Would you buy a handmade cross from an artist at an art show..?
Silver Charm Bracelet

I want to know how many of you would buy a handmade cross made out papier mache or wood. Some hang on the wall some stand up. Each one is different and one of a kind.
Folk art/Outsider art. Let's assume it is priced reasonably and artistically you like it. Would you find value in it as art and does the fact that it is a cross hinder or help?


An unquestionably handmade article has the value that you put to it and the sentimental value you care to add to it, regardless of the means or substance it's made.
The fact that the article is a cross can have a higher sentimental attachment to a Christian and certainly is an object that a Muslim will not buy.
I once bought a cross made of brass in a very minimalistic design. I placed it on my wall and it is a gem at least for my eyes.

How much would you pay for a handmade cross stitch greeting card, A6 size?

UK only please


I normally sell mine on ebay for 99p.

At a craft fair £1.50.

Obviously I make them so I wouldn't buy one and depends on the design and the quality of the card.

Do you know of a good How-to craft site to make handmade Crosses?

I'm looking specifically for something nice to be able to hand out, but still something inexpensive and fairly easy to make in bulk. Thanks in advance!


Here is my favorite website on beading and jewelry making.

I think you can make crosses for almost near nothing using beads.

what does a red stitched small pouch with colored beads and a handmade made cross with stuff on top that lookg?
A night In

it also had like lil gold looking rocks it looked like something that had to do with witchcraft i found it when my parents took my stuff out the room and i guess it was in their room like somwone put it in their i feel like someone intended to hurt our familyu with witchcraft weve been going through alot lately
our place isnt that big enough my parents were takig mymess out the room because i had made a mess i diddnt clean so they were fed up i share my room with my parents LAME!but true and it cant be a souvenir the only place we go to is mexicali to visit the family everyone in the house doenst recognize it its a red pouch hand made and sewed inside contained a cross that looks bad and little colored beads with rocks


It could have nothing to do with witchcraft at all. People have things happen to them all the time and often look to find something or someone to blame. This is part of life and everyone has bad things happen to them in life.
I have seen pouches like you describe in souvenir and handcraft shops all over the country.
You don't really explain how you guys came to find it. Why were your parents taking things out of the room. You say they were taking things out of your room but it was in theirs? That really doesn't make sense. More information please.

How about team color ribbon for her hair with her name painted on it. Or, some fun running socks or laces?

water bottle, protein snacks, towel with her monogram name or letters, a fruit basket you put together for her, a scrapbook.

    See Anne Beardslee#39;s Pine Needle Basketry in HD Video | Handmade ...

    As many of you know, we’ve been hard at work this year improving the MountainMade.com website and photos so that anyone anywhere can get a good sense of our artists’ pieces. Well, now we are adding video, and what a difference it makes. In the case of Anne Beardslee’s Pine Needle Basketry, you really have to see it to believe it.

    After you watch this video of Anne Beardslee’s pine needle baskets, you’ll understand why we needed video to convey how amazing they are! It’s really one that you have to see to believe.

    This video illustrates just how impeccable Anne’s fine work is. She gathers and soaks pine needles, then, in a super top secret manner that we can’t disclose here, she turns them into baskets. The finished product is coated with a sealant which preserves the integrity of the baskets and gives them a very nice sheet. Some of Anne’s baskets area also adorned with accessories like walnut cross sections.
