It adds such much and makes crafting feel safer because all these people you admire have good and bad results rather than comparing your mixed results to their best. Thank you for the post.<br /><br />As a critique, I think the mix is where the problem is. The shiny stones don't work with the potpourri. I think you were on the right track with the sorting. <br />An idea that might improve these is to unmix them. Put the glass in one vase, I think the browns should go together and the blue potpourri together in the last vase. The white shell could go with either of that two and I am undecided if the dark blue potpourri should go with the brown (similar texture) or the blue (similar color). You might leave the white shell out if it doesn't work. Maybe with the glass. I think sea glass might work better with the shells for a beach feeling. You will have the similarity shape with the three vases and the difference of color/texture with each vase. The repeat of the similarity within each vase should help it work. I would love to know if this idea works out of if it is in the same ballpark as your original idea. <br /><br />Oooo that would be a neat idea. Craft bloggers post their projects that didn't work out so well and have other people offer suggestions on ways to make them better, why it went wrong, and/or fixes. That would be a fascinating site. Redos would be fabulous and so educational. It would really illustrate how to change the way of thinking about crafting problems to find solutions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632519473382375138.post-15558921389847755692011-07-25T19:40:20.578-06:002011-07-25T19:40:20.578-06:00Carina, glad you found this situation funny!
