How to Overcome Your Fear of Creating

I was always fascinated with finding objects and making projects out of them. I felt the objects were useful at one time, but once they were broken, old or no longer served a purpose, they were tossed aside. I felt those discarded still had a purpose. So, I would incorporate these objects into my artwork. At first, people thought it was "weird", but I persisted and would not allow anyone to discourage me.
