Push Boundaries - Step Out of Your Comfort Zone


Go big. Then go even bigger. Elaborate on your technique. Expand your material. Add to your scale. Build on your concept. Flesh out the detail. Develop your textures. Fill out the dimensions, Embellish. Embroider And magnify the scale of your work.  To challenge yourself. And revive the mixture of anticipation. And anxiety. That makes your heart flutter. And stomach turn. In expectation. And excitement.

Eager to hear your thoughts. Feedback. Input. And tales. Of innovation. Inspiration. And play. Especially re-use. Re-purpose. Re-make. Or re-imagine techniques. That can be included in the SkillsLog.

Warmest Regards
