Morning folks...just a few bits and pieces to finish and The NEC kits will be done and dusted...a bit of a tedious repetitive task but hey every job has it's "why am I doing this" moments. It seems so long since I made something just for the fun of it and like most crafters...I find myself going through phases of not being happy with anything I create...beating myself up when things don't go according to plan...caught up in the striving for perfection mindset until common sense kicks in and the "embrace imperfection" ethos of my hero Tim Holtz gets me back on track.
So I'm sharing my "throw caution to the wind/get rid of all your inhibitions/the best fun you can have with your clothes on" Palette Art project...
I gessoed...spritzed...dabbed and spritzed again...die cut...fiddled and faffed...drybrushed and stencilled
a great way to use up all the little bits and pieces you've been hoarding...
and at the end of it all...I looked like The Yeti and the cubbyhole resembled a war zone but...
am I happy...YES
is it perfect...NO
does it matter...NOT A JOT
See you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx

Hi Kath,
ReplyDeleteI have to say that every time I attempt a craft project I end up in embracing imperfection lol. If my work was as 'imperfect' as yours I'd be over the moon...I love it!! I have to say I'm a little bit jealous as I see you have used a honeycomb die amongst the other glorious...stuff!! I have been looking for such a die for an age now and haven't managed to find one within my budget.
