Project stagging

 


    For Christmas I got a treasure box and other things to help stage my work for there "photo shoot." I can honestly say that I have no idea what I am doing. But then again "I had no idea what I was doing" when I started wood carving. However, despite things not being perfect and there is a learning curve. Its fun to try and see what things I can come up with. Its also fun learning and adding new tools to my tool box. It does help with the phrase "I don't know, lets find out." And "its not perfect, but I'm giving an honest effort." Learning is of course a challenge, and exhausting sometimes. I don't strive for instant perfection I strive for progressive, positive progress. I strive for honest effort and the treasure of the journey. Because it takes investment before perfection is possible. I of course am still trying to figure out what "perfect and perfection" is because each project, idea, is an independent adventure with there own challenges.

My name is Kami. About 3 years ago I was feeling lost, confused, and stuck. I was just going through the motion of life. I knew something was missing but did not know what. I was talking to a friend and mentor who gave me a piece of advice that stuck with me. That was “you will find the way to leave a legacy.” I knew I needed a change but did not know what. This is the story of how I have developed a love for “bring to life random and creative ideas. Creating memories and treasures to cherish forever.” This ability has come through creating art through different forms. From wood carving, wood burning, glass engraving, and more. This has impacted my life all because I sat down and was willing to try. I will warn you, grammar and writing are not my strengths, but I will try my best.             February of 2022 I was feeling stuck and knew that I needed more. When I talked to my family and friends about how I was feeling I would get...

How I started

Image
       After doing research and ordering chisels I wanted to try. The process continued. The first question I asked myself was “what do I want to achieve?” The simple question of “what to make?” Through research and pondering ideas what usually comes to mind is sculptures. Sculptures are and can be breathtaking to look at. Unknowing to people is the amount of effort, skill, and tools required. I had many factors to consider for what to make, but the biggest one was “sculptures can need a good amount of space.” Do not get me wrong, they are beautiful and lovely to look at. I realized starting out I needed to focus on “the average person.” What I could create for the average person and “have a function.” I was also in the mindset that I did not want to “create clutter.” Considering that I am currently living in a one-bedroom apartment, with limited space. This was always an adventure when I cooked something. Being just me, I can only eat baked good so much before they ...
