That Personal Touch

Something hand-made, whether by the giver or someone else who the giver bought it from, is always different and more heartfelt than many carbon copy fabrications. So what better than a personalized ornament?

I've done a few with Amy's Creations, even before it was a business thing. You can take almost any medium, any material, and make something personal to you or someone special in your life.

Christmas time, in the wake of many holiday craft fairs, offer lots of hand-made goods as great ideas for gifts with that personal touch. There's nothing quite like opening a gift and finding something hand made that represents you so well, it could have very well been made just for you!


Pinterest among many other websites offers a lot of great ideas for the creative and industrious ones who want to do it all themselves, while events like the craft fair mentioned above are for those who want something personal and meaningful but may not have the resources to make it themselves.


Clay is a wonderful way to make something custom and personal with the recipient in mind. With many color combinations and styles to choose from, finding something for that special someone isn't as much of a chore. That is a huge reason I mainly work with it as a medium. It gives me a chance to bring ideas to life, which is pretty cool. :)
