Making for me is a big part of my life. I no longer think of making as something that I strive for as an alternative, but instead as first step. It is a very creative process for me. It is very rare that I will start out with any kind of plan when I am going to make something, just an idea for a finished product and then I go to work. Making is just as much about learning as it is about the finished product. Most of the time I don't get it right on the first time. After all most of the time I have no idea what I am doing in the first place. That is why I just try and experiment, and through that I am about to learn, more about what I am doing and maybe come out of the experience with some kind of finished product.
Making has become something of a “lost art”. Because of how easy it is to get anything, people no longer chose to make something them selves. The problem with this is that many innovations and new ideas come from regular people making and creating. Also whats the fun in just buying something, it is far more fun if you make it yourself.
