Materials and making

I’m lucky to have access to a lot of nice tools and materials.

But the most creative fun I’ve had over the past couple of days employed leftover cardboard, discounted acrylic paint, and four cheap brushes I found in a cup beside our utility sink.

Joy has much more to do with focus, engagement, and interest — and much less to do with the presumed quality of our tools and materials.

It’s the making that matters to the heart.
