I’m on Tumblr with one of the little DIY craft blogs over there and I guess you would call me a huge curator of crafts I like. I don’t think that all curators are not creators – because in “real life” I’m very much a creator on YouTube, in my artistic work, and for my job. I pick the DIY crafts I do because I plan on “creating” them in the future. I hope and know that my blog has inspired young people who thought they didn’t have a creative bone in their body to actually go create something (and I love posting photos of their creations), and I find once someone creates one thing it spurs them on to think, “What can I make next?” I also think that my collection of crafts on my blog allows readers to begin to think outside the box (if they aren’t already), and isn’t that a good thing? Also, self promotion – no one knows how many followers I have :) Thank you for posting this thought provoking video.

Cowbird is a beautiful world. It slows you down in the hustle of bustle of life. It inspires you with stories from amazing people. It is a place where you’re grateful for humanity. It’s a humbling experience to be part of it. I’ve just joined Cowbird a few weeks ago and it has filled me with surprises and gratitudes each day.
