I’m all for the value of learning new things through repeated trial and error, but nothing quite tops solving a manufacturing problem on the first go.
If materials could talk, the conversation would have went like this:
| MATERIALS: | Eff you, creative nemesis! |
|
| I refuse to bend to your will! | ||
| ME: | You WILL bend! | |
| When you’re slapped you’ll take it and like it! | ||
| [Smack! Smack-smack!] | ||
| MATERIALS: | Shut-up – you had me at “hello”. | |
| [Passionate embrace, cue music, fade to black] | ||

I’ve taken the packaging manufacturer’s label and modified it for the signature/title on the pieces:
Yeah, baby – I AM all that.
I’ve had to make my bed “like a mountain range with a snow white pillow for my big fat head.”
Don’t worry – I’m sure the swelling will subside when I’m confronted by a new studio problem tomorrow.
You are amazing, as ever. Though the title of this post makes me think maybe Elvis did it all and you’re just taking credit 😉
