When to throw away your art & creative work

As a lifelong maker-of-things, artist, and seamstress, I've accumulated a ton of creative work that I realistically can't all keep. So how do you decide what to part with?

In Sweden, a lot of people decorate for Christmas with maybe 5% heart-shaped ornaments. That could be a possibility IF you want to keep it.

I thought the same. I made these felt hearts for the Christmas tree as ornaments or they are great pincushions individually. Not saying to tear them apart, but in my case I just did a bunch of them but didn't tie them to this super cute girland, that's why I give them multiple purpose :)

I actually really like that idea; I might try that! :)

Yes! This is such a good thing to talk about! I'm lucky my creative outlets are music and blogging, but even I get this to an extent. I'll spend HOURS on my covers, only to record them and realise that even though I'm playing my best, it just isn't hitting the right spot. But then I think kf the joy and skills I got from learning so it's not time wasted. Also, that heart string is super cute 💖

Omg digital clutter from writing and recording songs is a real problem (not to mention physical notebooks) 😂😂 maybe I’ll cover that eventually haha.

Hey, I saw an old kibbe video of yours. It's obvious to me: You are a dramatic classic - with strong ingenue essence. That's why flamboyant (dramatic) gamine (ingenue-related) lines work good on you. I have the same combination. Long torso, strong classic and ingenue essence, especially showing in my face. The reason why any kind of ruffles look silly on me. Maybe kitchner as a system suits you better. He focuses on essence.

I love your content, but what motivates you for keeping it up when you have low views? It depresses me when my stuff doesn't have success what can I do?

[@OutfitRepeater]

… just make more content? Honestly idk, it seems like the stuff I’m most excited to make is not what brings in views usually. So I just keep making things, trying to improve the quality of each video, and hope for the best 😅
