Creating Things

+

+ Creating things is something that my family has always held as something very important. + We tend to operate more on the building fixing side of things but there is something sacred in any act of creation. + I wrote about this feeling in Midnight Musings when I was unable to sleep. +

+

+ I dabble. + I know that I won't make a website as beautiful as one that a design studio could. + I can't build furniture as well as a carpenter. + I don't write as beautifully as an author. + But I try to do all these things. +

+

+ The quality of the output is sort of the point. + I certainly want to make anything as well as I possibly good. + If I am going to try and do it I want to try and do it well. + However if it was the only point then I would go to professionals for these sorts of things. + The point is the act of creating itself. + The objects wind up with a story. + And that magical thing that is a human touch. +

+

+ With mechanised creation it is all to easy to make things that are essentially perfect. + No rough edges but also no character. + They fade into the background of life. + I use them and they work perfectly fine but I don't think about them the same way that I do my wallet say. + Which is from Open Sea Leather. + Made by one person, I got to pick out the colours of the leather and the thread. + Every time I handle it I feel a small connection to the maker on the other end and and silently thank them for their work. +

+

+ I feel that connection to my past self when I use things that I have made. + The younger Awstin with his excitement, and by definition knowing less than I know now. + I learned from that act of creation and could probably do much better the second time or more. + These things encompass so much more then what they are. +

+

+ The old worn chestnut of journey over destination. + Cliche but does fit. + There is little value in just being somewhere or having something. + I guess what I am trying to say is that life, the depth of life for me is lived in stories. + What was and what could be. + Handmaking something gives it a story and thus a little spark of life. +

+ +

+ I have been pondering a lot lately on the act of creation and of making things. + Getting more in touch with that as I have been tinkering more and more. + Building out the website for our wedding and other small projects. +

+ +

+ I love to cook, however very much hate recipe websites. + Too much extra stuff. + I want to build a place to store and share my recipes without any of that. + Will be added to the cooking page when I get it set up. + For now it is just my thoughts on the activity. +
