The Art of Imperfection

I recently read the book "The Gifts of Imperfection" by Brene Brown. The concept is how to learn to let go of who you think you're supposed to be and embrace who you are. It's an easy read and I would recommend it to others to read.  I created a reaction piece after reading the book.

Wishes

So, I've always had a thing about when I catch a glimpse of a clock where the time is all the same numbers, like 3:33 or 11:11 and I've always heard you should make a wish when you see the time is the same before it turns over to the next minute. I know...I know...whatever. Most recently I keep looking up and catching the time being the same numbers quite frequently. I've had a lot on my mind lately and I created this piece to represent not only all of those wishes I've attempted to make recently but my feelings behind the wishes.

The materials I used were water color paper, black fine tip permanent marker, colored pencils and water color over top followed by modge podge and a scattering of tea grains with a final coat of acrylic spray.
