Glass mosaic: a break from the inner perfectionist

I have a strict controller in my head: he loves straight edges, correct plans and the words “just right.” At the lesson, he also came first, sat down next to him and began to grumble: “This edge is uneven. The color is questionable. It’s like there’s something missing here” ✨

And I listen and do the opposite. I take glass with bubbles, with stripes, with small defects — and suddenly I see that they are the ones who make the picture come alive 🫧 The silence around is soft, only the rustling of paper and a light ringing sound, like fine rain 🌧️🤍 The perfectionist in me is losing its fuse 😮‍💨
