull the file into Photoshop. Here I'll drop out all the blue line and level the blacks. I'll also make any last minute changes/alterations to the drawing. Each step or "pass" I do while working on a drawing is another chance to look at it with a fresh eye. Each time it's easier and quicker for me to make corrections. The illustration is always a work in progress until you upload the file to the publisher :) #wolverine #x23 #marvel #creative #photoshop

Today I’m trying Kilogram Breakfast blend. A little too brisk for me, more like Irish breakfast, heavy on the Darjeeling or maybe Keemun. I tend to prefer a Assam and Ceylon blend. #gailcarriger #amwriting #howiwork #widn #authorlife #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #writerscommunity #writersofimstagram #writerslife #RomanceWriter #tea #teacup

Taking a brain break today. Dumb brain decided that what I need to write is a light-hearted police procedural on a space station featuring an alien POV character who comes from a culture with 5 genders & the security chief he has a mad crush on. Thanks brain! You know I had other stuff to write, right? . http://gailcarriger.com/chirrup #gailcarriger #amwriting #howiwork #widn #authorlife #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #writerscommunity #writersofimstagram #writerslife #RomanceWriter #tea
