Opinions

Are you affected by other's opinions of your creations? I honestly never thought that it was a big deal to me. Until....this set of beads I made.



Black and white rolled in some pixie dust to give them a bit of gleam. Same dust really shows up differently on the black and white, but I kind of liked them. Then Jeff said the white ones were so pretty, but the black ones look like a bad spray paint job. Now I just can't look at them without wanting to get out the spray paint and "fix" them.

  2. I am affected by other people's opinions too, and I think even more so if it's family. My husband has definite ideas about how things should look and it's not always the same as mine. It's not always easy to have faith in our own creativity!

  6. They are pretty, but I know what you mean about other people's opinions! I have taken apart bracelets because someone's opinion made it so I couldn't look at them anymore!
