How about another print that just says "I'm SO proud of you" That could be a good reminder to celebrate yourself as much as you celebrate others!The Hungry Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04199479164613881262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586947067225526485.post-51211478575258681282010-10-13T08:31:51.135-04:002010-10-13T08:31:51.135-04:00A very appropriate post for me as I just found out...A very appropriate post for me as I just found out on Monday that my design entry for a competition missed getting into the final 5 (it was 6th) because I didn't get enough public votes. I felt so disillusioned and started to wonder if it was all worth it as I work full time and am spending every spare minute doing artwork to try to make it more than a hobby. But I recently got a tattoo on my wrist saying Carpe Diem (seize the day) as a reminder to me and my husband to be to do just that so I will stop being so hard on myself and keep on doing what I love (and don't even get me started on the extra poundage which I lost and then put back on before our wedding in 5 weeks time!)<br /><br />btw, I just love your work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586947067225526485.post-64981873945652865832010-10-13T00:59:39.717-04:002010-10-13T00:59:39.717-04:00I love these prints!

It makes us push our own envelopes a little more. If we don't, we might stop growing in our work (read passion). Take it from another artist: your work is amazing and I look forward to see more and more of your work. Keep pushing yourself and once in a while you stop for a moment, look in the mirror and give yourself a pat on the shoulder because you know you have earned it!Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837549668818746188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5586947067225526485.post-12939490654455607142010-10-12T12:48:16.433-04:002010-10-12T12:48:16.433-04:00Isn't it funny how we can all of a sudden hate...Isn't it funny how we can all of a sudden hate out bodies? It's like everything can be going well and something will happen unrelated to my weight and it always comes down to "and I'm fat!" It's ridiculous! haha! I totally know how you feel! <br /><br /><br />I am loving your blog. I found you via Scottyboy and Katygirl's giveaway. Your prints are amazing! You are a wonderful artist!

Your artwork is as beautiful and uplifting as ever...maybe even moreso this time.<br /><br />I was hard on myself, too, when my Eva painting was rejected over the weekend, and then realized it wasn't what they were looking for (it didn't fit their theme, even it is a "human image"). I still think it's a nice painting.<br /><br />I'm sure you look curvy and beautiful, my friend. Happy Monday to you, too!! <br /><br />Hugs, IlyIleanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11200869126695231050noreply@blogger.com
