I Am Back

[PD186]

I started a couple of little projects but got myself down as I was making little mistakes but I recently got stamping step 2 book and had a close look at the projects and noticed that the same mistakes that I have made were in the book. This got me thinking about it and I suddenly realised that it is these imperfections in my work that make it special and not mass produced.

With this new outlook on leathercraft I have again started with some small projects and I am very pleased with how it is going.

So anyone starting don't get down if you stuff up it is the best way to learn how to do it right.

I can understand where you are coming from. I get pretty bent out of shape when I screw something up, but handcrafted items are always going to have variances. I feel like even the people who are the best at anything, be it leatherworking, woodworking, any kind of art or craft, can find imperfections in their work. It's about learning from the imperfections, they will never go away completely, but it takes mess ups to get better!
