The 2 before Hair Fair

Yes...I've been rather silent lately. I think the term I'm looking for is 'burn out'. The husband was out of town for two weeks which meant I got slide into complete debauchery. Pizza, tacos, diet coke galore and going to bed at 7 am after an all nighter of some project I'd been dying to do. I even replaced the silicone around the tub and scrubbed the nooks and crannies (including the grout) with a toothbrush. Yes, I'm insane. My husband tells me this often.
Everyone is gearing up for Hair Fair. Fortunately this year I have a better understanding of what to expect so the panic shouldn't be as bad. I have one style completed with three more in the works although I'm rather apprehensive about one. The style required a whole new set of textures and will look great...if I can manage to pull it off. That's a big *if*. I may end up putting it on the back burner to devote more time to it if I can't get it to the point where I'm happy with it. With that said, these could be the last two releases out for a little while. It all depends on how far along I get with the Hair Fair stuff.
This one is Angel which is a unisex style. It's shown in Blonde Volcano which is the texture the demo is in. The fringe that encircles the head is flexi.
This one is Gigi. I have no idea why I called it that. (Just roll with it, okay?) I didn't realize it until I went to write a description of it but this one could be called a Victorian style. I've incorporated a few sculpties here and there for fringe. The center picture is shown in Gingersnap while the other two pictures are shown in Burnt Umber which is the color of the demo.
As a final note, I realized I let my own rule be violated - Never interfere with a creative vision. Over the past couple of months I started to listen to the suggestions of others which was in complete opposition with my creative urges. As a result, I was left feeling frustrated and lack luster about the whole creation process. It was something that snuck up on me and I didn't realize it was happening until I made my first style for Hair Fair. The creation process flowed, it was a joy to create and I was completely happy with the results. So, the moral of the story is...(and I'm not trying to be nasty when I say this) keep them to yourself. Instead find a designer that suits your needs and tastes. Otherwise you'll just end up frustrating a creative energy with well meaning advice. And I'm not building anymore 'everyday hair' ...unless I get excited about actually creating it.
