Work in Progress Wednesday
I have started working on my word of the month journal page for December. Yay for me! I stuck to this challenge for the whole year. This page is a bit busy so the word is a little hard to see. In the upper left, I have started the word harmony. I am using Sadi which is used in gold work. I have had this stuff for quite and while and never tried it. I find it rather difficult. It is so very fragile, unexpectedly so. I am okay with the imperfection. This is the first try after all. I always learn from my experimentation and that is a good thing. I am willing to try new things and post about them. Some people are not willing to be that vulnerable but I am. I hope it makes me more relatable! I hope it helps to make others brave!
I think all Goldwork supplies are difficult to use, especially if you want them to have the 'perfect' Goldwork look, which of course is - perfect.

Every material can look good in the right environment. On a page of an altered book, where text is scattered, 'imperfect' writing looks just right.
Being okay with imperfection is the best goal. Why is that so hard for us sometimes?
