struggling

I've been having a hard time lately making things work. I like how my first piece is looking but the second one was just really getting me down. I decided to just start on a new one and I think I like where it's going. Unfortunately, my computer shut down and I did not save it, after doing A LOT of work. I'm hoping that I can remember everything I did and recreate it some time this weekend. I was going to post it on here today but obviously I can't do that :/ I'm going on a retreat for the weekend so I won't be able to work on it much, but hopefully I can figure it all out soon! uugggghhh.
