i also remember my art teacher walking by and saying how much he loved my drawing. encouragement is so important. i mean, i remember this sketch because i tried something new and my teacher showed it (with admiration) to the rest of the class!i’m super happy i still have it and it was a really nice memory to find.

I don't find those scissors boring at all. I find them very interesting. You can see the talent in them. It is the little burst of colors throughout. They are very beautiful. They come alive.
