Snapshot from My Studio: June 30, 2018 at 11:19AM

The doodle from today’s Doodlecam. Today’s Doodlecam is all about just STARTING, and also the importance of SHARING your work. Yes, I know that sounds scary, but what I’ve found is that I see my work as a thousand times crappier than anyone else does! 🖍
In fact, I intentionally created a practice of sharing works in progress—my “crappy” stuff I was EMBARRASSED to share, and what astonished me was how many people made the effort to lift their thumbs to tap the “like” button or leave a nice comment! !!!
🖍
The practice of sharing me work was terrifying at first, but it was so powerful! And it became less scary over time. Not that the fear ever went away, but it has helped me to see that other people see my work for what it IS, while I see my work for what it ISN’T. (Hat tip to Peter Thornton for that tidbit!)
🖍
Sharing my work before it feels “good enough” has helped me take off my “gremlin glasses” so I can see my work through other people’s glasses! This is POWERFUL!
🖍
I challenge you to try it. Yes, I know it’s scary. Try it anyway. I have NEVER gotten a mean comment. Only likes and compliments. And people offering to BUY pieces I was planning on tossing!!! 🖍
The goal, though, is NOT to get validation. The goal is to see your work through other people’s eyes, instead of through your gremlin glasses. TRY IT! 😊👍
