Did you say Sushi?

2007-02-19T14:00:00.000-08:00

I am not much of a sushi person although I love fish and seafood and eat a lot of it. However when I saw the unique sushi dishes created by Ron Gunderman. I had to think twice. The dishes themselves are so inviting and colorful. I am sure that even if like me sushi is not your "fish" of choice these wonderful plates would be just as nice for serving many favorite dishes to your family or company. ArtisansMarket.com has superb craftsmen/women that join our site daily. We are really proud of the fact that any item you purchase from one of our artists will be a treasure for you today and a heirloom for your family in the future.

I am on a MISSION

2005-01-12T07:23:00.000-08:00

Many of you have probably been reading my Posts and wondering why I am consistently trying to get you to view the art work that is featured in our ecommerce marketplace. Well, I'll tell you. I am on a mission.
My mission is to help bring back the tradition of "hand craft" and "fine art". It seems to me that the world has just spun out of control when it comes to owning anything of quality.
Do you realize that everything you use, everything, at one time was made by a craftsman. Whether it was a broom, milk pail, wheel, hair ribbon, dress, trinket wood box or something for the wall it was made with skilled hands, by someone who loved their work and was probably known as the best in their town.
It was not uncommon for people to travel miles to buy a crafted household item from the "best" broom maker or the "seamstress" to die for. Many family's saved and paid a good sum of money to have a portrait of their family painted or one of the family home,pet,or other well liked scenery to decorate the their walls. We call these herloims now-a-days. While we wait for our relatives to pass them down we buy at the dollar store. Why? Who knows. Today we live fast and hurried and society seems to prefer to run to the store, buy a 4 dollar item, use it, (maybe only once) and then re-buy the same thing again. My Mission- I am reaching out to you! Slow down, surround yourself with well made beautiful handcrafted items that you can own,use and wear with pride! Something that you can pass to your kids, from your generation. Keep the tradition of Handcrafted and fine art alive!!!! You will be amazed at how the atmosphere around you changes and becomes charged with good energy.
