Make Do

Why? That is forever the question, isn’t it. Why do we make and do? Also, can we just put in our 10,000 hours spread over a thousand different things?

Homework for the episode is to find something you’ve made and put it in a frame.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that having space to do art is an amazing feeling. (Never mind that first time you get to say ”my studio” out loud… ) But spending money on your art, be it a hobby or a business, is not always an unadulterated joy

Introductions! Tiff and Julia share a little about themselves and their relationship to art and creativity. And Bob Ross.

The writer Julia can’t remember the name of is Ira Glass, who talked about the ”taste gap” or ”creative gap” when you know what’s good but can’t get there yet. (Read more at Brain Pickings or AdWeek.)

More from Tiff at Top Four and Playing for Fun. And Julia at Romancepodden, Rätt avigt, and Skott från höften (in Swedish).
