One Priceless Treasure

I was out today and after finishing up some appointments I saw the craft store. I randomly was like I have some time. The temptations of the clearance section. Especially since crafting can be expensive. I of course half to explore the store. You never know when inspiration will strike. I see the slate coasters and got to wondering. I can engrave on them. Quick google search said yes, however I didnt look into the exact details. I have done a little exploring on a random rock from my parents yard before. I have also done a lot of engraving on glass as well. The little research that I did mainly had chemical or lasers is what people use. I didn't have either and I am a believer is learning, adapting, and exploring ideas with the tools you have on hand. Its the explore and master potential. I am a believer that it came out pretty good. Especially for being my first time and of course having no idea what to put on it.   

Nothing to special to write this week. I have been taking projects slow. Letting the creativity come in a timely and not forced manner. I attempted I dont know how many times to draw the chandler idea. This is my first carving attempt. Sometimes drawing doesn't bring the idea to life. Sometimes the idea comes through working with your hands. Letting the material and your hands communicate.    Chandler and Leaf video

   I took the time to really let the creativey flow. With each choice and idea, I took the time to consider the options. I made my heart believed the choice was right. My original idea was to make a memory ornament for a friend who lost a loved one. Of course I had no idea exactly what I would make.    I came to realize this project helped recenter me for what really matters. With many ideas, the random doodles started to come. I didnt let my mind have control. The real magic comes from the heart. With pondering and research the project evolved to something more powerful and meaningful full. Because I made what felt right and include things I didnt originally considered.    I helped ground me to be patient and one with the material I am working with. To take the time needed for each step. Because I dont have to have it done in 1 to 2 days. Sometimes project come through fun and impulse. I have forgotten the fun and impukse designs are right, whe...

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.
