Experimentation
Every artist, crafter or designer needs to experiment with ideas and techniques in order to get better and to develop their work. It's something I teach students every day at school and even try to encourage them to take chances / make mistakes. If they don't give things a go how will they ever know how to explore ideas and experiment? ....and ultimately how to get better.

I completely and utterly agree with you. If we have any hope of producing something original we must be prepared to take risks and push ourselves beyond our comfort zone. I recently came across this quote " if you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough". Love all your new experiments Helen xxxxxx
