As well as helping fulfil my Father's work (long story, more on this later).
Wow, I feel like that so much. And not only with my Mother, with....uh, all of Them. Or, those of Them that I belong to. Heh. And then go "Hmm, maybe I should keep this to one on one convo...dammit I don't have person x's screenname or phone number grr!". ;-)
I hold myself to some very high standards too, and if I find something that needs reworking, reviving or remaking, and I don't have the skill for that level of restoration, I pass it to someone skilled who does.
Wow, we're a lot alike in how we do this kind of stuff. o.o Whee, synchronization? My standards, when I'm doing spiritual pieces, is near-exactly the same. I'm lucky with my specific arts, though, I can practice. Sketch out a design for a silkpainting or for beadwork ten dozen times before actually doing the WORK work, restringing a necklace if it isn't JUST PERFECT, doing practice pieces to get the techniques perfect, etc etc etc. I have no idea if you end up with that luck or not.
Which brings me nicely into this next related topic. Care and feeding.
Thank you SO MUCH for telling me all this. Because, yeah. I would have forgotten to ask about the latter, the feeding, and I might have forgotten to ask about the prior for a while (which would have made for unhappy rook).
