The next part of the evening is kind of a blur... I think the awards began as we were being served dinner... yes, because I remember waiting to eat. I got the vegetarian meal. I couldn't really tell what it was at first! I had to ask... and the waitress also had to ask! lol It looked interesting! Like a dark mush covered cauliflower? With some... stuff on the side? It was dark! I'm sure it looked amazing in the light. Turns out it was a Stuffed Portobello with a tomato based sauce, a side of beans, and quinoa! Right up my ally! I couldn't wait to eat it, but I did. I was in the 3rd group out of 16! I really didn't want to go up there with spinach in my teeth! So, I sat there and listened and watched. Which way are people walking off the stage after? When do I go up? How closely are people standing to the microphones? Fwewwf! What was I going to say!?! Thank you, oooobviously, but I have so many things I want to say! For now though, I would keep it short and sweet.

Then came the Emmys for Group #3... my name was announced!!!! I walked myself behind a big black curtain, and waited to be offered the stage along with my very own golden lady. Ok, I was a little more nervous now. I don't remember how I felt on stage... I just remember walking towards the Emmy, taking the Emmy from a couple of smiley ladies, walking up to the podium, and recalling what I wanted to say, saying it, and being REALLY happy that I didn't freeze up. Looking back at the video it was a little fast and not too inspiring, but genuine and candid, yes! I'll get it! There's always something to work on and I'm grateful to have a reason. :)

When I walked off stage there was a table with a bunch of boxes and someone asked to take my Emmy! but.. but... They smiled and told me oh, this is just a dummy Emmy. Yours is here! They handed me a big black bag with a big black box inside! Relief! I passed on the interview. I just wanted to go someplace and see within the big black box! I walked out into the lobby, opened it up, and got myself a few solo pictures in front of the step and repeat.

The rest of the night was a breeze for me! I got to sit back, enjoy my dinner which was SO DELICOUS, and watch my dear friends accept their golden ladies! Daisy Belle was awarded 5 out of 5 Emmys! Everyone on our team was awarded an Emmy in their category! William was awarded two!! The Emmys were  heavy and beautifully crafted. They came with a plate engraved with the winner's name, a screwdriver to attach the name plate, and a cleaning cloth. How thoughtful! We were like kids on Christmas morning, opening up our presents and putting the pieces together so we could play with, and admire our new toys.

Throwback time!

Back in the early 2000's I was obsessed with the idea of learning to animate. After 6 months of studying Autodesk Maya textbooks and learning how to create an animation from the ground up, I created an intro video for Solar Light Films that I would like to share with you today! I hope you enjoy the story of a butterfly that morphs into a bright light in the heavens. Watch the Butterfly Intro Video here.

A brief peek into the Production Design for Daisy Belle's Lavender Lady. I hope this will inspire ingenuity and determination in your creative process! Push the limits of your perceived abilities, have courage, and go make something great! 

I'd love to see what miniatures you have created! Feel free to post in the comments!
