We all need to hear that its OK to start over! (as much as its a pain in the butt sometimes.) Speaking of which, I am working on a book right now in which there are several spreads that I've done over again and again. Its giving it 110% percent. In the end, we are all happier with our work knowing that. Great story as always. We all need to hear that its OK to start over! (as much as its a pain in the butt sometimes.)

I'm always finding great bits of advice. For that, thanks so much. Secondly, the crux of this post rings so true. My college printmaking instructor had a mantra: "Don't get precious." My dad said something to the same effect, of not being able to make certain undesirable materials shine. To this day, I'm not afraid to destroy in order to create. If it's not working, it's simply not working. Reboot if need be. Glad you reinforced this point with your post. Cheers, and continued success. --boon. Ms Dani:
