bonni.b Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Neuroscientists have finally gotten it - crafting is good for us. Well, if they'd just asked us, we'd have told them that making miniatures is the path to happiness, now wouldn't we? http://www.cnn.com/2014/03/25/health/brain-crafting-benefits/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miraclechicken Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 This is a really good article. I can relate in so many ways. I was in fight or flight mode for literally every minute of every day for years. Then, when I lost little Miracle, I was a basket case and sat and carved cats, many many cats...they were dreadful because I was a wreck, but I learned.....a lot.....that's apparently how I channeled the horrid grief. Now I totally relate to what they referred to as flow, I put on my favorite music, start working and I am completely absorbed, lost in the moment for hours, in the zone. It's magic......

Wm. R. Robertson Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 Well we all know when working on our miniatures how easy it is to forget about the real world....... And so much more fun....... And people give you money to do it which can keep you from joining in the real world with all it's problems....... What a life!
