One of my many artistic quirks is perfectionism. Insert scary da, da, DAAA! here. Oh the dreaded perfectionism.
When I get caught up in the evil binds of thinking a project has to be absolutely perfect or not at all....doing it not at all usually wins. Therefore, "Baby Steps". I have to keep taking baby steps in whatever new skill or task I'm trying to learn. Thus began the theory for Rule #3, "Baby Steps".
Does it always work? No. But I have to be kind to myself. I have to tell my own self to "don't be a hater" when it comes to what I create. Sometimes I have to say this several times. And then I keep moving forward.
I was really happy with the way that these two pages turned out. I wanted quirky colors, an odd version of pink and blue. And the paper doily pocket above holds a small inspiration/journal tag.
With a picture of, of course, a baby! Just another way to remind myself that I would not expect a baby to run a marathon the minute it first starts walking, and I should not expect marathon results from myself, when I've just begun creating. That makes baby steps, rule #3.
