100 Days of Leaf Art - Week 10

Week 10: Reflecting on Progress

Looking back at my first leaves, I see noticeable growth. My designs are more intricate, my stitches are more confident, and my ideas flow more freely.

Taking time to reflect on progress is essential. It helps me appreciate how far I’ve come and what I’ve learned along the way.

Creative Tip: Lay out all of your leaves from the beginning of the project and compare them. What changes do you notice? Which techniques do you want to explore further?

Encouragement: Progress happens whether you realize it or not. Acknowledge your growth and celebrate your dedication.

100 Days of Leaf Art - Week 9

 Week 9: Embracing Imperfection

Perfection is an illusion. Some of my favorite pieces started as "mistakes" that turned into unexpected designs. A leaf might burn too deeply, a stitch might be uneven—but rather than discarding the piece, I adapt.

By embracing imperfection, I free myself to experiment without fear. Wobbly lines, uneven stitches, and natural cracks in the leaves all contribute to the beauty of handmade art.

Creative Tip: If a leaf breaks or burns too much, turn it into a collage piece. Layer multiple leaves together to create new compositions.

Encouragement: Your work doesn’t have to be flawless—it just needs to be yours. Let go of perfection and enjoy the process.

Need a creativity boost? Join my Leaf Arts course for more ideas on embracing imperfection in your work.
