When I created what I call my "prototypes", I was very critical. I would always seem to find something wrong with it. My partner, who is very honest when it comes to critiquing, would give me good comments but I was never sure. I never really shared them with anyone else because it wasn't up to certain standards. It had to be "perfect".
That was one of the obstacles I dealt with. Perfection. I am not a perfectionist normally. I try my best. When it comes to baking I always try to improve, of course, but I wouldn't feel so frustrated when the baked goods didn't come out right (unlike I did with my accessories). I don't understand why I judged myself differently. It was important for me to create something that would last, so I would take my prototypes on test runs (I'm kind of clumsy so I knew if they lasted with me, they'd last with just about anyone). Even if the item would pass the test run, I would still find a flaw.
