Brickworkz LEGO mosaics : Clientz : The Pollards: The pre-Presentation jitters The pre-Presentation jittersSooo much accomplished yesterday. This project is kicking ass!! I keep worrying about how this project will be received by Jeff and Olivia. I think... I hope... that it has just a little bit of everything they're looking for. It's got a hint of pixelation, which is good for the geek in them. It's got LEGOs, so it's got a fun kind of feel to it. It's artsy, which I think they'd only like/appreciate if it's unique or different in some way, which this one definitely is. And when it gets mounted onto a base and hung, it'll look modern/contemporary, which is the look they like. Still, this is unlike anything I've ever done, and unlike anything I've ever seen, so I have no clue how they will react. Visions of that lady on Trading Spaces who hated her new room made of feathers dance in my head... With each brick that goes into this, I'm wondering how I will present it. Can't do a surprise thing... Do I give them a card first? Do I keep it shrouded and then reveal it? Should I even be there when they see it for the first time? Do I talk about where I think it'll look the best in their house, or just shut up and let them take it all in? ...I guess this means I have finally crossed the threshold between being excited and becoming personally attached to this project. Now I have so much time, money, and effort tied into this project that I really want it to succeed. My worst fear would be that it sits up in an attic somewhere, collecting dust. Still...is this something they'd want? I think the self-doubt is good enough evidence that this is becoming personal. And you know? That's a good thing too. I want this to be a personal gift. It's definintely from the heart. I just think it makes me that much more vulnerable if they decide it's not for them.
