After a good 2 weeks of anxious self-doubt about being a round peg trying to fit a square hole, I've decided to hold out for the round hole. Here is my art journal spread about it. I worked on it at various times thruout my self-imposed angst, all the while hating it because it represented that which I did not want, while also reminding me of what I do not feel comfortable doing. But when it was finished, I ended up liking it alot. It feels good to be in my skin again. It was an unexpected challenge to meet so close to all the grand yearly plans, but my muse and I survived. Failure is okay...it leaves the door open to succeed another day!

Kudos to you for going with it and not giving in to the self critic. Good for you -- and I'm taking a page from your book!!
Thanks for your comments, everyone.
