Measuring Up
Measuring Up for me is to constantly challenge myself into creating, designing, writing, and thinking outside of the box. This could be my personal box or any box an idea is kept in.
I try to keep my work new, fresh, and interesting. I try to not become content, complacent or stagnant with the work I do, and the time that I spend doing these things. I also try to push my skill level out of my comfort zone and try new things.
Even though I have been creating on my own for a very long time, I still feel that a challenge offered by an outside source will help to push open the box lid, and push my skills somewhere I hadn’t thought of going before. These are the challenges that I have recently become a part of (you can find my entries on this blog under the Challenges category):
Rosie and Linda’s Awfully Big Art Adventure
Piecework Excellence in Needle Arts Awards 2009 Brooch Challenge
Piecework Excellence in Needle Arts Awards 2008 Pincushion Challenge
I challenge you to challenge yourself whenever you can! Christen
