Practical craft project and debunking a myth

There is something attractive in practical craft project.  Its those projects that end up with a object that is uselful and nothing is wasted.  Practicality is a big plus for me.  I found a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAtdT3Ar-aU) that show how to do a cutlery pouch with a napkin that go along,  So, no more need to buy plactic ustensils.  I didn't have thought of that but it is a promising project to make.  I am not that good for sewing, even with a machine, so, it is out of my lead.  It look so easy on the video, even if it look rushed a little bit.  For sure, she seems to be very sure of herself.

It all comes up with finding the right idea for the right task, it seems.  I found another video on debunking the myth of the torutre artist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv5-O-jP2i8&list=WL&index=2600).  There is a link, at least, in my head.  Creating an useful items makes someone a creator and in extension, an artist.  Designing the ustensils pouch was thoughtful, yes, but it was also an idea.  I don't know if the person had thought a lot on the fabric and how to do it long.  No one saw the creative process but it may not have been hurtful or out of a painful situation.  It was probably more: «Oh, I don't want to buy a plastic fork.  I better find something to do the work.»

There is so much myths for various area of our lives.  Why carrying them when there isn't much truth to them?  The torture artist may want to be in that way but the process is her own.  Each artist have a way to work, being tortured or not.  The mind work for itself and not for the others.  I like to explore and try various things.  There was time that I have stumble on something while trying something new.  Other times, it was more while trying to find a solution to a problem during creation.  Creating can hurt because turning an idea to a solid product can be hard.  This is where the tortured artist myth may have risen.  Well, it is my theory.  It may be part of a bigger whole but now, it is where I am at.  An idea can evolve throught time or it can be the same.  It is just a matter of the person being ready to create.
