One Priceless Treasure

Ive been slow the past few weeks. Because I lost focuse of my hobby and the purpose behind it. I use my hobby as an escape and creative adventure. I use my talent to help bring the imagination to reality. Being able to make and give a priceless and special treasure to people at the right time. Usually its unexpected which makes it better. The speechless moment is powerful.  I lost focus for why I am sharing my story and sharing the love of my craft. I would tell myself that when the views were low. "Im not in it for the view." Unbeknownst to me, it was causing more pressure than I realized. Because I was pushing myself to make things "just for the content." Dont get me wrong I loved making what I have. However, looking back Im not sure if it was the right ideas that I made. I do know one thing however, I was making things way to fast. Well trying to. I lost focus on the value if my time. The focus of quality of a true treasure and purpose. Because the wo...

Beauty is cherishing the process. Letting an idea evolve through the endless vision and potential you are capable of. The dream is powerful you just have to be patient and in the moment. 

Hand some fun playing with my photo booth. I have a bunch of random stuffed animals. Figured know harm with adding them into the photo. 

Sharing tips and tricks that I found work. Because drawing is hard. 1- graphing paper of sorts will be your friend  2- color code the lines (when you know you want to keep them) 3- whats your focal point? 4 - sometimes a drawing is simple inspiration and more will come in the moment. 5 - its your idea, and plan, have fun with it.

With being a crafter the hardest part is always. What to make and how to be inspired? Sometimes you may think that it needs to have some profound meaning and message. Other times your just "making it." However, you dont have the desire or passion the only purpose is a pay check.  Of course if your crafting for money getting paid is important. Especially considering this hobby is on the expensive side. Ultimately dont hesitate to try, just because its fun.  The past few weeks Ive been on the "relaxed side," because I probably over did it the week before Christmas. I dont feel bad about because "I was having fun." While I have been relaxing of course the ideas have been storming. How the flag design came to be. The painted version is beautiful. Now how do it comes alive with wood. Still figuring that out.  Now the reason behind the photo. I have been pondering and doodling different ideas. It go to the point of "let's play." I tend ...

   I was inspired with this idea. I started drawing it last night. Can I say the math to make this even, yes was difficult. Also having to make sure im "getting the right look." Of course thats a loaded task at hand.   Its difficult to have a vision and turn it into a reality. Inspiration and action can be one of the hardest things to act upon. I determined I was in the mood to paint. I chose painting first because "its mellowed than carving." I love carving but sometimes a mellow activity is a good idea. I also had no clue exactly how to pull this off. So with paint it gives me an idea. Now should I carve this out of wood. I think so. Do I know exactly when, not yet. Can't rush the motivation and the idea development.  Here's to the next year of adventures and projects.
