Antiqued Santa Before and After

Merle, I guess it is a personal preference thing, I do like the look that you can obtain with antiquing.

As Joe says - it's a personal preference thing. There is no right or wrong!!! If one person likes the antiquing and another doesn't, that's ok.

Life would be extremely boring if we all agreed on everything. Everyone has different likes, different opinions which makes it wide open for creating new things and change. Which I love about this forum....no such thing as right or wrong.

Hi Guys , I think if anyone makes a Piece and it entices People to comment good or bad it is a Success piece . You might call it a Conversation Starter . I also call it a Fun Piece . That is what this Hobby is all about . Have Fun I do . Merle

I agree, as I have also found out when someone dislikes a piece then I stand back and stare at it for hours, or even days....sometimes I will agree with them and other times... I will say I love it the way it is. I will always go with my gut feeling. All of it is great for learning and moving forward. I went to art school ....now that was hardcore, they would throw our work into the trash can, rip it up, and even draw all over it....stating you either handle it or leave the art world. I remember students walking out and never coming back, I stuck in my upper lip and decided I was staying no matter what. I stayed, learn to stand, learn to dodge, and most of all take it all as a grain of salt. I want other opinions and tell me what can I do better, as often they can see what I can not. My work is not my hobby although, it is my greatest challenge and it is not often so-called fun, but hard work. I have had mean people's opinions, not here although, and I have had ones were
my mouth drop to the floor and left me muttering....but it is all in name of being creative. The belief we all have to agree is utter nonsense. The conversation starter it is ....
