The Artist Behind the Build

The Artist Behind the Build

Are you an artist? A builder of sorts?

I was going through old notes today and found a few quotes I tried to live by when I ran my leatherworking business. They weren’t marketing lines. They were standards — reminders of how I wanted to build, and why.

Even now, they still apply.

I build the way it should be built

With heart.
With soul.
With passion and creativity.

A good builder takes what you have and builds what you want

An artistic builder takes what you give them and builds an extension of who you are.

Great skills will only get you so far

To make a project great, you need passion behind the hands.

Don’t ever follow the crowd or the trend

Lead the crowd with vision and emotion.

A perfect piece comes from

• Heart

• Dreams

• Emotion

• Passion

Craft isn’t about perfection. It’s about intention.
