Transferring found clip art onto an altoids tin, a t-shirt, a greeting card, a drink coaster, a light switch cover, what-the-fuck-ever, it might all look nice, but the bottom line is, it's crap. Etsy (for example) is 99% crap. You're one of the 1%, so stop yer self-doubt. Do I need to come over there and tell you how much you rock?

You have your own unique style. And there's no reason you couldn't do those tins. Once you set your mind to something you almost always accomplish it. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

You're wonderfully talented. On the other hand, I understand completely. I feel the same way when I watch certain other belly dancers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcSzH_9VzBE and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M2X_fUDIOY in particular.
