Uniquely Yours

When you are purchasing handmade items, the first thing that you might notice is the cost. The materials and time involved in production are calculated into the cost, and that's no surprise because labor costs are a part of every commercial item. It's a fact of business life.

Artisans can't compete with the prices you will find in mass production, but then again you will never have anything unique coming from mass produced items either. By the time something enters factory level production, all individuality is completely lost. It may be pretty, but it will never be unique.

The creative process involves a lot of research, and significant pondering, that goes into every creation. There more hours looking at the different parts trying to envision how they will come together as there are actually putting them together. There's also hours of research and years of practice that goes into every item you see.  I suppose there are a few artists that have ideas pour out of their mind at a moment's notice. I haven't met them, but they might exist.

Even those items that look similar are still unique because it's nearly impossible to duplicate you efforts exactly. That's the beauty of the artisan crafts, everything you own is uniquely yours.

Perfection.
