Truth time: I have zero to no craft. It's weird, because I'm not bad at.. you know.. drawing (not to brag) and that's sort of a hand eye coordination thing, right? Well my friends that's where the buck stops. I can't wrap presents, I'm terrible at cutting a straight line with scissors.. you get the picture.
Yet I yearn to make pottery. I wrote about this last year, and it took me until last month to take the plunge and sign up for a class at the Northern Clay Center. Guess what? Yep, my craft is still terrible. But I had a fantastic time anyway. It was super fun to feel like maybe I was getting a little better, and now I have two cups and a small bowl, with two more bowls on the way!
Check 'em out....
I don't know how I got this effect with the glaze, but now I have a new bowl for my rocks
another glaze mishap - not enough for my decorations to show up! But isn't this white gorgeous?
I have a friend who is very similar. She claims she does not have any crafty-ness in her whatsoever, yet she is a fantastic graphic designer. I thought, well think of the possibilities that opens up. Calligraphy is something that most crafters love to mimic and they do it through practice. I think just practicing makes creations better over time. And by the way, I don't think that your creations illustrate a lack of craftiness. They are artistic and beautiful. Much love.
