I’m always keen to promote handmade crafts and gifts and personally would much prefer to make someone a gift or buy them something hand crafted than buy something mass produced. When you buy handmade you know that the maker has taken the time to make each piece unique, individual in it’s own way and certainly not something you would find in highstreet shops.

I was recently asked this question by the guys at Makers Online with regards to how I package my goods as well as how I present them. They asked me to answer a few questions and my answers appeared on their blog in July – I’ve only just got round to noticing! Ooops. So if you’d like to find out where I source all my biodegradable packaging or find out how I make my gift bags or find out what goes into making my craft fair displays, read on.

Just a quick little post to let you know that I got interviewed for the ‘Meet the Maker’ slot on the Makers-Online blog recently and it got posted on the site this week. You can follow this link to read all about “me me me”! I don’t know how to edit, so it’s quite a lengthy read but very informative and I tired to take a different slant on thing so as to make it different from my other recent interview in the UK Handmade Magazine Summer Issue.

I came across this set of artists videos via a link on the Makers-Online blog. It’s amazing to watch an artist create and here you get to watch 6 artists make some of their work. The films are speeded up and it’s great to see the pieces take shape so quickly – it almost makes the processes look effortless, when in fact they’re not. Watch the videos below and be inspired.

A while back I wrote a post about Makers-Online stocking Milomade. It’s taken a while to get everything sorted, but I’m pleased to announce that Milomade products are now available through this online stockist. Why not visit my profile on their website to see what is available.

I recently entered the photography competition on the Makers-Online website. The best product photo competition was set up to accompany their feature on taking product photos, and closed on 26th March 2010. I got an email from Luke on Thursday to say that there were 136 entries in total and I was one of the 27 to be shortlisted – how exciting!
