So here's blog attempt number 2..
I had a few ideas about this blog, my first was a 'how to' on making a box. I might do that next time but for now I have decided to show off some of the amazing talent of the gifted artists and crafters on MISI.
http://www.misi.co.uk/
MISI stands for 'Make it sell it' and hosts a variety of shops which sell handmade and vintage goods from different artists and crafters. There are so many creative people out there who deserve to be recognised.
The sad thing is that crafts and talent seem to go unrecognised these days in our 'throw away' society. The things that we buy in the shops are produced so cheaply and in abundance that consumers seem to begrudge paying out a fair price for something that wasn't mass produced.
Thanks to websites like MISI, there seems to be a new market and an appreciation for handmade goods.
It was a hard choice, but i have picked a handful of items which caught my eye. I'm sure you will like them too!
