Some search for their career path. Some search for their sexual orientation. Some search for the meaning of life. Some people are on quests to find answers. My question is the same for the past few years: what is my craft? Of course, being a jack of all trade have it's advantages. I have various knowledges, I am not a specialist. I just want to know if I can do something good, even to perfection and better than all the crafting that I know.
It seems evident for other people to know their biggest expertise, even if they can have knowledge in connected area of their expertise. I can't say the same. I had received many compliment on various projects that I made. Nothing had come out as exceptional. No one had praised me about one of my varied projects more than the others. So, I don't have any idea where my strong area in crafting are.
I am too close of all the projects that I am doing to be a good judge. My entourage is like all entourage: they compliment me whatever the result, even if I am dissatisfied with what I made. I can see the imperfection in my work. It is not being a judge of what I had made, it is more with getting a good job, being a bit perfectionist. I sometimes wonder if the ultimate test is selling my creations. Could be but I am not ready to do it. I have my own uncertainty. I hesitate to put a toe in the selling waters. I am not the only one to think that, I guess. I better find a way to answer the question by another mean but I have not find it yet.
Maybe the real question is: what craft makes me special and unique?
