Ten Rules to Live By to Achieve ESFP Success

1. Feed Your Strengths! Encourage your natural expressive abilities and hands-on talents. Nourish your appreciation of the world. Give yourself opportunities to enjoy life to the full.

2. Face Your Weaknesses! Realize and accept that some traits are strengths and some are weaknesses. Facing and dealing with your weaknesses doesn't mean that you have to change who you are, it means that you want to be the best You possible. By facing your weaknesses, you are honoring your true self, rather than attacking yourself.

3. Express Your Feelings. Don't let worries build up inside of you. If you are troubled by doubt or fear, tell those close to you who will listen and offer counsel. Don't make the mistake of "blipping over it" or "sorting it out" some quick fix way.

4. Listen to Everything. Try not to accept everything at face value. Let everything soak in and listen to your feelings.

5. Smile at Criticism. Remember that people will not always agree with you or understand you, even if they value you greatly. Try to see disagreement and criticism as an opportunity for growth. In fact, that is exactly what it is.

6. Be Aware of Others. Remember that there are 15 other personality types out there who see things differently than you see them. Try to identify other people's types. Try to understand their perspectives.

7. Be Accountable for Yourself. Remember that your every word and action affects those around you, so it is important for you to be fully responsible for your self, and to the values you hold.

8. Be Gentle in Your Expectations. You will always be disappointed with others if you expect too much of them. Being disappointed with another person is the best way to drive them away. Treat others with the same gentleness that you would like to be treated with.

9. Assume the Best. Don't distress yourself by assuming the worst. Remember that a positive attitude often creates positive situations.

10. When in Doubt, Ask Questions! If something seems to be wrong and you can't put your finger on it, maybe someone else can. Remember, there are many ways of seeing the world, and perhaps someone else's way will reveal the truth.

Time Keeper

My first time playing with Gesso and modeling paste, products of Maimeri.
Have to try them on paper to see just what I can do. It was an interesting first time experiment. I put acrylics over it and mixed in a bit of Derwent's Inktenses and some Russian made ink sprays, also I used stensils and stamps.

Photo is from cinema add, presenting "Hugo" by Martin Scorsese, which in Russia was shown under the name "Time Keeper"(don't ask me why - our translators'minds have very-very strange thought process))). I absolutely love this movie, it is so beautiful and adventurous, it has a lot of its own charm and the whole cast is very talented and.. there are so many good things to say about this movie, but I'm sure you know them all)). And if you, per strange chance, have not seen it yet - please, DO. It will totally hit you in all right places)).

Tackle It Tuesday - D-E-F

We continiue with the alphabeticals (if there's such a word) and this week challenge is D-E-F.
I choose a lot of patterns - Fleurette, Footlites, Double Loop de Loop and Echoism.

I'm proud of all F's and D's but my Echoism could've been a lot better, indeed. I do not like the mess I've made with it :(

Still, here is my DEF tile. Only liners on the watercolored paper.
