gets you dirty

Before you commit

Flower Arranging

  • One tall bloom tipping the whole vase over would frustrate you.
  • Rebuilding the same arrangement three times sounds maddening.
  • Buying fresh stems that wilt in days feels wasteful to you.

Pyrography

  • One wobble scarring the piece permanently would stress you too much.
  • The smell of scorched wood and a cramping hand would wear you down.
  • You want forgiving work you can undo, not a hot tip that keeps every mistake.
