Closest to my Father
It starts with a picture in my head.
Slowly it forms,
It twists, sometiems changing shape.
Eventually it finds its way
Onto some form of parchment.
Blurred to almost incomprehension,
I figure out the dimensions necessary.
The materials used are most important,
They always have their own story to tell.
I try to put my feelings into what I create,
Hopefully it's recognized for what I intended.
I feel closest to my Father
When I'm creating.

Cool! What do you make?
Growing up, my father taught me that if I can't afford it..build it! I've built furniture (including the bed I sleep on now), tables, Humidors (for cigars), jewelery boxes..It's all up to the imagination. I'm learning how to carve wood, but thats a lifelong skill to attain it seems.
