I am the world's biggest idiot.

I've been working hard on my zombie burlesque dancer. But I made the fatal mistake of tilting the overhead projector forward when projecting her onto my painted background. It didn't lool so obvious when she was just chalked in, but as I started filling her in with colour it became more and more obvious just how hideously big her head was compared to her body. I'm thining, hey what the hell? I look at the drawing and it looks beautifully proportionate and then looked back at the painting ... and I realised.

I threw a mini self hate tanty, cried and bit and had a whine and a moan. I didn't know whether to throw the whole thing in or try rectify it. Greazefest is on Sunday. Hell I'd be so far behind. I decided to get up and attack the canvas with a damp cloth. To my utter surprise the zombie girl disappeared in front of my eyes, leaving minimal damage to the blended backdrop. Hallelujah! Is there a god?

So I'm having to rework the background a tad to repaint the white spots where the paint has come off and just get the remainders of zombie blue/grey out of it. But other than that, if I work through the night and keep at it I might just get it done in time. Here's to hoping *fingers crossed*

Now back to work!
