I don't have everything together yet, either in life, or this blog. But I'm getting there. I don't think that practice makes perfect, but I do believe it does teach you what works and what doesn't.
For a very, very, very long time (since 2001) I was
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
thatkgirl, but I wanted to start anew and go in a different direction*. If you want to know a bit more about me, feel free to check it out. I chose the name pentimenti for this journal because when I first heard the word used, I was told that it was the faint traces of pencil lines that were left behind after you erasing. I liked the idea of that, because even though I'm not using the old journal, I want there to be some "faint traces" of it here.
Every time I've Googled pentimenti lately, though, I get that it's an underlayers of a work of art that sometimes become visible after the painting has aged and starts becoming transparent. According to one website, pentimenti will "reveal information about the creation of a work of art and show something of the artist's methods".
I like both definitions.
*This journal will have a lot more art, crafts, and fictional writing and hopefully, a lot less whining and personal drama.
