If it’s handmade, someone’s hands touched that product, and put their precious time, attention, and love in it. It has inbuilt positive power and soul. Making things is fun- even when it’s your job. That’s the difference between buying something that was made by hand with lots of care and joyfully rather than buying one of a million made in an industrial unit by a machine. Artisan’s creations are almost made in a space of joy and respect. Everything is more stunning when it’s made with a Heart.
