| My view most days |
With
Valentine’s Day approaching I’m going to make the effort to find some small
designers to buy my cards from. There’s something much nicer about a card that’s
been crafted with care rather than compiled to hit a bunch of key market
messages a team of pompous market researchers has decided people want to see. There’s
also the massive benefit that stark gender divides don’t seem as prevalent in
the craft market, thankfully.

| The personal touches can make all the difference |
I quite
enjoy making sentimental pieces as I imagine the person who will eventually go
on to own the item really cherishing the meaning behind the product. Crafting
has never really gone away as a hobby, but it does seem to have exploded into
the mainstream in recent years, spawning a whole host of small and micro
businesses. The internet has helped give people a platform and a shopfront in a
way that would never have been possible before: and long may this creative
diversity continue.
