Embrace your mistakes...

Haven't been posting for some time... don't really know why. Well, I have a guess or two but let's not talk about this now.
I'd better share my pencil holder which I made from an empty milk carton and one of my paintings!
OMG!!! Did you hear this? - one of my PAINTINGS! The truth is that lately I've been trying my hand at journaling - for me to say ART journal would be way too much.
I had a journal page which was a total mess but as I couldn't just throw it out, and because I discovered a most beautiful blog LIFE IN COLOR [here is the link, I recommend you jump over and take a look!] which taught me "Embrace your mistakes…they can be beautiful if looked at another way!" I simply painted over that page.
Once again, I am not a painter, not even good at it, but... nevertheless, I scanned that page and then cut it in 4 and this is what I came up with:
 
 
Well, I think that this looks somewhat better than the page itself  and I am glad I didn't have the heart to tear it to pieces and... embraced my mistake.
You should try, too. They say that if we are afraid of making mistakes, we'll never do anything.
So get up and do something! Anything. Just DO something.
