He wanted us to sing in full voice w/ confidence first, the "being in tune" would come. We had to be willing to fail "Right Out LOUD!"<br />Besides, quilters, seamstresses and woodworkers all know that a mitered join is always interesting and gives a better line! You just had to figure that out with metal! At least I hope you did, Can't wait to see it!<br />Keep it up, you're a great inspiration.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813537507981139260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205234273837988960.post-37319731910119799722016-08-02T16:42:37.061-07:002016-08-02T16:42:37.061-07:00Susan, that's excellent!

Lots of times I will look at one weeks/months later and go "ya know, if I did this and then twisted it the other direction and then mashed it down, that'd be pretty cool!".<br />Some of my best ideas were tangents off of failures.<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205234273837988960.post-14421268694220442702016-08-02T13:54:19.042-07:002016-08-02T13:54:19.042-07:00I love that!

Creativity is not much use if you can't don't at least try turning it into something more tangible. <br />I remember one my kids' teachers in primary school (elememtary in your lingo LOL) whose maxim was 'have a go'. That stuck with me, I think, more than the kids. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960273044650262080noreply@blogger.com
