I am a creative individual.
However, it has taken me a number of years to get to a place in my life where I could relax enough to appreciate my own talents, thereby realising other's may feel the same way, and find the courage to actually put my creations out into the public domain for the judgement/pleasure of others!!
Bittersweet is the road of the creative artiste. It comes down to a clash of ability & talent vs. lack of confidence & low self-esteem. An art form in itself which may take many years to cultivate. And I thought developing my capabilities as a craftperson was my only hurdle. Nurturing who I really was inside, including ignoring my insecurities while trying to believe in myself, but knowing I DID have it in me to fulfill my dreams even if it took me a lifetime to get there! At the end of the day, I really don't give a rats patootie what anyone else thinks. I am happy doing what I am doing to make my days on this planet worthwhile. I spent too many precious crafting hours worrying about that other people might think less of me because I wasn't the regular 9 to 5er. I like it that I am the regular 'open all hours' craftperson!!!
