Lately, I got two failures. Well, it is two projects that didn't turned out the way I wanted. It also have little drawback that I didn't expected.
The first one is paper beads. I try to makes some with paper and modge podge. I rolled the paper on wood stick and pencil. There are a few who stick on them. I have to take a x-acto to make a cut and removed them from the forms. There is also the painting that I haven't done to my taste. I may be a bit perfectionist on the paint job. Next time I will try this project, I will have to find a way to makes the forms less sicking. Maybe petrolium jelly on them? Worth a try. For the paint job, I think I put other colors on the part missing paints.
The second failure is not really a failure. It is more an experiment. I wanted to go to the next level. I have started to making soap. I started, as many, with soap base. Soon enough, I wanted to graduate on the next level: doing it from scratch. Without soap base. I have done a few batches. I just wonder if I am doing it right. They kind of looking okay. I haven't tried them. I should. Maybe I only worry about their look. They have a pale ocher color. I just don't know if it should look that way. Or I worry too much. I just don't know if it is normal or not. I am inexperienced in that matter. So, I don't know what to improve. I take it easy right now because I do have a lot of soap. I will use them before making more. I just don't know if it is a failure or a lack of confidence. This is the kind of situation where I would like to have someone to see if I do right or not.
So, I don't always do a successful project as a first time. I sometimes need a bit more times to improve on my ideas. Each experiment is a learning experience.
