What does it mean to support a fellow artisan? For me it means any type of support I can reasonably provide. Sometimes it's a listening ear, someone to brainstorm with, being a friend, learning with them, commenting or sharing their artisan posts or when the ability suits purchasing from them. There are so many ways to be supportive.
Consider for yourself what it is to be supportive in our community. How many times has a fellow artisan shown their support for you without you even realizing it? A simple compliment or constructive feedback can make a bigger difference than we know. Sometimes our fellow artisans have major events occur and just need to hear that there is someone who cares. That little bit helps them work through the difficult time.
When one in our community is impacted it impacts us all, be it positive or negative. Being supportive and encouraging of each other is a major part of being an artisan. This isn't limited to polymer Artisans either. I have fellow artisans across nearly all media and across the world. I listen to them, encourage them, learn with them and on many cases consider them my friends.
Remember to build each other up, encourage, learn with and support where reasonably possible. This is excellent for adding more happiness, joy, contentment, comaradorie, peace etc. to the world.
Lets get inspired and motivated! Rest well and let those creative vibes flow. Never forget; you are amazing!
