Let's motivate each other! How did you get your motivation and decide what to make? What's your back stories?

I love to create. I've tried many different avenues but this one has got me. My mind just goes. They are very cool conversation pieces. I do custom ones also. Custom meaning family pics and such. How about you?

I have been collecting stones and gems for many years and in beading I combined my love for stones along with my love for creating new things. The passion I have for stones is what still drives me ^-^

I learned how to make wire wrapped pendants from my Reiki master over a year ago. The soaps I learned from an aromatherapy class I took last year. Ever since, I just have been going around different places collecting supplies for my creations, getting essential oils, crystals, you name it!--I even found beading kits from a trip to my parents' house that they have accumulated over the years for my jewelry making.

I get bored in lines, so I love people with things to read on their clothing.....besides killing boredom it makes great conversation starters for meeting new people.
I also hate getting home and realizing i forget something while out shopping, and keep wishing the cashier, sales person or waitress had a listing on their clothing in some way;so maybe it would trigger my memory, and i can buy the item before leaving the store and wasting the gas & time needed to go out and shop again.
Also have always loved art, taking many art classes in H.S. & college.

I have been in love with bonsai trees since the karate kid movies. Though I am in no way close to the human wrecking machine that is Daniel Russo in the MMA arena, I thought I could compete in the art if the trees.

It's so awesome reading about how each of you have been motivated to start making your little treasures!!

For me, I started making invitations for my friend's events in order to give them some special and unique. I loved hearing their reactions to the unique creations. Over time, I also learned that it was a great way for me to practice a little self-care - I work in the social work field and there's a sense of calmness when I getting lost in crafting!

I started me motivating seeing other artist who I loves theirs works.

Then I began motivating with the nature of the south of America like birds and flowers of Patagonia especially. Nature, crafts things and colors, and hand made things too are my principal motivation.
