Track Your Progress

I have been sorting through all the pictures of my artwork that I have taken since 2010 when I stared my Etsy shop.  If you don't regularly take pictures of your artwork, I highly recommend it if for no other reason than to track your progress.  Now, camera phones make it easy to take a quick shot, but back in 2010, it was a "point and click" that had to do the work.  This was one of the VERY FIRST collages I ever made:

Take pictures of everything.  You never know what might inspire you today or later down the road.
