Each one of us has a talent or two, that's pretty much a fact. Some individuals have skill with sports, some are quite excellent chefs in the kitchen. And a few have interestingly unique hobbies which most people have never even heard of. These are some qualities that make us different from the other specie on the planet.
Of all these hobbies, however, the art of crafts making is perhaps the most rewarding of them all. This is due to the fact that the hobby produces something physical and enduring. Unlike food that gets consumed, or sports that are only kept in the memory of the fans, the crafts that you make will last long after you are gone.
Thus, it is helpful for your crafts to bear a hint of your own personality. This will naturally come into play, but it bears noting that there are some who fail at this. They try and try, but the crafts that they create come out as lifeless and bland.
These individuals are simply trying a bit too hard, I'm sure. Crafted artworks should mirror the soul, and thus, the craftsperson should not try to do something she doesn't really feel like making. Make something you want to do, and don't jump on the bandwagon and follow a fad or trend you've only seen.
Crafting is a richly rewarding hobby. Notice that your emotions at the moment you crafted the items, will also be apparent in the final product. Personally, I prefer to do my crafted works when I'm in a thoughtful mood, as it adds a bit of "depth" to the piece.
Likewise, some people like to do their crafts when their moods are at a different end of the spectrum. They wait until they are angry or depressed and then they craft away. Their final pieces take on a "wilder" or "gloomier" feel to it. Which works for some people, as well. This sort of style fits in with all sorts of decorating disciplines. - 16036
