EricDobson Report post Posted September 19, 2010 Viewing this is a healthy reminder that art is for its own sake... or at least it had better be, because there's always someone better at it than you, and probably a lot better. Just keep practicing. Practice is the work and the reward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8thsinner Report post Posted September 19, 2010 Indeed, Finally got to look through it and yes, theres some really nice work in there. I wouldn't mind sitting having a chat with a few of them. It does remind me that we are really very modern on this forum. I think we should all endeavor to study the older ways more... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
entiendo Report post Posted September 20, 2010 I made my own heart necklace in roo with all 1/16" string and it turned out pretty nice, but my buttons still weren't as perfect as the original. The quirts though!!! OMG! beautiful! I love quirts. I wish I could make them more often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
