Sorry for no post

Hey people... sorry I haven't updated in so long!!! It's been insanely cold around here... hovering around 5 degrees F and ranging up to about 15 for a few weeks now. Too cold in the basement for glue or paint to set right... and for human habitation too!! I haven't been down here for more than about ten minutes at a stretch and even then I wrapped my lower half up in a sleeping bag and wore lots of layers!!!

So no work on the set recently, but now the cold front has passed, so work should resume. Actually I already got a few small things done, but nothing worth posting pics yet.

See ya soon.....

Hi Darkmatters,

I'm glad you didn't freeze to death and that you'll be able to get back to work on your project soon.

Happy crafting.

I think we would rather see your fingers fall off from creating fantastic work rather than by way of cold....all in due time.

Your admirers await. I can't even imagine that level of cold.

Glad it's warming up! Can definitely relate to the too-cold-to-work winter!

And good to hear from you !

Funny; I was up the whole night walking through the city and bringing out flyers and posters while icy winds blew. It took us hours... happy crafting !

m_) It's all good mike, we all know there is no point to stop, unless the cold ...takes over!

m_) By the way, please send me a banner whenever you get a chance, my site is getting more shape and we definitely wants your protagonist appearance on it.

m_) speaking of random things, have you kept track of 100% new zealand competition? An argentinean dude is one of the 5th finalist!!! Andres Borghi (Lucila Las Heras' best friend!!)

m_) Sorry, I know you may not care but this can totally show you my pure excitement.

yeash. I know of someone who froze to death a month ago. literally.
so yes.know: try doing warm up exercises instead.

(^ meanwhile, I've been off learning to do stain glass.

talk about layers! and lighting experiments.
maybe it's time to do some work above ground?

For the meantime, there's more than enough stuff here to soak ones mind in... But don't take too long before the next major post. I was wondering whether you would be comfortable for me to carry one of your graphics on cosmic rapture with full attribution of course?

Please let me know.

Sure MM, feel free!!

I've been a bit wrapped up in something else lately, but I'll be getting back to the stopmo stuff soon, promise! Hang in there!

I can't believe you left those puppets down there alone with an open bar - that's not going to be pretty when the booze runs out.
