Finishing is great, but the what I enjoy the most is working on the project, and tend to feel a bit sad when it's done.

All of it. I make things in Blender and Photoshop, and the whole process draws me in.

Enjoy seeing my vision become a reality!

The entire process. Deciding on the project. Gathering materials. Starting. Working on it. Finally finishing it. By that time, you’re sick as shot of it and are ready to move on to the next one.

To me exciting and satisfying aren't equivalents. I'm excited when I come up with a new idea and begin working on it. I'm satisfied (I hope) when I've finished it. Anyway, on to the next excitement!

Starting a project makes me feel good. Usually by the middle I am tired of it and can't wait to finish. The big payoff is the finished project. I can look at what I accomplished and appreciate the hard work and results.

I'm not a major crafter, but I DO like to crochet. I'm not the greatest since I taught myself, but it is very relaxing. But for ME, I like finishing the project. I get a real sense of accomplishment. Of course, I only crochet for loved ones, so I like to finish so I can present whatever it is that I did for that individual.

I like the little sense of accomplishment that comes with finishing a thing. ?

For me, it's starting the project. I'm always super excited to start working on what I've got in mind, but after hours of working on it, I inevitably become less excited.
I started a cute little loom knit stuffed elephant a couple months back, but haven't had the chance to work on him for a while.

For some reason I love projects but then just want to see what they look like when done I can’t wait to finish them and it’s a mad dash towards the finish!

Actually being in the middle. The creative process itself is the most interesting part for me.

Starting a project is the freakin' best....that 'design spiral' that goes on in my head....the grunt work in the middle is fine, but generally, I am already designing my next project during that....finishing is awesome and then suck....I often get 'post product depression'....especially on big new ideas....which is why I have learned to have a constant 'NEXT!' design. The very moment it is done and the idea worked is pretty awesome....but I completely understand people who bake...take a picture of their product, and then throw it away....I've done similar when I felt my new idea needed the metal I had just used....'yeah, that's nice, but the next idea is way better!'...

Finishing one...lol. I got 2 more to finish. Wife wants them done. I got so much to do...lol.

The start and the finish I would say are the best parts and the rest is really good too.

over time, my drawing style has turned into a sort of game or experiment. i start with a basic shape or line or squiggly thing. from there, i just see where it goes. i have no idea most of the time what its going to end up being, and sometimes when its done, i still don't know exactly. i may see lots of little things in it, or even know while im drawing those little things, what they are. but i don't often know what they will be when they are all put together. the point in my art is to make people think. i like to see how two different people can look at the same thing, and see such completely different things. so i guess my favorite part is seeing peoples reaction, but not exactly in a vain sort of way.

For me the most satisfying part is not really finishing the project but rather being able to enjoy the product. For example, for my master-bedroom’s bathroom window I designed and built a 200ish piece stained glass window. Designing it was tedious, building it was countless hours of not fun, but when the South sun hits the window where the glass once cooked interior, a pattern of colors softly illuminates the room. For me, this is the satisfying part of projects.

Perhaps it is lack of confidence, although I have done enough carvings to be confident in my ability yet when I do a woodcarving I find myself doubting it will turn out the way I want, until I actually finish. I don't feel this (as much) with other types of projects but still, the best part is finishing it up and seeing if it came out as hoped.

Starting a project is exciting but actually finishing it is much more satisfying.

I have so many going on that when I complete one I just want to get naked and run through my field. I do regret not having the foresight to invest in Michales and Hobby Lobby at the beginning of the recession.
