Create

I've already posted about handmade things on our family blog. But this is my blog and so I wanted to talk about it again.

Because tonight I got out my buttons and my wire and I went to town creating.
I love taking materials that are just sort of okay on their own and then seeing them become something wonderful when you put it all together.
There is a beauty in creating something from scratch that just doesn't come from buying an object at a store. (Although I do love shopping too, for very different reasons. And I wouldn't want to make everything. Just some things.)
I think what I love about the entire creation process is that when I am done, something exists that wasn't there before. And there will never be a piece exactly the same. Because I am continually growing and changing, as are my interests and therefore my art.

I wonder what I'll make tomorrow.
