I’m never perfectly satisfied when I send an issue of The Polymer Arts off to be printed. There is always a thing or two (or ten) that I feel could have been done better. I also know that to give into the inclination to make everything perfect would mean never getting it out the door or always be very unhappy. This is true of any artistic work. \u00a0So, instead, we need to do our best in a time frame that makes it reasonable for its intended end purpose (to sell, to gift, to wear ourselves) and then let it go out into the worldto be what it will be.<\/p>\n

A great sentiment and a colorful image quote to end our colorful week. Thank you to Paula K. Gilbert<\/a>, my longest standing staffer on the magazine, \u00a0for sending me this image and for always being so \u00a0encouraging and enthusiastic.<\/p>\n
