Recently I have enjoyed making little rooms/ boxes for others as gifts.
I cannot tell you the enjoyment of trying to reflect their personality and interests in miniature.
One of them,as I may have already mentioned, has yet to be opened as it is a Christmas present. Because I was visiting in the summer, they have already got the parcel, carefully wrapped.
I am ridiculously excited to see if they like it. But I am a little afraid too because I have put so much into it that if they aren’t thrilled to bits, I will be disappointed.
Maybe I need to realise that this is my passion, no one else who doesn’t share that can feel like I do. No ones response can be enough unless they too know the effort, mental and physical that goes into it.
Slowly I have come to realise that any artistic endeavour, painting, writing and crafting is most important to the creator.
Like a reflection of life, I should not need anyone else’s validation of what I do.
It is my hobby and if I am enjoying it then that is enough.
A Harry Potter robe made for a scene for me.
