Everyone has talent; that much is certain. Some people are good with particular sports, some are adept in the kitchen, and a select have hobbies that most people haven't even heard of. These hobbies keep each of us different. It is one of the traits that humans have that separates us from the other species.
The art of making crafts is arguably the most enriching and satisfying of these hobbies. Maybe this is due to the fact that the maker creates something that is both physical and long-lived. Unlike culinary delights that get eaten as the end of the art, or sports that will live on in the memories of fans, handcrafted works will last longer.
It will be helpful for you, as an artisan, if your crafts are infused with a hint of your personality. Inject your soul into it, if you will. This is second nature to most artists, but there are some who definitely have a difficult time applying themselves to their works. They may try, but their crafts are dull and bland.
They are simply trying a little bit too hard. Crafted works should reflect an artist's soul, and as such the craftsperson should refrain from forcing himself from making something that doesn't feel right or he doesn't want to. Make something that you really want to do and don't go for the next trendy craft that comes along.
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. - 15246
