With years, creativity became my life. I started from zero. Very young, I didn't have much interest in music, in crafting or anything along those line. I was the weird kit that was doing thing differently from the others. I put different colour when coloring a clown. I didn't put brown for the shoes, no red for the nose, no orange for the hair. I was totally off the norm. I didn't felt I fit with the others, at the same thing, I liked to be different. The others didn't really came to bother me for my differences.
I liked when I was going to the psychologist. I felt free there. I could go into a room full of playthings. I could choose one and answer questions while I played. Fast forward as a teenager, I had some interest in music but I didn't have discovered all the music and musical artists that I like today. No interest in the art classes at the time. Music class was a bit interesting but the teacher was not really totally present to show us more musically wise. He had personal problem to attend to and was isolated from teaching. I haven't figured out why he didn't took a leave from teaching in that period. In those years, I started to get interested in writing.
In more recent years, let say in the past 11 years, I got into more various interests: jewelry making, fimo, soap making, candle making, returning to knitting, returning to woodburning, maturing in writing (still learning), etc... So, it is not evident to see my path now. I feel a bit a jack of all trade and master of none. What is defining me the most right now? It is as if I knew too much and that I can't choose, I can't decide what is my favorite crafting moment. Some times, I wonder if I could embrace the diversity I acquired and not bothering about anything else.
I guess I am still doing some soul searching. I didn't found my creative individuality. It is all a work in progress. I know that I am not to the teacher level of what I am good at. I had given some advices to some people. I guess that having a creative voice is not evident for everybody. I still have to work on my various craft in hoping to get an «ah-ha» moment.
