Progress Report

February 21, 2019 No Comments

Little Shiva has elected not to bother speaking, so I guess he intends to check the website daily forever whilst not having the balls to actually speak. You don’t either get what you want or move on that way, sorry.

The lining is now looking okay, although some adjustments to the base design will have to be made before waterproofing and preparing it for the windows.

I also have to do the tongues, which will take up quite a bit of time, and given the weight at this point, I think I will have to think quite carefully about where to resin it. I do not want it stuck in the studio forever because I cannot get it out of the door!

The base of the egg, which I will be working on from next week, is still in the early stages, and the carpet parts have not been done yet either, which is holding up other work as I want the chair to be the new centerpiece of the collections.

I still haven’t located something strong enough for the base of it. I will work on this once I am working less than 15 hours a day.

Still lonely. Time for a new direction. I have an excellent idea for a new story.

Religion and Morality

February 11, 2019 No Comments

Well this last year has been quite educational. Only having spent much time with athiests I had not been around religious people much at all in recent years.

This year has changed all that, we have had the evil Hindu, who was actually the most morally upstanding of the three.

An immoral Christian, who apparently found it pleasant to attempt to commit adultery whilst telling me how inferior everyone else was.

A polygamist Muslim, as a person my favourite at the moment.

Of all of us, I with no practised religion, actually come out on top for moral behaviour, although it is interesting how Asian and Middle Eastern people see morality.

It all seems terribly Catholic to me, the idea that your fate is in God’s hands, so there is very little you can do about being a weak little human. Almost as if your religion is an excuse.

Oddly, in terms of doing the right thing, the evil Hindu wins. The Muslim, whilst a far nicer person, is more arty about it, finding flowery reasons for things that I can only dream about, and the Christian was a dismal failure.

For my next trick, I will be going out into the wider community for a large scale project designed to solve a number of problems at once. Ina will not be joining me on this trip, although I now have several useful skills.

I want to hear from Little Shiva aka Staring Brat 2. Inadisguise@mail.com or betterpersonproject@gmail.com. You don’t have to talk to me in person unless you want to.

Thanks,

Ina

Rambling post update

February 10, 2019 No Comments

I haven’t posted in what seems like ages. I have been worried about other things.

Work is going well in several respects and I am reasonably happy with direction at the moment.

Little Shiva’s chair is going very well, and I think the lining will be complete in the next two weeks or so. Many thanks to my sponsors for that.

I need to do a little bit of writing, and am about to do a large amount of research in and around the city. This should be interesting and the most organised piece of work I have done in a while.

I would like to speak to Staring Brat 2. I know this is highly unlikely, but recent events have shown me that I should request this anyway. The email is at the bottom of the page should he wish to get in touch.

Very tired tonight, so that will have to do.
