The Whole Point
For any crafter we do what we do becuase we love it. However, I've run into many crafters over the years who say things like:
"I wish I had that skill."
"I wanna be able to do that ,but i just can't get it right."
"I wish I was like you."
Really the list goes on, but it comes back to the I wish, I want, You're so talented, You do so much. ETC.
As I state in many of my posts. The first trick to getting here is the drive. You want to...no need to make that neat thing. No matter what. You just have to get the vision out.
The next is to JUST DO IT!
No seriouesly, even if the first ,second third, fifth type fails, just do it till its right. I make a ton of first tries untill I finally make a good one. Failure is a fact of life. It's how we learn.
For instance. Last night I made shepards pie for the first time. I don't cook well. I tend to burn things or over salt them, or just get it wrong. Last night was a first try and while I didn't burn it or over salt it because i knew of those problems I also noted it was kind of bland. So next time, and there will be a next time, I'll add a bit more seasoning. maybe not salt, but maybe a little spice between each layer. I'll also cook it just abit longer as it was a tiny bit mushy still.
You won't learn anything without trying. It's that simple.
The next point to doing anything is half part masochism, and half part stubbornness. It goes back to the need to make that visions right. Bare in mind there's no such thing as perfect. If there was compters wouldn't break down after 10 years.
Honestly I can go on about this. But there's a youtube vidoe that covers this better. It's from one of my favorite creators. He inspired me to just jump in with armor I was trying to make back in this post.: http://kristelskreations.blogspot.com/2014/01/dystopia-rising-armor-pt-1.html
Had I not stumbled upon one of his first vidoes aroudn the time I was figureing out armor and clothing, I would never have tried making mine. Either way he covers what I've been saying from the beginnign the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPqe1aNdYuU
