Before revealing this project’s post and links, here’s a preview of the next word: play. What comes to mind when you think of play? Share those thoughts with me. 😄
ALPHA BITS
You can find the post for oops here and also on the homepage. It’s time for the quick bits:
The project’s illustration represents the growth that can happen through oops experiences.
I associate oops with making mistakes. Learn about four types of mistakes in the post.
While I could have gone abstract, I chose a Kintsugi project to represent oops. These are the materials I sourced for my golden repair; see the finished project on the site.
