Soap making and jewelry making are now big trends. Craft in general seems to have public favor, now. Home made is now big. People seems to see the potential in doing themselves some necessities. Is it the perfume of the time? People seems also kind in starting their own crafty business. Be it in soap, jewelry, decal, journal, calendar, pictures on clothes, etc.
Maybe the economy is partly at fault. Maybe people are fed up buying some items on a recurrent basis. Maybe doing homemade goods and selling it are fun for some people. It is dizzying to look at on site like etsy (etsy.com). Is it a trend or just something that will stay?
I just find myself in a ocean of crafters. I feel a bit lot in all this creativity. There are techniques that I learned and like. I just feel lost in all this. Maybe I am in a moment where I question myself. I don't have that kind of problem when I am right in the middle of a project. Is it good for myself to find a niche when I can't stick in one area? I have been creative my whole life. Way before all that turmoil. Now, it make me wonder if I am right where I belong. I always felt outside the box and now, it feel strange to be a insider. I just not used to it. It force me to define myself against that movement. Where does I stand. In this crowd, where my place and my voice.
Will I find my center? I am the only one on that quest.
