Yeah that's pretty neat.
89th, do you know about wabi sabi? "Wabi sabi is the beauty of imperfect things. Of course, that would be overly simplistic explanation for such a deep and profoundly rooted notion in the Japanese spirit. Something between an artistic concept, a philosophy of life and a personal feeling, wabi sabi is everywhere in Japanese culture.

Pretty cool. Similar to the desire for stuff "with character".
I love this kind of approach to living, including my living space. There is also great meaning to having your own handmade items in your living area, both indoors and outdoors. The process of designing, selecting materials, creating, and placing is all part of the enjoyment in working on art that you live with, including the pieces that are meant to be useful, not just for viewing.
I especially appreciate the relaxation from certain steps of the process. Some parts of it are very challenging, and others are very calming, engrossing, even meditative. There's also a sense of personal growth as you see improvement in your skill set that's rewarding.
Perfection is not the goal. There's so much more to it.
