“knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.” -1 Peter 1:18-19 Listen to chapter

Curse you Craft Gods!

So I think the craft gods hate me.  I think all of my crafts turn out pretty crappy.  I do have to say that my perfectionism and the incredible imagination I have creates these perfect little ideas that my abilities quite haven't gotten to yet.  Take for example, I made this mosaic table that had a bunch of uneven tiles.  I wanted to make it even and after about 5 or 6 years of thinking about it, I finally got the resin stuff and attempted to make an even top for my table.  I read/saw somewhere online that you could make a bit of a frame with duct tape that would hold the resin in place until it set up and then you just peel it off.  Ha...hahahahah.  Someone was having a chuckle.  Boy am I glad I put the plastic sheeting down because it was one giant mess.  My dad and I propped pieces of plywood along the sides to try to help, it just made it harder to see the resin seeping out of the bottom of the tape frame.  I checked on it yesterday and it looks usable still.  There are places where the resin didn't get to, places where it is a bit thick, and some stalactites that I'll have to sand off (?maybe? it doesn't want to come off with out peeling a majority of the wood and paint off the sides).  Maybe I just have to keep working away in order to win the favor of the craft gods.  Maybe, like Hercules, I have 12 labors to complete before I can be free from whatever bad craft karma got attached to me.
