Quotes

  • The Artist is the person who makes life more interesting or beautiful, more understandable or mysterious, or probably, in the best sense, more wonderful.

    ~ George Bellows

    There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun.

    ~ Pablo Picasso

Buy Handmade

There's nothing more meaningful or more wonderful to behold than something that's been created from a unique vision, by talented hands, straight from the heart.  So why not give the gift of uniquely beautiful, artist-created work this holiday season?  BUY HANDMADE!

Start by taking the HANDMADE PLEDGE.  I did!

Read about why handmade goods are the most-good goods around.

Support indie artists and fight big box madness with your consumer dollars!  You can find communities of artists showcasing their handmade work of every imaginable kind, at every imaginable pricepoint, here (among other places):

Here's another indie-artist site that you might want to add Shel.... it's kinda like Facebook or Myspace, but it's all handmade independent artists' work.

I joined a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had much time to play around with it yet...
