I just got done having a critique for this piece, and boy are my arms tired. This is an in-progress shot of my tapestry loom final, which is an interpretation of a painting Maggie did of Mowgli. It didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but to be honest they hardly ever do. I wondered today if when I have a child, I'm going to be a little disappointed on how he/she comes out merely because he/she wasn't exactly what I expected.....maybe I should adopt. All joking aside, when you just put so much of yourself into something it's physically painful to see it less than what you imagined. Everyone in the crit was very VERY supportive, though. It's always a nice surprise when someone random says something incredibly beautiful about your work - that they've been paying attention and have been considering it, not just looking at it. A critique is an intense process, even if it's a little TOO friendly/supportive at times. I don't think anyone said anything negative, or questioned anyones process or anything. And I'm not sure if I think that's a good thing or a bad thing.
