I have a dear friend who thinks that she is not creative or skilled in making things. The other day I was at her house and found this winged horse amongst a smattering of her daughter’s toys. I fell in love with its simplicity and the perfect execution of her daughter’s request for a horse with wings. Without hesitation, my self-proclaimed "non-creative" friend had cut and stitched the horse from scraps in a matter of minutes. The little loved horse has journeyed around town and through the washing machine inside a pocket a number of times. It is important to remove judgment and worry about how your audience will receive what you create. Perhaps this is why making things for young children often comes without hesitation and self-doubt. Too much judgment will surely inhibit (and maybe even destroy) the outcome. My advice for you “non-creative” types: Just go for it (should you have a small child as your intended audience or not).
