When I was in school, we had subjects like Craft and Art. I wasn't very interested in these subjects while I was a student. I used to be lazy to actually create my own crafts. But once I started working, I don't know what changed, but I started feeling the need to create. May be it was due to the fact that office life is mostly about the technical field and there isn't much of creativity there. As years passed, I felt the need to creatively express myself, in order to get back in touch with me! And that is how the whole idea of 'Carry What You Make' started.
Imagine having an idea, bringing it to form (which requires a lot of patience and time), and then using it. So if I feel like owning a bag, I think of the color and other details of it and I then create it. At the end of it, I feel happy and light that I made something.
I have always loved simplistic kind of style. And these days I like Indian, simple, colorful kind of fashion. 'Handmade, Handcrafted, Handloom'...all of these words are what describe what I love.
So what are the benefits of creative expression?
Creating something helps us all in some way or the other. So if you are someone who likes playing the guitar, then may be you can think of a new tune and compose it. Or if you are someone who loves cooking, then you can try a new recipe of your own. What ever interests you, take sometime out to give it form. This whole exercise is very liberating. It gives us a voice in the world. It expresses what we have to say out into the world.
We need to create without expecting anything in return. We need to create for the joy of creating. We need to create to patiently see what comes out of our efforts.
So the next time you feel called to create something, give it a try!
