❤really enjoyed seeing your process. The second one was especially good results. Your teaching is excellent. I look forward to sewing more from you.

Hi Natasha, I really enjoyed watching this video, and watching how much more the trees came to life throughout the video! It really stood out to me hearing you talk about how you don't want the 'same same' - same shape, the same size, etc - I think I would have thought that that is a good thing to develop a pattern or continuity, but I like how you said you don't want it to be boring. You spoke about incubation or day dreaming, I need that, I thought about it most when I was studying and writing essays- once I had done my research and read so much it needed time to stew (like a slow cooker) in the back of my mind for a few days, and I'd just 'check on it' every now and then when I was doing a medial task, and then when I sat down to write it would come much quicker and just flow so beautifully than if I didn't have the time to let it stew. I think I do the same thing still with cooking if I am thinking about a new recipe or wanting to experiment with a new food. I feel really inspired to pull out my mini sketch book and give a few things a go...

I'm glad that this has sparked you to think about how differences can make things interesting.

@jacindawilson5927 Hey Jacinda thanks for your encouraging words. I think we all need to dream a lot more

The sketchbook is the Officeworks Born brand. Ha ha we both tell each other what's what. So lucky to have you as my artist friend. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you bring these trees to life. That trunk on the first one is divine and how you refer to the accent color as a surprise. I love that so much. I'm stealing it lol. You're so inspiring. That second tree is gorgeous and floats my boat.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I hope you steal all my ideas, because I love stealing your ideas too!
