I love Yellow Flower’s beadwork, having done this type of beadwork, I know how much time and effort goes into it. Beautiful.

Handmade is Wellmade

I think there is a growing appreciation of this, if not, there should be!

Any handcrafted passion takes time, energy, and patience. Amber has them in spades! Thanks for sharing. And thanks for creating HAF, Andrew. I’m glad to be a part of such a driven, creative family.

thanks for the mention.
you are soooooooooo right about handmade often taking a back seat to mass produced.
every few months i tell my mister i am going to give it up and just work and be done with trying to start up this business. but, it never fails… that drive to make something overwhelms and i am back at it before you can say licketysplit!

Yellow Flower does do beautiful work and you are right about handmade goods often taking more work than you can get paid for. I find it to be worth it though.

I look for faster more efficient ways to do things so that the gap between time and pay continually gets smaller. The pleasure in creating is often also the main drive behind a handmade business.

I will pop over to your other blog and check out the article you mentioned. Sound informative!
