Innermost Self

“When we make things with our hands we put into them energy which comes from our innermost self."
The Story of Writing by Donald Jackson
I love making things for people I love. After making gifts and projects over the years, I've discovered that the best gifts seem to be produced when you see the person it is being made for in your mind's eye (as opposed with you real eyes 'cos then you'd be creating a real mess of work, right?). Or rather, with the thought of who that gift is going to always in mind. Color choices, flourishes, ornament, and everything else that goes into the crafting of an item all come from that innermost self where your feelings for the individual are intermingled with all the doubts, fears, memories, and hopes and dreams for the future with them.
