The art of making crafts is not a common skill. Sure, many people try it out, but it takes great talent to be able to make such an exquisite piece. You'll be able to come up with something all right; however, you will not be able to make anything even remotely intriguing to a stranger's eyes.
There is still hope, however. Talents can be developed, but it has to be subjected to extreme pressure first. If you do decide to hone your craft, you'll have to show your work and expect heavy criticism. By knowing your weak points, and then improving upon them, your overall talent will also get better.
Asking your friends and family for their opinion is not enough because they will try to be light with their comments. They mean well, but this will not be useful to you. A sweetened criticism is no criticism at all.
Maybe you should consider getting ahead in the game and let other people see what you can do. Presenting your works to a larger circle of people is your best bet at improving your skill level. They'll give you harsher but truer criticisms, and thus let you see your weaknesses and you can then improve upon them.
There are a good number of craft shows occurring in Idaho every year. It is important to choose the best craft show to attend, however. So when you're planning to showcase your craft, don't just go to the first craft show you see. Instead, do some research.
Nowadays, it's easy to get information from the Internet. Searching for craft fairs in Idaho is as simple as opening up a browser and typing in those same words on a search engine. Very soon, you'll be directed to a site that keeps a listing of all events that happen within the year.
Don't fear to hear harsh feedback from strangers. You'll ultimately get more praise from them, too, and only by going through the flames will your craft get better and better. - 15790
