Creativity takes courage altered tray

 

Being a crafter means not just to make craft projects, but sometimes to make a definition about what crafting means to you. This altered tray was made as my own tribute to crafters and to myself and it's full of all creative encouragement quotes. Everything in this tray is connected to creativity and it's totally all about me art piece.
