Your Handmade Stories: momerath on Buying Handmade

momerath submitted a really interesting video in response to our call for Your Handmade Stories.  She uses her "collection of Stick Figure Man photos" to illustrate her point about consumerism.  She "photograph[s] informational/warning signs around the world." It has a kind of spooky effect. Well done, momerath. Very thought-provoking.


You too can get involved! To find out how to make a video, click here! See all videos from this series.  Buyers are welcome to tell us why it's important to buy handmade too!

wow, cool video..so true, shopping is so lonely sometimes. i often go to just people watch and it is funny i usually end up doing a lot of thinking and reflecting because no one really wants to talk to you or look you in the eye...sometimes i get the person behind the register to actually engage in conversation and crack a smile but a lot of times its just "have a nice day" even though you know they are thinking about their laundry...thought provoking video...
