Relieved the recall wasn’t on GIFs. I think you hit a home run!
You commented recently about the “gremlins” that can cause the workings of digital processes and the Internet to become wonky. You may have used a different word. Call them what you will, I believe they are in charge of AutoCorrect!
Because of their not always skillful “fill in the blank” attempts I now proof more than I used to. Some are terribly misguided!
What would I try if I were fearless? Sculpture. Abstract representations of life forms. Purposely vague so only the sharpest eye could exclaim, “What a silly hippo!” 🙃
I very much admire sculptors that turn ice into swans and the like. As for a medium, I’ve seen some soapstone carvings recently, mostly by Inuit folks in way north North America. Dating back 3000 years or more! Collectors of their art have created so much demand that pieces sell for €30,000! Sometimes more. The best pieces are often devoid of excess detail. Instead the sculptors capture the essence of “walrus, polar bear, whale, Madonna-esque mother/child silhouettes.” The stone yields easily to wood chisels, knives, and other carving tools. Developing my eye for abstract essence would be a completely new endeavor! Sourcing pieces of soapstone poses some challenges. My prior attempts at carving always used wood as the medium.
“What might you try if there was no reason to be afraid?“
This is one of the best questions ever! 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.”
–William Shakespeare
I might create a business doing what I absolutely love, founded in awe, wonder, and curiosity, while sharing my Artistic ability with the world, so if they choose, they can live a more intentional, purpose driven life, grounded in the everyday gifts of nature, their own YOUniqueness, and the wonders of this spinning rock we all call home…

Wonky… sounds like me. 🤔
I’m so often typo-ing and/or caught in autocorrect foibles. 🤦♀️ Slow down… you move too fast.
Sculpture… that’s fascinating! Have you ever tried wood carving? Ice sculptures? Granite or marble?
There are several cities in the area that hold ice sculpting competitions in January.

Some train Passion Flowers. Some hone stone.
T-shirt: “Cleaning with a toddler around is like raking leaves during a hurricane.” 😁
Does that also apply to four-legged young ones?
Nice job on the animated GIF! 👍
Sometimes my mind feels like it’s overrun by toddlers, puppies, and kittens! 😂

Yep, that’s it! 😎

Wonder-filled! Wonder-full!
This morning in a meditation I read: Bring me the sacrifice of your time.
Does God/Universe want us to love what we do more than success/achievement? Can the two go hand-in-hand? Yes, and!
