It's been a while since I've uploaded any art here. (Quite a while actually. I hadn't realised how long until I started writing this!)

There's one main reason for this: Boots.
Someone asked me to make a pair of boots for them. They were very persuasive, and after informing them that I had no idea how to make boots and had never done it before I agreed to give it a try. I then worked on them for a few months on and off until I hit a point where I just didn't know how to continue on. And then I just stopped, for the longest time.

I still intended on finishing them, though, and while I had that project on the go I didn't feel right working on other projects 'cos I should have been working on the boots. I still haven't finished them, and now I only have two weeks left. I've moved on a fair bit since the summer and now there's a chance I might get them finished in time. You'll see in a couple of weeks if I do.

I have made a few other items since I last posted but there is another reason for them never making it up on this site: Birthdays.
I keep making gifts of jewellery for people as presents and being quite proud of my work, and then forgetting to take photographs of them before I give them away!
So I have been making stuff, you just won't get to see it unless I sneak into their houses, steal back my gifts and photograph them.
Or just admit I forgot... but that would be embarassing!

tl;dr:
This is just me moaning about how I bit off more than I can chew in my current project.
For those of you who don't care and aren't subscribed to my scraps here is a picture of some amusing chocolate packaging: [link]
