Three Weeks for Dreamwidth: Day 4
Monday, April 28th, 2025 04:45 pmIs this day 4 or day 2, since I didn't get a post up at all over the weekend? I'm going to say it's day 4 regardless.
One of my goals is to eschew perfectionism, which has often stopped me from getting better at hobbies. I'm really good at researching hobbies, buying all the tools, organizing my workspace, etc. But then I get too nervous about "messing up" that I don't even want to start. Coloring has been like that for me. I hate to waste my supplies or "ruin" a pretty coloring page if I make a mistake. But isn't a book of pages that are never colored in so much worse than a book that shows improvement?
I'm committed to just starting, trying to enjoy the experience of coloring itself, and not caring so much about the outcome. And I'd like to start sharing some of my results as well. Mainly because I think I'd enjoy looking back on them and being proud of myself for taking that leap.
So here's my progress so far (most of these were done a while back but I just finished the most recent one a few weeks ago):
( Art is back here - cut for large images! )
