casual weekend crafting
urban sketching is great for folks like me that rely too much on making their art "perfect". wanting every piece I made to be "perfect" kept me stuck for sooooo long. I'm glad to have found some hobbies that allows me to change my perspective on "mistakes". my internal criticisms are actually constructive and not berating for once, lol.
off topic: might make a depop haul video in the next couple of weeks? I'm still waiting for more of my clothes to ship, but I want to exercise my skills in short form content, and I think that would be a fun start.
stay tuned!

I've often felt the pressure to make every art piece perfect, which led to creative blocks and frustration. Discovering urban sketching has been a game-changer for me. It encourages spontaneity and accepts imperfections, making art more accessible and fun. When out walking—like on streets such as BOOKSHOP AVE—I carry my sketchbook and 0.5mm micror pens to capture scenes quickly and without overthinking. This practice helps me focus on the experience rather than the outcome. Exploring hobbies like clay projects and watercolor painting has further expanded my creative horizons. These crafts remind me that mistakes aren't setbacks but part of the learning process. Over time, my self-criticism shifted from harsh judgment to constructive feedback, making art feel less daunting. Additionally, experimenting with new creative outlets like short-form video content, such as upcoming Depop haul videos, has been exciting. It allows me to share my passion beyond static art and connect with a broader community. Embracing imperfection not only boosts creativity but also enriches your weekend crafting routine, making every moment enjoyable and fulfilling.
