My slow-made snail

|

This little one took me longer than expected to paint—not because I had a plan, but because I didn’t. I loved how the waves and surfer side looked at first, but I thought, “Maybe just a tiny touch more detail…” and, well, chaos followed. I ended up repainting the whole thing.

Lesson learned: don’t fix what isn’t broken.

But here’s the thing—this snail is perfectly imperfect. The shell isn’t a perfect circle. The neck has a few bumps and uneven textures. And I’m okay with that—I love that, actually. These small flaws give each piece a kind of soul. They remind me that handmade art isn’t about precision—it’s about feeling. About being human.
