This works well when I am working on sculptural pieces. I
will work, reach a point where I am not sure where to
proceed, and stop and leave it for a day or two. When I
come back to it I see it with fresh eyes and can proceed. I
might do this over and over again until I look at it finally
and say to myself, "It is finished, there is nothing else to
do at this stage."
