Hohoho Abide By Beauty Inwards The Broken
My piece of job - too basically my life - is all well-nigh (and has ever been all about) finding beauty inwards what has been broken, putting pieces dorsum together, looking at one-time things inwards novel ways, salvaging what is salvageable, too diminishing whatever flaws or harm spell at the same time, bringing whatever beauty to the forefront.
Every i time inwards a spell I come upwards across someone who sees my piece of job for the commencement fourth dimension and scolds, "I certain promise yous didn't ruin whatever good china when yous made that!" I conduct maintain to tell I've ever been taken aback when I listen this. I directly perceive it equally really negative thinking, but perhaps it's but because some people but don't realize precisely how many one-time too damaged plates in that location are out in that location inwards the basis that are headed to i of ii places: to a landfill, or to my workshop.
But still, I'm ever surprised when I listen that reaction. When someone sees my jewelry for the commencement fourth dimension too learns that it's made from old, cast-off or damaged china, 99.9 per centum of the time the reaction that I acquire is a positive, happy too surprised "Cool!" or something along those lines. But there's ever that i soul who directly thinks the worst, first. It's similar they don't fifty-fifty encounter the beauty that is correct inwards front end of them. Their mind immediately thinks that a really bad matter has been done! Hehe. Of course of report at nowadays I am exaggerating and being a piffling fleck dramatic - but that's the impression that that type of reply gives to me. They shout out back the worst first.
Now shout out back of it this way: what if in that location was zippo physically incorrect alongside a plate too I nonetheless turned it into jewelry. Let's tell I catch a thrift store too I purchase an old, run-of-the-mill orphaned plate for 50 cents too I accept it dwelling solid too I plow it into 4 pieces of beautiful jewelry. Let's tell that the jewelry is too then beautiful that a bride-to-be sees the pieces inwards my Etsy store too directly thinks they would hold upwards perfect gifts for her bridesmaids. The bride-to-be is thrilled. The bridesmaids are thrilled. Heck, fifty-fifty the guy who sold me the plate at the thrift store is thrilled for his 50 cents because he had that plate on his shelf for a yr too no i wanted to purchase it, too non alone that, but his mortgage was due too earlier I came along too bought the plate, he was 50 cents short. ...I know, I'm beingness featherbrained now...
But still... earlier I acquire likewise far from my intended point... what's your reaction? What is inwards the forefront of your mind? Do yous travel on your heed equally a fresh build clean slate, opened upwards to positive possibilities? Or is it tarnished too stained, too muddy alongside negativity?
Remember a 2nd ago, when I quoted the negative soul who said, "I certain promise yous didn't ruin whatever good china when yous made that!"? Understand that to me, it is ALL "good" china. Broken, whole, damaged, scratched, chipped, shards, slivers, pieces, entire sets...it's all good. :) Perspective is everything. Find beauty inwards the broken.
