The wheels on the bus (go round and round)

If you hadn't guessed by my blog's title, I don't like to make samplers. I understand their usefulness and why it's good to practice things to become perfect.  But I just have no patience for that.  Whenever I make something I want the end product to be useful to me.  I thought about studying 2D art in college, but I never want to do still-lifes, or practice techniques. I know that doing so would improve my art, but I dislike doing things just for the sake of doing them.  That's why, rather than do samplers, I learn techniques by starting with small projects, like scarves, or baby dresses, or Marie Antoinette style gowns... yeah, I don't really do too many small projects either.
