I Create Collectibles, But I Don’t Collect Anything Myself

ADVERTISEMENT

Collecting is one of the ways of self-expression and identification. You can understand the preferences, tastes, worldview of its owner by the collection.

For many people this hobby has not monetary, but emotional value. These items help to maintain a connection with their childhood and youth, to overcome the anxiety associated with the break with the past. Some people are attracted to the excitement and the hunt for something unique.

When I was a kid, I was also a kind of collector. I collected various old postage stamps and handmade clay figurines. The very process of collecting always evoked a lot of emotions that made me feel fulfilled. It’s an indescribable feeling.

Now that my work is directly related to creating potential collectibles, namely making glass figurines, I increasingly ask myself, “Why don’t I collect my own work?”

I am certainly proud of them, they are like my children, I am their creator, yet none of my popular glass spiders adorn my shelf yet.

But what about other people’s shelves? You know, my customers often share with me pictures of figurines that have already arrived for them. some people just amaze me.

If you take a look at the photo below, you’ll see for yourself.

I would be happy to get feedback!

    These people have always ordered my spiders in large numbers, but I didn’t pay much attention to it until I saw THIS PHOTO.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
