Going Bust

See that over there?  That is my gift to myself.  I found a great deal on Ebay last week and I cannot wait to get it.  I am already quite critical of any work I do.  I often start and restart a project multiple times before deciding it is okay to leave.  So with the opening of my Etsy shop I feel more of a pressure (however self imposed) to get stuff created and out there.  That means, though, that I have to photograph the stuff which adds another unwanted layer of stress.  I like presenting my stuff on a live person, but I have been acting as both photographer and model which is not my most favored situation.  Plus, the natural light always seems to show up in those moments that I am having a lazy and not pretty day.  By the time I find the motivation to shower and primp the sun disappears.  Damn Germany and the gray skies.  So, it is my thought, and hope, that this pretty little bust will allow me to snap shots at any angle I want, while wearing my ratty pjs, and will look lovely in my room while not used as a prop.  Fingers crossed anyhow.
