Seriously though, I am just catching my breath after finally finishing this first run. This whole project, every single step was done the hard way (I mean it took me a stinkin' year to finish only one run of 13).
With that said, I really want to thank everyone who got in on these for being so patient, and to those who are on a wait list for the second run, I am going to begin production very soon.
So here comes the bad news: I will not be painting on this second run. I know this is probably going to make a lot of people upset, but I have just burnt myself out on this first run with the paint work. I really put everything I had in the paint on the first run, and literally taught myself how to paint with this project, and after a year of painting and stressing over every last detail, I need a rest from painting. And believe me, I have struggled over how I can make a compromise in some way so that I can continue painting, but I just can't sum up the motivation at this time. I want to produce the best product possible, but without the desire, regardless of price, I cannot produce my best effort.
Perhaps after I take some much needed time away from painting, I may offer to paint the blanks I could not paint now in the future, but I cannot promise this.
