What does that even mean, how and why is it all about the journey versus the destination? I made this in March and I hung it up above Kitty’s bed, it still hangs there. When I see it it makes me smile. It’s weird and colorful (matches Kitty’s bedding) and not me, but very much me at the same time. It’s both my journey and the destination. // The journey is making things; having the ideas, gathering the supplies, taking the time to actually make it, the feelings of pride and my own validation. The good stuff. The destination is outward validation, looking for others to like it also, to give me a double tap, or better yet, comment, forward to friends or even purchase. Those things feel good also, but it’s just like getting paid a second time for something I’ve already enjoyed. // I’m currently working on things in this realm, wrapped work. It’s new and different from my past macrame work and it’s sort of scary. Maybe nobody will like it, or they won’t comment or forward to friends, or purchase and that’s totally ok, I got what I needed out of it already, or that’s how I feel on my better days anyway. / Want to add to this conversation? Do you make with certain feelings as you work? Do you set intentions; for work, for pleasure, for practice, for therapy? Are you all about the journey?

Solid or multi color, what is your preference? I’m thinking a wall of 4 solid neutrals, but then I go to multi brights and back and forth and back and forth. Holding back as I tell myself to push forward. I see the world in neutrals as an adult and with lots of color as I think of my girls. // Also, use code: shiptome for free shipping on this and more.

Do you have a place that you’d hang this in your home? Or know someone that should have this in their space? Please do tell. // Now available at elsiegoodwin.com, or link in bio.
