Thus giving the item a Soul. Thereafter, it lives of its own accord – generating a pleasant feeling just through gazing at it, or not generating such... Creation is responsibility.
To create for children is a special responsibility, because they learn from that which they feel. Love can only be learned through feeling.
I truly believe that anything – be it drawn, etched or grown in a flowerbed is infused with the maker's sense of life and thoughts.
... I enjoy working with my hands. With a brush and pencil, with a calligraphic rapidograph, computer mouse, or fine Swiss wood chisel. Or with a drill, if the situation really demands it, or likewise with the finest silk thread. I like not clinging to form, but enjoying it. I like details and nuances.
...and I like the fact that I LIKE.... doing all this! This feeling of internal exultation. It wins me over.
Think up!
Yours sincerely, Gunta Zaļaiskalna
