It's okay to explore different mediums and experiment with your artistic vision. Every creation, whether big or small, is a step towards realizing your full artistic potential."

It's a reminder of your incredible talent and a symbol of the beauty you bring to the world through your creations. Use it proudly, knowing that you are a true artist."
