It’s a painful fact that sometimes, no matter how hard you try or how much time you spend working on something, what you make might suck. That is exactly what happened to me with the art doll I was making. I spent hours and hours on it and had such high hopes for how it would turn out. My hand is still sore from trying to stuff it successfully.
But in the end, sometimes it just doesn’t matter how hard you work on something or how much you want it to be awesome. Sometimes it will suck and you will have to let it go and move on.
This is a picture of my doll after I gave up adding more stuffing. I didn’t even bother to make the arms. At that point I knew I was done and it was over because it was ugly and not something I wanted to ever send out into the world. Its head was too small and its body too large and nothing really worked for me. The only thing I liked about it was the little blue rabbit I sewed on its leg. That’s it.
Sometimes we will make ugly art.
