Not too long ago, I talked about how monotonous life can be. As a recommended release for those who are experiencing the repetitive grind of life, I suggested going back to your roots. I suggested indulging yourself in whatever craft you used to enjoy (or even think you would enjoy) as a kid. I said it was a good idea to practice your crafts once again; to be back to your level of skill before, or even to surpass it.
Even though I acknowledge that you may feel that you're not competent or skilled enough to show anyone your finished products, I can't stress enough that you will eventually want to show your crafts to the world. Start small; maybe show your pieces to a supportive spouse or close relatives. That's all well and good, as they'll provide positive feedback that will boost your confidence levels and improve your crafts.
Eventually, though, you will have to open your circle of critiques wider than that. Sometimes, the best and truest comments you will be able to hear are from people you do not know. A trial of fire is something we all have to experience at one time. Hearing the cold, hard truth about your work will let you identify any problems or flaws and be able to improve upon it.
How do you go about this? It'll be difficult to pull off if this is the first time you've done something like this, but that is why I'm writing these articles. If you are reading this, then you probably already have Internet access, which will make the rest significantly easier for you.
Go online and search websites for different craft fairs and festivals schedules in Delaware. The websites will most likely keep a list of scheduled events, and you just simply pick the ones closest to your residential area. Communicate with the event organizers so both your parties can arrive at an agreeable arrangement. - 15246
