Tools are needed to make a craft or a piece of art worth looking at and giving it its true value. I think that it’s the creator’s mind which gives a craft its true worth. The supplies used in making any craft are usually additions to the original creativity displayed by the craftsman/woman and are not as central to the beauty or utility of the craft itself.
Creativity is probably the best supply one can have for creating a master craft. Crafts made by inspired, creative individuals (like Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo or even a villager in rural Thailand) continue to amaze us even if their genius materialized centuries ago. Human expression in crafts does not stop there and there will be crafts built today which will continue to inspire in the future. One question does come to mind, which is what makes a craft more and more appealing through the times? The answer lies in the makers’ hands themselves, there were fewer resources available in the olden days, the amusement and expression came out by building crafts using craft supplies (like wood, stone, chisels etc) which were rudimentary and basic in nature. And the more inspired the genius became, the better the end result.
It becomes easy to lose creativity over time but with the addition of different forms of tools and artifacts, better and better crafts can be made.
Nature has given us tools around us to use so now it’s in our own hands and hard work to use that tool to create better crafts. We all can make crafts we just need right scenes to make a different and unique one.
