When you make a gift for someone in a way that you never have before, you’ll be facing uncharted territory (aka facing a path of problem solving and learning). This is wonderful news, for you’ll not only be blazing the way for other artists (provided you share your findings), but you’ll also be keeping your noggin in tip top shape.
Boost your self-esteem.
Finding a problem and fixing it lets you prove to yourself that you are capable of dealing with unexpected situations and making decisions that deliver – a job skill that’s high in demand.
Knowing that there’s always an opportunity to problem solve later allows you to make mistakes, and let imperfect creation thrive.
It’s not a waste of time.
Even if you end up throwing your creation away, it’s okay. Solving the problems that arise, and trying out something without fear will be invaluable for future projects. You might be able to brainstorm new techniques to use later, which will add to your repertoire of knowledge about your art.
