Gifts From An Artist
I was at a craft fair a week or so ago and most of the items were being re-sold. That is, items purchased in China or some other far away land, and then called "crafts" and then re-sold at the church bazaar. I saw charms like these...with perfectly applied solder...that took 2-4 weeks to order...and cost $48 each. $48? That's when I went into "I can make THAT" mode.
I didn't do any black Friday shopping... on small business Saturday (TODAY) I am going to cruise ETSY and buy a couple of things from artisans who are also competing against big box stores...and that's it. Think of the little guy..
I'm proud of these. Proud that I spent a log time accumulating all of that art... proud of the imperfect solder...and proud I can offer them to you for $19. Thank you for your visit!
PS- did you see the Art Gallery Tour yesterday? LOTS of beautiful art from the online workshop, Act Natural!
