May I never abandon my search for and delight in inspiration! For me, it is
the butter on the bread of craftsmanship.
My hope is to hone my craft, to make beautiful and fine work, and make it
possible to take advantage of inspiration when it does hit.
I heard someone say once that great art happens where inspiration and craft
intersect.
If I don't have the skills to get myself down the road to that intersection,
I won't be there when the inspiration train comes through.
Best,
Carrie Jacobson
