One idea that I found interesting and challenging was the guerrilla kindness. I love how there are people that have such a kind heart that take the time to make something small for someone to find, just to make a person smile. These people do this without any knowledge of what happens to their crafts or if it even results in a smile. The challenging part for me would be to keep going if I did not see anyone reacting or finding the things I had made. In the reading there were some people who posted and made it their mission or "goal in life" to find one of the crafts and that would make it all worth it for me. Knowing that there are people out there who do these random acts of kindness just shows how there is emotion behind art and other crafts. There was not anything in the reading that confused me, it was very interesting to read. The readings did make me think how people really can use their crafts to make a statement or even create influence politically. It is easy for me to forget about the people making the craft and just think that "yea that's pretty" instead of truly looking at what the piece is saying or trying to convey. It was really eye opening to see that statements have been made with knitting too.
