20 some odd years ago a friend and I were trying to teach ourselves to batik - using wax and dye - we put wax in a little pipe like thing or a paint brush and made designs on fabric - then dyed - I had a pretty hard time of it. I'm not a good drawer - I can come up with ideas real good. My friend could draw... Long story short. One day her dad who was a professional graphic artist back in the day came over to see what batik was. We set him down and he got really into it - beautiful work. I asked him how he knew what to do. He just laughed made a few comments but what stuck with me was when he said, "There isn't really ANYTHING you can't get good at if you practice long enough." It's been my motto ever since. If I flub up, I just haven't practiced enough.
