the days are too short

I have so many ideas and plans yet sadly I simply do not have the time to start on any of those.
For weeks I've been saying to start on my tribal headpiece sadly something always got in between.
Last week I started in my own little ring collection, but looking back to them I'm not pleased with them at all.
So, I'll need more time to sit down and think my designs over again.
As for shooting, things have been very quiet as well, because most people never keep their weekends open for photoshoots, and those days are the only days I'm free.

Also, there's the money problem.
For all of my plans I need money, but I want to be sure about my designs before I spend all my money on it.
Because it happened with my ring collection. i started on it and afterward I wasn't pleased with them at all.
Luckely I didn't have to spend my money on those.
But it did taught me I have to be more patient.
it's just I'm so excited about everything and I just can't wait to get started.

as for my phosphene outfit ? yeah still haven't started on that one either. mainly because I have no idea how to start on it.
I'll just have to draw it down and find someone who can help me draw the patterns.

lets hope things will calm down soon, so I'll be able to focus more on my own work again.

About Friday

This friday was how I like my days the most.
Not a second of rest but filled with creativity.
My boss gave me the assignment to just brainstorm the entire day, type everything out, print it all together with pictures, and ofcourse make lots of designs.

It was 19.00 when I left the atelier, Then I went straight to central station where the one and only Bram Deceurt was waiting for me.
It had been so long since we had a photoshoot, and so we decided to have a quick, evening photoshoot.
The shoot turned out to be a little bit more experimental than expected, because once we got to the actual shooting it was already dark outside.

We drove from place to place and stopped from time to time for some pictures.
After that we had a nice Mojito, and so once I got home I was exhausted!

Today my day is somehow similar to yesterday.
I'm going to finish my own designs for my first ring collection, maybe pay a visit to the atelier as well, buy my tickets for londen when in antwerp, go to look for some hairdye '( I'm getting blond again ), clean the house ( to be home for adleast a few hours today, my mom is complaining I've hardly been home these past weeks ) and then get ready for the " Undead " Party in Ghent.
Oh, and if I have any time left, make designs for Phosphene costume! Because I'm forgetting about this poor guy.

time to get started!

So, monday things will get a lot more complicated at work.
I've told you about the new arrangements that have been made, and monday we're going to give it a try!
I'm pretty nervous, but my boss believes in my skills and is confident that I'll do a great job.
This gives me more faith in myself, ofcourse....but it also puts more pressure on me as well.
I'm afraid to dissapoint not only him, but also myself.
The road I've been walking to get where I'm now was far from an easy one, and often I've been tested by whatever is up there.
There were times I thought about giving up, And I'm afraid those thoughts will hunt my mind again if I dissapoint myself.
Things will be difficult at first, there will be ups and down and I won't be able to finish everything perfectly in the first few months.
But I guess that's all part of the job, right ?
Besides, I really want to do this! The reasons I'm feeling nervous is because I'm excited and passionate about it.
As long as I remember that I'm sure I'll be able to get up after everytime I fall.

Also, I'm finally going to start on my driver's licence!
If I have to go to cliƫnts outside of Antwerp I'll be needing a car!
I'm super paranoid when it comes to cars... I mean, me driving this enormous cage of metal ?
People die because of these things. ( I'm not really worried about my own health... But I'm worried about these other people that will be on the streets when I'm driving  )
BUT, once again this is something I'm going to force myself to do.
Once I understand these deadly machines they'll get a lot less scarier and I'm sure if I practise enough, I'll one day have complete confidence in these things.
