Pier 3 Condo

Those living in the Atlanta, GA area, would be delighted to know about the American Craft Show that occurs annually at around March. It is normally held at the Cobb Galleria Centre. Here you will find all sorts of artworks that will excite you and your loved ones. You may even find some interesting pieces of jewelry here that will be the perfect gift for your wife.

I am an advocate of craft shows, and I try to go to these events whenever it is convenient for me. For this year, you will see crafts that made use of recycled materials. I am more inclined towards traditional crafts myself, but this is more or less worth looking at.

I’ll take the jewelry example I made earlier in the entry. For me, jewelry is only wearable when it is made from material that works well with the feel of “jewelry”. I really have no intention of presenting my wife with materials made from twigs or other such junk. Sculptures may work very well with these, but there is a difference between art and street wear.

I will note that there is one exception to my metal and gemstone rule, however. I have found very fine trinkets from Alexandra Bitner’s, and she has made very fantastic and wearable pieces of jewelry. Bitner manages to make jewelry out of material many would consider to be worthless pieces of trash. And she does do it quite well, in fact.

If you want to do your part for the environment, or if the concept of wearing recycled items as jewelry appeals to you, then you can go to the American Craft Show that is held annually. To be fair, it’s not just jewelry; there are other works of art made from such materials. To each his own, but it’s really not my thing. If you’ve missed the American Craft Show, no need to fret; there are dozens of other crafts show you can attend all year round.
