1337 Art's handmade inspiration
I started making jewelry for myself after never being able to find something of quality and value at department stores. I found out about 1337 Art, 21, Fashion Designer / Business Owner, 1337art.etsy.com |
Julie at Creative Genius's handmade inspiration
5 years ago I opened a gallery that exclusively sells handmade items. I think as Americans we do not always support our own culture and I think handmade items are a big part of what makes up a culture. One thing I admire about Europe is the focus that is placed on the arts and here in the United States, people have this Walmart mentality. Instead of focusing on the quality of handmade items, people go cheap. It was refreshing to come across this site...hope it inspires a ton of people to appreciate the little bit of personal energy that goes into every handmade creation and that gets transfered from creator to buyer.

Transition from supporting WAHMs to becoming one
I started out buying handmade because of cloth diapers. I knew I wanted to use cloth even before my first child was born. At that time I thought there were only a few stores that sold diapers - boy was I wrong. I soon got introduced to the world of WAHMs!

I believe that it is incredibly important to support art and to be creative. Mamakopp, 32, mother that does everything, www.livenlearnnow.com |
What inspires me to buy and make handmade? I have a hard time nailing down one thing. I guess I grew up in an environment that cherished handmade. EarthMuffin, 29, Work at home mom, hyenacart.com/EarthMuffin |
