Creative Entrepreneur
My personal philosophy for building a long term successful career as an artist combines following things;
I would like to share few points that I try to live by and would highly recommend.
Handicrafts play an important role in the development of the contemporary creative economy.
Handicrafts make people use their hands and skills to create useful handmade products, using available resources and thus developing the creative economy through small creative industries.
Therefore, giving personal development opportunities could help people to build up their high-quality business and art performing.
Knitting and crochet is a centuries oldest needle work handicrafts, it is a process of creating textured fabric by interlocking loops of yarn by means of a needle hook.
The aim behind this creative mind is to produce high-quality crochet products(toys and garments) with distinctive designs using the available materials and to consider different types of marketing to deliver their products to consumers.
You need to be very clear about what it is you are making, you are been taught how to hold the yarn and the needle hook, how to read the written patterns,basic stitches and skills, how to put these factors together to design a product.
Toys and garments produced using different yarn types (Cotton and wool ect...) with different yarn counts according to the design. The produced toys and garments were creatively designed and professionally executed. Production cost and profit margin for each piece were calculated.
Thus, the crochet is one of the most high profit craft activity to develop small-scale enterprises, though it is an old craft but it can be updated to keep pace with modern fashion lines.
Today young ladies in Bhutan were interested in developing their skills and investing leisure in something useful and profitable.Therefore most of them showed a noticeable response, fexibility,curiosity, imagination,creativity and sense of design.
It has been found that the prices of hand knitted and crochet toys and garments can compete with similar pieces in the market, considering the possibility of carrying out any individual design with any size and any color according to customers choice and request.
Therefore, the success in the creative economy depends on both creativity and commercial talents.
So, to be successful as a creative entrepreneur,one should understand the application of art and craft,which depends on personality and individual talents.
