Your Passion
video ricky talks about passion?
If you do not have passion, you will not put in the time, work, or practice required to build and become fluent in a personal enamel language.
The passion is the fuel that ignites the practice. The practice is what gives you muscle memory and empowers you to explore your creative process, design skills, and expression. It allows me to "make it mine".
For me, it was not the skills or techniques that excited me; it was the enamel color, layers, and light.
I enjoyed the combination of art and science.
I loved using my hands to control precision tools and paying attention to tiny details.
I aspired to make something that I imagined and "came from me".
The Passion was INSIDE of me. I could FEEL the color, layers, and light.
This was a process of self discovery, self awareness, and self expression.
there was a challenge of balancing Freedom and Control. I need both.
