We're finally getting to the end of the 2017 Progress Reports. Since only one picture was taken in November, November and December were combined into a single report. With my show out of the way and after getting some much needed rest, what remained of the year, I focused on Autumn Decay, the one piece that I wasn't able to finish in time for my show. The results ended up mostly as I expected. It looks fine, but I don't love it yet. Maybe it's because It looks too similar to some work I made in the past, or maybe it is because I haven't seen it in the show yet. I deliberately decided not to work on anymore projects after that. It allowed me to think more about what I wanted to do in 2018.
Even though it is already March and I'm very late with 2018, I decided that the next post will outline what I have planned for the year. After that, the January and February Progress Reports will be posted.

| 12/12/17: The black painting work on the back is done. As with other similar projects, the back doesn't need as much detail as the front, so white paint wasn't necessary. |
