Through trial and error, they discover which tools work best for each task and how to express their vision through their chosen medium. In any work, persistence and the pursuit of perfection lead to success.

The Price of Excellence

You may experience some isolation when you focus on honoring your craft, but over time this will require sacrifice.

Visual Description

A shirtless man kneels at a wooden bench, hammer raised in one hand and a chisel in the other as he carefully carves pentacles. Eight golden pentacles with five-pointed stars are arranged around him—on the tree, on the ground, and beside his workbench. A large tree frames the left side of the scene and a distant spire rises on the right under a softly colored sky. The number 8 is visible at the top of the card and floral ornamentation borders the image.
