Existential crisis leads to new a experience

I tried painting a brooch for the first time. I am in a severe art block and I wanted to try something different to help myself gain some creativity.

It's definitely a little wobbly, but I think it's not bad for a first time! I used nail polish as a varnish, if you have some recommendations for a good resin please let me know

The quote I chose has also a very important meaning to me. I don't know where it comes from, I don't even remember where I read it the first time, but as someone who always felt the pressure to please others this hits different .

Please let me know what you think and how I can improve my skills!
