Handmade items appeal to me on many different levels. I love knowing they were made by one individual who is usually very passionate about his/her craft. I love knowing who made the item, knowing his/her name and what motivates him/her.
I also love that handmade items are unique, different from the mass-produced items available at the local mall. Who wants to have the exact same item as all the neighbours? I’m my own person, and I want the things I own to reflect that.
Some handmade items are one-of-a-kind. Those are my favourite kind. One-of-a-kind pieces often seem extra special. Some are more complex in design and take longer to make than other pieces. Others are made with unique materials that can’t be obtained in large quantities. And some are very fanciful and seem to have pushed the maker’s creativity to new extremes. But whatever it is that makes a one-of-a-kind item special, if you buy one, you know that no one else will have an item just like it!
Here are some one-of-a-kind pieces from the members of the Starving Artists Team.
