Update: My carpet art idea fell apart on the floor

I got this bright idea to cut a wave pattern into some leftover carpet for my workshop. Thought it would be a fun side project to break up the monotony. I sketched it out freehand and started cutting with my regular knife. The curves ended up all wobbly and the pieces won't lay flat together. Now I've got a bunch of weird shaped scraps that are useless. It's frustrating because it looked so easy in my head. Guess I'll leave the fancy stuff to the artists with better tools.

Used to think it looked easy too.

Seriously, I tried baking sourdough last year. Looked so simple on Instagram but was a total mess. Ended up with a brick instead of bread.

Yeah, @jackson.sage, so many things seem simple until you actually try them yourself.

Wait, you tried sourdough and got a brick? I'm honestly impressed it held a shape at all. My attempt just spread out into a sad, sour pancake on the baking sheet. The videos make it look like the dough just magically knows what to do.
