Well, I'm at it again. Next week I begin my third class in surface pattern design. It is said that the third time is the charmer. I've proved this adage incorrect a countless number of times. What I lack in follow-through, I make up for in tenacity. I love a new challenge, especially one that tests my ability to admit that I've become a quitter when faced with my own design limitations.  I'm thrilled to be taking this class. My last experience with designer Bonnie Christine was back in 2015. I found her surface pattern design class on Skillshare and not only signed up for it, I actually completed it and then wrote a post about my experience  here.  I found Bonnie's teaching style a perfect companion to my own learning style. With fewer work related projects demanding my time, perhaps this will be the class that helps me create the kind of work that keeps me awake at night.  A lack of self esteem has never allowed me to post works in progress. What if it sucks? Trut
