I think it would be great if we could say more about ourselves and share our stories with others if we made our own clothing and customised it.
That satisfaction of when you make something and can say to someone "I made that" , is such an amazing experience.
After scouring the internet I found this painting based on the famous story belt by Chris.
"The joy of life comes from our encounters with new
experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an
endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new
and different sun."~Christopher McCandless

Heather has really captured the belt perfectly in this painting and really expresses how creative a person Chris was and manifests his inward vision out into the world. He didn't allow himself to be restricted he expressed his inner thoughts in the way he lived.
Which I think is what is great about learning skills, It gives you the chance to bring your dreams and inner thoughts into much more vividly using a wide range of media. Learning old crafts and skills gives you such a big pallet of media to paint your ideas much more vividly and bring them into the physical world, to share with others.
Learning old crafts and skills really open your eyes, mind and for a second allows you to think and feel like the people of the past as you try to solve the same challenges.
I've found it can be a real challenge finding the resources such as the right leather and also the old skills to undertake such a task but it really adds to the feeling of success once it's finished.
