This series has given me a lot of food for thought and helped me define my goals.
I think what’s described above is actually what I’m doing right now.
I’m showing my work. It’s far from perfect and it’s slow. But just like when I was sculpting, there is so much more to it than the finished product (I wrote a book illustrating the bronze process to show potential customers at the art shows).
I want to put myself out there as I’m learning this complex craft, partly to solidify what I learn and record my own progress, but also. . . As encouragement and to validate the work storytellers do behind the scenes.

You made me smile from ear to ear with that statement.
Our journeys are important, not only to us, but to those around us, IF we let them (by sharing).
How do you feel about yourself as you're doing this?
Do you feel like you're growing as a person.....and hopefully as an artist/writer?
