Each one of us has a talent or two, that's pretty much a fact. Some individuals have skill with sports, some are quite excellent chefs in the kitchen. And a few have interestingly unique hobbies which most people have never even heard of. These are some qualities that make us different from the other specie on the planet.
Of all these hobbies, however, the art of crafts making is perhaps the most rewarding of them all. This is due to the fact that the hobby produces something physical and enduring. Unlike food that gets consumed, or sports that are only kept in the memory of the fans, the crafts that you make will last long after you are gone.
It will be helpful for you, as an artisan, if your crafts are infused with a hint of your personality. Inject your soul into it, if you will. This is second nature to most artists, but there are some who definitely have a difficult time applying themselves to their works. They may try, but their crafts are dull and bland.
These people, I'm afraid, are simply trying too hard. Crafts should reflect the soul, and as such the craftsperson should never try to make something that she feels aren't right. Make something that you feel like doing, and not a superficial crafting fad that you've only seen recently.
Crafting is a satisfying hobby. Once you have finished a piece, stand back and reflect; your emotions at the time you crafted this will be apparent. I prefer to do my crafted items at a time when I am in deep thought and in a contemplative state of mind. I find it adds a certain "depth" to my final piece.
Some people, though, like to make their products when they are at the other ends of the emotional spectrum: agitated or depressed. The final pieces will then take on a gloomy or harsher visage, which is also interesting for some people. Maybe for people with a bit of negativity. But this sort of style fits in with all sorts of decorative niches and such.
