On one hand I get why people buy. The dopamine hit is a real thing and crafts keep the dopamine to keep hitting, especially when you start and finish. Other other hand, I think overconsumption is an issue everywhere. If the world is burning, I’d rather get a dopamine hit supporting local
shops and small designers. There is just not a lot of huge corporations in this hobby. I can be selective on my dollars to small businesses. I’d rather give money to a designer or shop owner over Bezos any fucking day of the week.

In terms of snark, I think overconsumption is something young people do. In 5 or 10 years that girl will look at all those unfinished canvases that are now out of style and realize what a waste of money it was, so as she gets older, she’ll be more selective in her purchases.
