What was called the recession in the UK when we had the Thatcher years.

I remember reports of photographers and art dir. committing suicide. The present economic climate or recession seems to have been kept very quiet about such events a possible media black out.

The media doesn't care about artists unless you're in music or acting, unfortunately.

I have these molds so far (but I haven't used the Smiley Face mold yet)

Roses & Buds
Sea Creatures

Springtime

I don't do them exactly like you see, though. I use different colors and usually not the same exact coloring each time. smile

Those are so cute.  I actually love the Princess one, lol.  I'm surprised at the detail too.

I don't remember that. I recently heard bad things about Subway, though. Otherwise, it used to be my favorite place.

YAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's fantastic! And the avatar is pretty swell, too. smile

I need to get some more supplies and tools so I can do this better and make them look nicer. More mixing bowls so I can mix up more colors. Some more detailed brushes or maybe use toothpicks for the really fine lines and stuff like that.

I actually enjoy doing these. I just can't eat too much chocolate so my joy is making them and gifting them out. smile

I think I like the shark the best. He has nice teeth.

For the first time ever 2 days ago I felt like offing myself.

It came, it passed, and it's a new day.

I'm sure that now that new low has been created I'll visit there again someday,

but what goes down must come up, what goes up must come down.

Unless you're a sexy unicorn in space.

No waaaay! Stupid dresses! Stupid flowers!
And lighthouses rule!
You don't like...the lighthouse, then you suck
What is this? The sea horse captain?
What is this sea horse? Sea sea shell party?
Who didn't invite me? xx(
Why didn't I get invited? :'(
Sea horse, sea hell!
What is this? Get real! I'm in love with sea horses!
I'm in love with them! They're so...beautiful and cute!
I'm in LOVE with the sea horses! They're FUCKIN' UNREAL!
I love them! They're like all those little clocks!
I love them, I love sea horse things and I love looking at them and I love sea shells I love sea things and I love things with...sea shells and sea horses on them!

Like blankets...like towels...and lollipops!

I love them sea horses forever-er-er!

Watching as someone else let me down, I tried to encourage a friend in pain who only rebuked me and told me I don't understand.

Speaking to my landlord, I related how the event of something happening to my babies would make me want to kill myself, he said, "That ain't gonna happen. Nothing is worth that."

*sigh* Some people just don't understand.

but this is why I'm here. This is why this thread.
someplace that people understand (or at least try to)
someplace where people believe in you even when you don't believe in yourself
someplace where people honestly care

and on a site where it's all about selling oneself it's very uplifting to find that kind of spirit. smile

I hurt like all hell today, Mike. Took some seriously heavy punches. I'm still in the fight, but.... OUCH!!!!! y'know?
