One of the hardest things for me...

Is learning how to not be so critical of my own work.

I see how people around me are so wonderfully creative, and then I look back at my own pieces and think "Oh, my. GODS."

I think it's because I can see and feel where my preceived flaws are in my creations. I know in my head that these flaws are what makes each piece unique and different, and sets it apart as handmade/handwrapped.. but at the same time, I hold such high expectations for myself. Never good.

My challenge for myself tonight will be to design a piece that is completely random, free form, and messy, so I can see the beauty in the unconventional.
