It's also a way for us artists to leave a small part of ourselves in a positive way in our world.DesignedWith Glass-Carrie Millenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16119770831729955079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978485450778492680.post-39868287751339762052008-07-06T15:50:00.000-07:002008-07-06T15:50:00.000-07:00"Join us at the Design Style Guide in taking back ..."Join us at the Design Style Guide in taking back the “art” of commerce."<BR/><BR/><BR/>huzzah!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978485450778492680.post-61214960928427363142008-07-05T10:04:00.000-07:002008-07-05T10:04:00.000-07:00beautifully said. American culture has had too muc...beautifully said. American culture has had too much of a consumer disconnect. I can't tell you how different it is buying an item from an artist or crafter who really puts a part of themselves into their work. I believe everything you make has a little part of you...a happy part.<BR/><BR/>What part is this if you go to the big box stores and buy something made by someone unhappy trying to support their families on almost nothing wages, or some even in modern day slavery.Your buying someone else's sadness. How could these items enrich your life? <BR/><BR/>They can not even be compared to real handmade or handcrafted by artists in love with their medium. People in love with art, in love with craft. <BR/><BR/>You can change your buying habits by making conscience decisions to support local artists and crafters or those of us online, and in doing so enrich your own life as well as not contribute to the consumer disconnect.Village gossiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840379773531940121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978485450778492680.post-12198265892892984482008-06-28T21:44:00.000-07:002008-06-28T21:44:00.000-07:00Yes, it is so exciting to be involved in this move...Yes, it is so exciting to be involved in this movement at this time.
