Crown me.
I had to tell myself no today. I had to face up to the fact that the crown molding (moulding? or is that only in Britain?) I created for my latest piece looked dumb. I had some misgivings, but I have had misgivings of this sort before and plowed through and trusted that my idea would bear out once it was realized. Not this time. This time it was just dumb. So I have made a second set of moulding, much more traditional and much more attractive. But not as interesting. If I had another week to spend on the piece, I might have been able to make my idea make sense, but I would be rushing and I think this is an idea that will need a little time under water. I will put up pics of the two moldings tomorrow.
