Just do it.
My imagination leads me to see what I want to create, but how to make it happen can be be a different matter.
I pictured this mosaic with ceramic flowers, titled Ring of Posies for over a year, knowing I wanted to make it for the Garden Party Show.
It came together, but not without a few mishaps, but in the end I was pleased with the finished work.
Will I make more? You bet. Will I not wait to finish it until a week before an exhibition? Definitely.
