THIS is what happens when you let go of perfection. Do you ever clean all that left over paint on your Gel Plate? I'm gonna show you a reason to not do that! And more importantly, how when it's headed for the trash, maybe take a second look. Ask yourself if I just breathe, and let go - can I save it?
Failing is part of the process sometimes. And in that process, you can unlock magic. This is the story of the simple gel print, the one that wasn't even supposed to be anything helped me to break through the worst creative block in my 25 year art career
Ask any questions and tell me in the comments how YOU did!!
