Love the imperfect heart and the perfection of all your observations on art-making! I'm a fledgling artist too and deeply appreciate beginner's mind. Some of my favorite creations were made the very first time I touched acrylic paint to canvas, first printed on a press, and the first time I hand-built with clay. I've also discovered how lovely it is to come back to a piece and add another layer, sometimes months or years later. Just this morning as I was reading your Friday Dispatch, I thought to add something new to a collage that had felt unfinished. So now a raven is sitting on a branch which holds a tiny gold key. No idea why, but I went with the fun of it! Why not?!
Blessed Be to all of our perfectly imperfect hearts which make us human!

Thank you, for this, Jena! Much love to imperfect hearts!
