It's widely shown on all the craft pages that I visit that there are some extremely talented crafters out there. So much so that many of us less talented crafters feel slightly intimidated to show our own makes. The sites are friendly and there is a community of supportive members, but for us self conscious crafters we sit back and admire, not wanting to put our creations on show. Craft Carnage is a Facebook page where crafters of all abilities are welcome to not only show case their great makes, but you can post your mistakes in a light-hearted way with a group of truly friendly crafters. What Craft Carnage does is allow us crafters to be 'not perfect'. It's okay to not be perfect and I am certain that even the most talented card maker makes errors sometimes.
Nuvo Drops from Tonic Studios comes up a lot on the feed, plenty of smudged drops adorning cards that have had time and love dedicated to them, only for the drops to go awry. Craft Carnage showcases those cards anyway. And the community rallies round with suggestions to save the item, or just to show support regardless.
I set up Craft Carnage many months ago with the aim to celebrate all things craft, good or bad, and the page is going from strength to strenth.
Pop over for a visit - and remember 'it's okay to not be perfect'.
Well done Sarah. So true, and even the best of them make errors. However they don't put them on Facebook because they're sometimes for showcasing a particular product. 😏
ReplyDeleteInteresting - I am sure you're right. Wouldn't do to share mistakes if you're representing a company and their products.
DeleteThere are no rules in craft it's all about learning, growing and creating. I've been crafting for many years and still have mishaps.
