That's really true isn't it? How may times have I started to chunk the piece in the trash thinking that I can't let it live on with the mistakes. Sometimes for calligraphy that is really the truth but I am finding out that with mixed-media paintings there are no mistakes---none. You can keep them all and as I always say...thank goodness for Gesso!!! And allowing myself to makes the mistakes....well, I am still working on that one---but I'm getting better.I wrote this several days ago. I just love this quote---and I love calligraphy. It is my artistic first love. Sometimes when I venture too far away from my pens they call to me,"Martha, come write with us...we have wonderful things to say..."
Yes, I do talk to my pens but sometimes I have to scold them when they are not behaving!
