Unique Handcrafted Gifts

Support handmade by buying handmade

There are tons of artists out there with fantastic work that never gets discovered.  They never get discovered because people skip their items and go straight for the Tiffany's, the Gap, the mass produced products.  I have created this lense to give a little shout out to those of us that do make handmade and I hope that someone at least makes a sale from being discovered here.  There are tons of places to purchase handmade items including, etsy.com and artfire.com just to name a couple.

 

With handmade items you know you will never get a duplicate, each piece will be slightly different from the piece before.  The small "mistakes" make the item that much better to own, they all have character.  Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of poorly made things out there and those mistakes can't be justified, but even the best handmade products still have their flaws which make them beautiful.  I hope you enjoy the items below and I'm sure any of these artists would love to hear from you if you like their work.
