Right alongside "you aren't worth anything if you don't go to college" (I married one week after high school graduation instead). It's sad when family members who should be encouraging us say such hurtful things, not realizing those words still affect us decades later.Vicky L.

I grew up with a lot of devaluing messages such as, "if it doesn't make money, it's not worth doing." In my head, I can tell myself that art-making is always worth doing, but getting the rest of myself to believe it...that's a lot harder.

As for me, I am encouraged by reading your thoughts and your witness of faith. God bless you for your sharing! I am surprised, that in your country there are so many believers - as I read Flickr comments, I can see very often, that God speaks to common people... I need to see it, read it and your witness is very special to me, very close... I Thank God for the gift He gave me when I find you... !Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261337579755656328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7437733278011128705.post-1026761825452800762015-09-15T09:45:31.092-05:002015-09-15T09:45:31.092-05:00Susan, your comment brightens my day -- thank you!...Susan, your comment brightens my day -- thank you!

But I don't really care about numbers; when something I post somehow blesses another person -- that is amazing!<br />What discourages me at times is more my own family, some of whom think my drawing is meaningless, a waste of time. And my own inner critic tends to be more about worth than ability. I know I can draw . . . but am I using this ability for a good purpose?<br />I try many kinds of paper in my journals but yes, Fabriano Artistico is the one I always return to when I can find a source without being forced to buy 10 sheets at a time.

Thank you for sharing these thoughts.

Is Fabriano Artistico your go-to paper? Also, good work on the lead-free sketch! I know that's out of your comfort zone.
