As for the ones that include collage, I feel like I am still learning on that. I have made some I really like and others, not so much.
You don't have to like them, it's enough if the buyer likes them enough to pay the price. You know the saying: "Beauty is in the eye or the beholder", or something like that 😄
Yes... you are right. One time, a friend from my school days wanted a painting. I decided to give her one. I let her choose any one she wanted and the one she chose, to me was not as good as half of the others that were available. Inside.... I laughed.
I had the same experience with my bags. I used to make denim bags and I made a couple, right the first ones, that later seemed not up to my later standards, and those were the first I sold 😄 So ... you never know.
