Part of me really wants to kick it up a notch...but the fear of failing dismally is preventing me from taking that step. How did you know when it was time to take your creativity to the next level? I guess if I'm asking the question then I'm probably not ready...but I really want to TRY just to see what I can accomplish.

Sure, if we all sat around thinking we couldn't do things, we never would!  Give it a shot, I'm sure it won't kill you  bear_original

I think that if you are even thinking this way then it is time.

I agree with Joanne, If you are even thinking about it, do it!
You don't need to be making beautifully realistic bears on your first try. It's in the inches not the miles that we should measure progress.

I agree with the others--if you are even considering it, then it is TIME to try something new and bring your creativity up a notch.  I know it can feel challenging and difficult to try new things and to find a direction all your own, but in the end it is SO worth the effort.      bear_original

Go for it!!! You have nothing to lose. If it doesn't turn out the way you wanted you will most likely still see what it is you need to try differently the next time. We do learn from out mistakes. Believe me I have made LOTS.  But I think you really need to try different things. Otherwise you remain stagnant and don;t ever advance.
Plus I think it's fun trying new stuff. So Go have fun!!!!!!! bear_wub

Dear Lisa: I think part of it is self confidence. Fear can paralyze you. If you always do what you've always done, than you will never be what you can be. So think of it this way, when you are 90 years old, do you want to look back on your life and say "I wish I tried ...." and feel regret.

Good luck Lisa.
