About a year ago, I started making lots of art again.
I was never great at making art and I've always been surrounded by people with art degrees, so at one point my feelings of inadequacy took over and I stopped.
...But I forgot about the joy of creating and experimenting. I still screw things up, but I learn from those screw ups for next time. Or I salvage them.
I've tried a few different art forms since and I enjoy all of them!
So: go try things and make bad art. It will enrich your life ❤️

Arts I've (re-)tried recently, in no particular order, while I wait for my last project to be ready before going to bed 🙃: Candle-making

@EchteNachtraaf@mastodon.social The joy, right? It fills the heart. I should start again, my hands though are not very willing at the moment and I am afraid I am no longer as creative as I was. I also feel I don't deserve it yet. Sigh. It's good to see posts like this 💖
