Day 56. I'm back and I'm gonna be doing things differently. For one I will be going twice a week or so as opposed to once a day but I plan to have more time to devote per individual session this way. I'm starting this second run with doing a touch up on the chest that I didn't finish earlier. Progress continues. #rynthworks #Parasoul #bjd #bjdcustom #artist

Day 55. After some reflection on my situation, I have come to the decision to take a week off from the project. I feel that I've hit burnout and need time away from this project to allow my drive to recharge and come back refreshed. I will be coming back on the 15th. Progress on hold. #rynthworks #burnout #timeoff # dailypost #onhold

Day 54. I need a bit of a break so I decided to add up my daily times to see how many hours I've put into this thing. Turns out the answer is nearly 40 hours after almost 2 months. I'm running into some burnout but I'm not quiting. Some rearranging in my life is simply in order so I've got some thinkin to do. Progress is being tracked. #rynthworks #time #burnout #dailypost #progress

Day 53. Trying to make a socket for the abs to pivot in but I will need a good amount of reworking. It was the piece I most 'tossed together' so that aspect is coming back to bite me now.

Day 51. I decided that the elbow joint wasn't working right so I redid it. This new smaller joint looks and I feel functions much better. I was even able to add in a stopper that doesn't look out of place so the arm won't bend backwards. I'm happy with this outcome.

Day 50. I'm really tired tonight so didn't manage much but I started on the elbow joint. The way I'm making the joints doesn't seem right to me but I can still learn from it. Progress continues. #rynthworks #Parasoul #bjd #balljointeddoll #bjdartist #dolls #elbow #articulation #dailypost #progress

Day 48. Working on the forearm and for some reason I keep making it look like a calf. Maybe I'm simply rusty from havin a day off but nonetheless progress continues. #rynthworks #balljointeddoll #bjdcustom #sculpture #bjd #artist #artistsoninstagram #clay #dailyart #progresspic

I didn't get around to sculpting today as I was performing at a Barter Fair. This was what I got at it. No progress update tonight but there will be one tomorrow. Life continues. #rynthworks #barterfaire #loot #pendants #hipscarf #performance #dailypost #life

Day 47. Trying something out for the shoulder joint and seeing how it turns out. One thing I realized is things might go faster or easier if I had more tools than the ones in the pic. They're all I've been using so far aside from my fingers. I'll look into gettin some but I'll keep going with what I got for now.

Day 46. Here is her upper arm. I'm noticing I'm getting slightly faster at sculpting and its a bit of a morale booster. The joint parts still need doing but I have a base to work from now.

Day 45. I now have the hips to a point to where the sockets are technically functional. I think thats enough hipwork for now. I'd like to work on some other piece. Progress continues, #rynthworks #Parasoul #hipwork #bjddoll #sculpt #technically #clay #art #dailypost #progresspic

Day 44. What a difference having an actual piece to work with as opposed to simply an image. I was way off on how the socket should be. There's more to be done but now I'm on the right track.

Day 43. Today was kind of a hard day for me so I just tried to fill out some of the other hip. I need the socket made to do this right so this part can't really progress much more in that area. Still I kept it going for another day. Progress continues. #rynthworks #Parasoul #bjd #balljointeddoll #bjdcustom #dailypost #keepitgoing #onceaday #progresspic #progress

Day 42. Filled out the bulk of her left hip and it looks much less bizzare. I'm actually having to cut out the lower portion some to make room for proper articulation. I'm still fumbling without a proper ball socket so that might be my next direction to go.

Day 41. This is one of the most bizzare looking things I've ever made. I don't have the ball size for the hip socket yet so I had to guesstimate the size of it and I only got around to half of the pelvis. This all led to a very strange piece but it'll only look wierd for a little bit. (hopefully).

Day 40. I think for now this foot is sculpted to pretty much where it needa to be. Should be able to get back to another part after this. I'mthinkinf the hips next but I feel they're gonna be tricky.

Day 39. Taking the foot sculpt one step at a time. I don't have a reference for exactly what her foot looks like, just her shoes so I'm taking a best guess on it. So far so good I guess.
