It helps me if I see the hashtags as a message (search text) of their own.
Howto is more if you show something just like #diy
You could use #crafts as well but it is good to use something one would look for.
I wouldn't typo your hashtags on google to find this painting.
It would be more like
artonsteemit art painting acrylic african man
Something like that and this means these are your hashtags. You could make a list with personal hashtags and use them.
I really like the idea of creating a list of hashtags to work with, that way I don't get conflicted when I get to that stage next time
Thank you very much
