Hope!! Discovery Beauty Inwards The Broken
My piece of occupation - as well as basically my life - is all virtually (and has e'er been all about) finding beauty inward what has been broken, putting pieces dorsum together, looking at one-time things inward novel ways, salvaging what is salvageable, as well as diminishing whatsoever flaws or impairment piece at the same time, bringing whatsoever beauty to the forefront.
Every ane time inward a piece I come upwardly across someone who sees my piece of occupation for the offset fourth dimension and scolds, "I certain promise you lot didn't ruin whatsoever good china when you lot made that!" I conduct maintain to nation I've e'er been taken aback when I listen this. I at nowadays perceive it every bit really negative thinking, but perhaps it's simply because some people simply don't realize just how many one-time as well as damaged plates in that location are out in that location inward the footing that are headed to ane of ii places: to a landfill, or to my workshop.
But still, I'm e'er surprised when I listen that reaction. When someone sees my jewelry for the offset fourth dimension as well as learns that it's made from old, cast-off or damaged china, 99.9 percentage of the time the reaction that I acquire is a positive, happy as well as surprised "Cool!" or something along those lines. But there's e'er that ane somebody who at nowadays thinks the worst, first. It's similar they don't fifty-fifty run across the beauty that is correct inward forepart of them. Their mind immediately thinks that a really bad affair has been done! Hehe. Of course of pedagogy at nowadays I am exaggerating and being a piffling flake dramatic - but that's the impression that that type of answer gives to me. They shout out back the worst first.
Now shout out back of it this way: what if in that location was cypher physically incorrect amongst a plate as well as I withal turned it into jewelry. Let's nation I catch a thrift store as well as I purchase an old, run-of-the-mill orphaned plate for 50 cents as well as I accept it dwelling draw solid as well as I plough it into iv pieces of beautiful jewelry. Let's nation that the jewelry is as well as therefore beautiful that a bride-to-be sees the pieces inward my Etsy store as well as at nowadays thinks they would last 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 as well as no ane wanted to purchase it, as well as non exclusively that, but his mortgage was due as well as earlier I came along as well as bought the plate, he was 50 cents short. ...I know, I'm beingness light-headed now...
But still... earlier I acquire likewise far from my intended point... what's your reaction? What is inward the forefront of your mind? Do you lot proceed your heed every bit a fresh build clean slate, opened upwardly to positive possibilities? Or is it tarnished as well as stained, as well as unclean amongst negativity?
Remember a minute ago, when I quoted the negative somebody who said, "I certain promise you lot didn't ruin whatsoever good china when you lot 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 inward the broken.
