ON TO THE ORIGINAL JOURNAL

Good Monday for everybody, how r you?

Today I have a major headache, several freelance work to finish and well, as the tradition goes in our house, my cousin found another newborn kitty 2 houses far from our home. So, well, there goes my nights of sleep. Anyway, we love to help little critters (yeah, we even hunt our cats when they catch lizards)so I'm up for the care of our 2 newcomers.

The purpouse of this journal is to ask my friends here if there's any kind of Tutorial you'd like me to do. I have plenty of delayed work on my hands right now and this will include lots of different media and techniques, so if you are curious about my way of doing things, I can try to build a tutorial for you to look at =)

I want to take this as a way to focus my energies once I'm not doing works >.<

So, here's the list of possible tutorials I can give a try with, pick your favorite, comment and I'll try to make them in order (the most wanted to the least interesting that's voted)

1. Oil Painting (Unicorn from a story)
2. Acrylic Painting (MLP Related)
3. Acrylic Painting (Unicorn)
4. Colored Pencils (Unicorn)
5. Pencil Drawings (One of many sketches to be done)
6. Custom Pony ( Pegasus)
7. Custom Pony (Alternate pose. Sculpted wings & Hair)
8. Custom Pony (Sculpted Unicorn on base)
9. Custom Pony (Saddled Pony)
10. Any other you might recommend

It will be most likely to show the process but with some tips in them, as I'm not good at teaching or explaining >.<

So, come and comment about your favorite!

Thank you!

And before I go, I want to ask everybody to go to :iconbeautifulwolf: gallery and show some love. She's going through similar situations than what I've been through since november. She has lost a member of her family and now other of her dogs has problems. I know what it feels and I've been crying on the past hour reading the old posts on her blog wich I missed for being in my own sadness. I've found myself in those words over and over, Miracles happen, sadly not the way we hope them to be, the biggest miracle is to change your whole life to help animals, any kind of animals, to fit your life to their needs, to look for them because their life is so short and you want them to go through it with the love they deserve. Sadly with this miracles comes bigger commitments, and the hardest of them is to accept to let them go for any reason. Reasons will never be enough to calm a broken heart while you hold their bodies hoping to get one last look on their eyes, hoping to look what they're looking now that they're starting their new journey away from us. It's the most heartbreaking experience in this world. You will never know if this decission was right, praying often won't work, their bodies will fade praying or not. What I've learned this months is to pray for being strong when the imminent moment comes, that moment when you will say "Ok, do it" That moment when all your body and soul will burst into tears, when you want to hold their bodies hoping to keep them with you a little bit more. When you know God is hearing you but he won't do anything to lower the pain.

Yup, I'm crying again. This months have been so hard, I have dark areas around my eyes and I look at myself and all I can see is a sad woman hiding all this feelings once she goes out the door.

But I go out and I try to hug each one of my boys and girls. We know that sooner or later they will get sick with something, something there's no cure for. So we have to love them as much as we can everyday, to look for the maximum health we can afford to give them. And pray that life is good enough to keep you in this world to look for their safety.

:iconbeautifulwolf: is a loving mommy and a wonderful artist. Please give her a visit on her gallery and her website, you'll fall in love with her family as I did the moment she sent me links to their pictures. I wish someday somebody could feature one of her pics (or more) on the DD section because she deserves to be seen and people will be very lucky to watch this big family in her always candid photos. She makes wonderful dog and ratties sculpted charms, all of them look so beautiful and cheerful, I wish that someday I'll have enough $ on my paypal to get me one or two of them. If you like dogs, cats, ratties and beautiful warm photographs, check her site, she's amazing and I'm sure she'll enjoy sharing her family with new people.

Sorry for the long post, sadness moment happening here. Thanks for all your support

Have a wonderful week
Love
Diana
