RE: Art & Design: The Joy of CREATING Something Entirely by Hand!
Great analysis of the process...
I understand completely the value of hand work. The problem is "the usual," i.e. not being able to survive on artistic output alone, and thus having to set it aside to do "paying work."
Unless you've succeeded in covering your survival basics in some automated way, there just is not enough time in the day to paint beautiful stones, or carve wood, or do whatever your artistic gift is... Or, unless you've found some wealthy patrons who so love your work that they will buy it at its true value.
And so, we artists do whatever we must do to survive...
😄😇😄
It is an ongoing challenge, to be sure. I try to work on the idea of "trickle economics" through small amounts of passive income floating in from various sources... of course, the usual challenges apply: It takes time to prepare, sow and wait for the harvest from a "garden;" whether it be something like Steemit, or Patreon or any number of other venues.
I definitely need to develop some passive income streams! Or rivers. Or drips... ;)
