3/7/2023 0 Comments Everwild bookNeither Nick or Allie is ready to take their coin yet, nor as it turns out, is Mary. Now she’s demonizing Nick as the “Chocolate Ogre,” perpetuating a self-fulfilling prophecy that threatens to overwhelm Nick’s operation and reveal Mary’s true colors. Left to her own extreme ideas of what’s really best for the children of Everlost, her selfish ideals have begun to sink to new lows. The dynamics differ for each, but in the end all Allie wants is to find her home Nick wants to destroy Mary Hightower. Their days are not consumed by tedious repetition or useless patterns Mary Queen of Snots would approve of. Like everything else that fails to get to where it’s going, they’ve settled in an unpredictable routine that’s become more like a mission. There are dozens of polymer clay websites focused on the how-to for both projects and techniques, and I’ve found hundreds of helpful hints, but often I am frustrated by the lack of documented failures.Allie and Nick have been in Everlost for a few years. Layout For the purpose of describing the landscape, assume that the Wonderwood is the center of Everwilde. The biomes are connected through a brook that reaches far into every biome. It consists of a patchwork of biomes, most of which inhabited. Also, this latest endeavor lends more purpose to blogging, which - although I’d love to keep everyone up to date with my escapades - has never been appealing in the sense of “OOOO LOOK WHAT I DID!” (this is why I have a husband, right?) But the idea of sharing my failures, of documenting the journey from stupid newbie to perhaps one day completely professional, does appeal to me. Everwilde is the realm where the enchantimals dwell and which they are tasked to protect. Mary Hightower, self-proclaimed queen of lost children and dangerous fanatic, is determined to keep Everlost’s children trapped.

Nick the Chocolate Ogre wants to help the children of Everlost reach the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a long way to go in my journey, and so much of what I’ve done in the last 3 years has been exploration … so much so that I fret over the amount of room I have to store equipment and supplies vs. About The Book Everlost, the limbo land of dead children, is at war. I can’t begin to list the number of frustrations I faced, both in my lack of knowledge for human anatomy, and how incorporating some mixed-media elements failed miserably because I had no idea which tools to use, or lacked the right ones, or even the lack of proper materials. After 2 failures, I managed to create something nearly human in form, and while she’s not a perfect replication, she managed to adopt a wonderful charm all her own. In this case, I discovered that, yes, with practice I can conquer human anatomy. It’s always challenging and, in many cases, rewarding these commissions tend to push me WAY out of my comfort zone and suddenly I discover I can manage something I never dreamed possible. I find it odd, but inspiring at times when people see the work I do and then ask for things I’ve never done. I borrowed one of Levi’s whiskers to paint her facial features and even that was too big for some details. Two of those teeny glass marbles one can find in the scrap booking section would have worked for her eyeballs, had I the where with all to buy iris colored ones, but instead I tried faking her eyes with liquid clay and water based, heat-set oil paints. Venus - detailTo give you an idea though, my version of Venus is under 3 inches in height, and her head is roughly the size of an 8 mm bead, perhaps a tad smaller even. :/ I’m happy to report that I’m down to 2 of them now, and if I can’t get one of these to my satisfaction, it may be time to graduate to one of the fancier for-sale themes. So for those of you who got to see one of the many hundreds of themes I tested yesterday for functionality, I hope it wasn’t one that threatened to make your eyes bleed. I have just enough programming knowledge that I find this irksome - knowing I *can* fix those things, but also knowing that I have neither the time nor the desire to invest the hours per day it takes to do that back end programming. As I get busier away from the computer, too, I require something that’s easier to maintain, and most of the themes I’ve had aren’t. I’m old school enough that I believe web design should be clean and easy to read, but I don’t want boring. I went through dozens of free themes yesterday trying to find one that does everything I require without looking either too bland or way too busy. Due to the constant advancement of technology, it’s nearly impossible to find a simple, easy to maintain theme for WordPress.
