Some traditions do not die. They evolve with
time. The art of creating articles of
unparalleled beauty with hands is one such
tradition, which has evolved. In the present
times, where we are using factory-made items that
are mass-produced, coming across a uniquely
charming handcrafted item is like an oasis in the
desert rare and exquisite. Often, the value of
such items cannot be measured in terms of money
because of its enduring nature. These contain the
love, passion, precision, and expectations of an
artist who is at his/her best while creating the
masterpiece. It is often believed that God
speaks to artists as they are creating their art
and giving it a life of its own. An artist
powerful at his/her best, walks in the shadow of
God. The handcrafted pieces also have a lot of
emotional value, particularly if they have been
made and given to you by a loved one, like a
sweater or a crochet. We always tend to hold it
very dear to our hearts because these pieces are
exclusive and carry the warmth of feelings.

Different Handcrafted Uniquely Designed
Pieces There can be different kinds of
handcrafted items that we could die for, like a
piece of flawlessly embellished cloth or an
exquisitely crafted piece of jewelry. Sometimes,
it can also be in the form of a delicate
handcrafted decorative piece or item to add to
the décor of your home. All of them have one
thing in common- uniqueness. These items are
created with unwavering dedication and
commitment, making them masterpieces passed as
heirlooms inside families. Craftsmen driven by
passion and pursuit of excellence render their
creations a timeless feature. It bears the
testimony of the craftsman regarding its
technique and the material. He/she often puts
years of research and experimentation before
creating that masterpiece, which becomes a
classic. Poets have chosen the term labor of
love to define such pieces.

• How is the Tradition Maintained?
• You might ask how the tradition is maintained.
  The beautiful tradition of craftsmanship has been
  maintained for ages through learning from masters
  who are either a part of the same family or a
  different one. Some families have dedicated their
  lives in pursuit of artistic excellence through
  generations. At the same time, others have
  developed fine taste and acquired talent to learn
  it from the original masters. Whichever way it
  goes, art is preserved through them.
• The relevance and timelessness of handcrafted can
  also be attributed to an appreciation of quality
  over quantity. It simply reinstates that people
  associate more value with unique handmade items
  instead of the mass-produced forgettable ones.
  Craftsmanship also promotes sustainability as a
  crucial factor, which is the trend of our times.
  Thriving for excellence in anything related to
  art and craft adds value, depth, and meaning to
  our experiences and often saves us from being
  mediocre and mundane. Thus, this tradition must
  be acknowledged and celebrated so that it can
  continue to enrich our lives.
