So here is the thing for me when I start crafting things. I don't really think about what I am doing. It just kinda goes, and goes, and goes. Shit some days it will go so long that I become obsessed with it. Especially if it is new and shiny.
One of the most difficult things for me, is to stick to one type of thing at a time. I will bounce between jewelry, and leather and feathers, and glass etching. I can't fucking stay still. For me to stay still is to die an unfulfilled life.
For me, I think that constantly moving and changing and learning is what it is all about. I love to challenge myself and see if I can fabricate an item or many. I like to figure ways around making totally unrelated components fit together like they were never meant to be apart. And yes, sometimes this takes tons of frustration and blood and tears and throwing shit across the room. It's okay.
I actually have a 'I'll work on this when I am no longer pissed' pile. This tends to save several of my otherwise scrapped projects. I suggest that you start one too.
It'll really help. Promise.
