Weirdly, I think I might be reaching a stage where I’ve come to a bit of a compromise with the perfectionist in me. The image below looks OK to me…
…but then close-up I can see all of the flaws in the cuts (that I couldn’t even see with my magnifying glasses when I was actually working on it!) But the perfectionist in me is now getting a tiny bit less uptight, so although the annoying imperfections do still leap out at me straight away, there is also a little part of me that goes “Hey! Nice leaves at the bottom!”, instead of “Oh no – the entire thing is a total mess.”

Close-up views don’t really do papercuts any favours, because you can see all of the tiny fibres in the paper that stick out, let alone the cuts that have been made as part of the process.
