![Accidental art created by Mark Bracco. Photo of paintbrushes and paint stirrer stuck in resin. The placards for the art pieces read "Mark Bracco/Stuck #1 2019/Paintbrush resin/Collection of the artist"; "Mark Bracco/Stuck #3 2020/Paintbrush resin/Collection of the artist"; "Mark Bracco/Stuck #2 2020/Paint stirrer resin/Collection of the artist"; and "Mark Bracco/Stuck #4 2020/Paintbrush resin/Collection of the artist."](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b7ad25_d88b9f7a0b9842ee8e4fffab413f9e2b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_144,h_135,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/b7ad25_d88b9f7a0b9842ee8e4fffab413f9e2b~mv2.jpg)
My husband told me he had created "accidental art," and showed me a paintbrush that had gotten stuck in resin. Its gravity defying position did inspire awe.
I loved the idea of accidental art, where you are aware and open enough to notice when a mistake has created value.
When I told my husband I was going to blog about this, he brought out more pieces of his accidental art. He had a collection of it.
When I went to photograph the art, I realized they needed placards to take them to the next level. With the series name of "Stuck," the art started to work on a metaphorical level. The placards made me realize how packaging and presentation can add to the value of a product.

Are you overlooking the value of what a mistake created?
Can you package yourself or your product so that it commands more respect?
