Today’s world is getting more high tech each day. Products are mass produced. Items that used to have individual character are devolving into commodities. Manufactured goods getting slicker and slicker. What’s this doing to our individuality? Individuality has not disappeared. The human drive for individuality is being fostered by increasing interest in handmade crafts. More and more people are taking up the making of handcrafts as a way of expressing their artistic individuality. But these handcrafts can’t be just the same old yadda-yadda that your Aunt Myrtle made. No antimacassars here. New craft items are being invented each day. For example, what about the purse dangle ?
