I can't get enough of that meme....

kistha1) I know you've done a lot of costuming/mask making in the past. What do you think your next project will be? Anything you've been mulling over in the back of your mind?
I actually have five masks currently cluttering up my head and I have to admit, my art not having any outlet is really, really starting to bug me. I haven't even made icons in ages...
1. Fall Bird - This mask is a fall leaves bird spirit mask and outfit. This mask has been on hold for a while mostly waiting for someone to model it - since I prefer to make custom masks - and I want someone who is rail thin, and wouldn't mind a body suit. I work on part of it every now and again as it involves a great deal of tiny raffia braids. I originally intended to have it modeled and photographed with the driftwood horse sculpture that used to be in the Kirkland Park on 85th. (Not that horse, but an example go here.)
2. Shattered Selves - This one is on hold as I waffle back and forth about wear-ability. I want to use real mirror shards, but if I do, it won't be wearable. Also, I think it would be better without eye-holes but I waffle about that too. And, really I need to pick up some skills at heating mirrors without discoloring the reflections on accident before I even think of starting. I'd use my face for the mask on this one.
3. Winter Queen - I could start on this one immediately if I got my craft room fixed and had the time. In a pinch I could use my face, and might (hard to plaster one's own face). The hardest part of this one would be the icicle crown. Mostly cause I'm picky and it's expensive.
4. Holly King - About what it sounds like...this one is still mostly ghostly, and I'd need a guy. Could go with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dthon and I and have another "couple" mask set.
5. The Sea - This one is tough, since I can't find a medium that I like for the water portion. It will have shells all over though, and I know I'll be using mussels on long strings to make a nice clacking sound, I just don't know exactly what I'd be hanging them on, or from. Maybe I'll get it eventually.
2) I know that you are a great reader. What character did you identify with the most growing up? How about now?
I cannot really think of a character I identified with the most, I spent a lot of time pretending I was some sort of animal - rabbits, horses, big cats...anything but human. *ironic smile* I know that I loved many literary characters, and I definitely liked Galadriel, but that was from the cartoons. I didn't realize for a long time how much I had absorbed from Leia either. I also felt very close to Guinevere when I was younger. Now, I tend to identify with more than one character, more the facets of character within a character. Now....Delenn from B5, Ista from Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold, Polgara from Eddings and while I've never identified with any particular character - I have overly identified with Mercedes Lacky's Hearlds and the Hawkbrothers (Taelsadrin).
3) If cost, space, federal regulations and even reality were no issue, what kind of shelter would you live in (igloo, tree house, yellow submarine)? Describe it and explain why.
I have three different choices in that regard: Although the place I'd like to live best is my own private island.
A living space all made of continuous marble, with radiant heating/cooling (water/sun based) with no right angles, and all the modern convinces - anything that has to be square (ie: TV and such would be hidden unless being used.) Apparently though this would drive my husband mad and really, if I can build something similar someday, it's more likely to be a temple than a house and I'd love it to be on a private beach/island.
A Victorian house on the outside, but with an open floor plan within. Secret rooms and passageways, a tower, and at least one creek running through it. On a huge estate, with open fields and gardens surrounded by forest on all sides - preferably a Ceder forest with one very long driveway and ocean front on one side.
A cross of Lothlorien and Rivendell from the movies just off a beach.
4) You mentioned that I have a variety of interests. What is one aspect of my life/personality/yadda yadda that you have difficulty reconciling with the whole? Or, if this is an egotistical question for me to ask -- what is one aspect of you that doesn't seem to fit into your demeanor/life?
None that I know of actually. I don't see much dichotomy between your interests or the sides of your personality I've seen. The part of me that wouldn't fit my life is the part that 99% of people don't know about. However other people tell me they are surprised when I go all deep and slow - they expect me to always be quick and excitable.
5) I'd like to know more about this failed purpose that you mentioned but realize that you may not want to go into it more in this format. So I give you the option to
Meme rules :
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Me, Me!!!" while waving your hand in the air.
2. I will respond by asking you five questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.

5) I'd like to know more about this failed purpose that you mentioned but realize that you may not want to go into it more in this format. So I give you the option to
a) discuss the lost purpose oryeah, not in this format, for sure. Let's just say I have a belief (and have since I was a child) that I was put on this earth to do one thing, and I didn't manage to do it.
b) tell me about something that pulled you through a difficult time in your life.The one thing that gets me through difficult times in my life is sheer stubborn will. I will not give in, I will not fail, I will not falter. Sometimes it just makes the pain sharper... deeper. For a particular instance: I spent a lot of time in high school hunted, and terrified - and at one point the people who'd gotten me into the mess all abandoned me. I thought a lot about killing myself, mostly because it would be quicker than what I thought was likely to happen to me. The thing that got me through, ironically enough, was a book series. I was reading the David Eddings' Belgariad, and not all the books had come out yet, and I told myself I couldn't die until I had finished the story. By the time the story had ended, my suicidal tendencies had long since passed, and I had decided that I would meet violence with violence. It worked out OK.
