well, Margaret at Highland Stables has been back for about 2 weeks now, and i am officially hired! she doesn't have money to pay me with but i will be able to take Bug over there and ride in their arena, also i have been able to ride a couple of the horses in training, including Nita, the Lippy mare that i fell in love with. so i am basically a working student for now and we'll see were things go

this weekend this guy, Carl (can't spell his last name), is coming out to Highland to do a clinic. the really REALLY cool thing is he is from the Spanish Riding School!!! he doesn't really like having people standing around watching as he teaches, but i am going to be grooming 2 horses so i actually get to watch a little :happy: anyhow, i am extremely sore from cleaning and cleaning this past week but it will all be worth it.

ok, here is an actual art update

i haven't been doing a huge amount of art this past week but i have been playing with super sculpy. i have come to the conclusion that if you want to do small sculptures but don't have access to a kiln then this stuff is the best way to go. it stays soft(ish) until you bake it in the oven and its pretty easy to work with. if it gets a little to warm and soft from being worked with it tend to kind of collapse on itself, but there are ways to work around that. the only other problem i can see is that its kinda expensive, like $12 for a pound or something like that... i need to see if i can buy it in bulk from somewhere online for cheaper, but i haven't had the time...

gotta go, i need to get up early tomorrow so i need to find my way to bed. if anything interesting happens i'll let you know
