Periodic reminder that the only way to waste art supplies is to not use them You deserve to use your #art supplies, regardless of your current skill level 🩷 This message brought to you as I stare at a blank piece of charcoal paper and agonize over whether I deserve to destroy it with my unskilled hands, to say nothing of whats about to happen to these innocent, unsuspecting oil pastels 😭

@Irenetherogue +1000 i sometimes go long periods between having time to do artsy/craftsy stuff but i always feel so much better when i get to do said arts/crafts and having the supplies handy makes this easier.

@Irenetherogue Come, we'll both go make something together. I send my encouragement, from someone who loves making art, but often hesitates, and has some supplies I've had wayyyyyy too long, unused. Let's create! It's all just trying, and it's just an exercise to try. Trying takes away the pressure, it's an experiment - can't wait to see what you create!

@Irenetherogue Those objects are lonely and unfulfilled. They want to be used! They don't judge the result, just the joy of doing.

@Irenetherogue Oil pastels are not innocent, they deserve whatever's coming to them.
