I’ve been reading a magazine recently, one that I have know about for some time. It came by way of a friend. I do enjoy reading this magazine and I will tell you why, then I will probably tangent into something else.
I have always been fascinated with hand made items. The workmanship, the thoughts that the person had, dreams, mental notes, whatever they may be, are in the handmade product. A thought of a lover, the twitch of the knife and the slightest imperfection that it made. You can’t take that back. Items that have time put in them.
I enjoy what they do. How they do it, and the time it takes. I have recently become very interested in the video features that have been posted.
Stories of individuals who, by all accounts are creative. They all produce things that take time, craftsmanship, love. All things that I admire.
Products that, may only last one minute, but took many to create and products that took only but a few to make but will last a lifetime. I admire history. Maybe this stems from my name, and how it is three generations old. Possibly Objects that my elders have cherished and now have given me. Whatever it may be, I do like the idea of having something for thirty years and passing it onto my kids. Telling them to imagine how long thirty years is, and what might have happened in thirty years. To imagine if this object had a memory, what it might remember and what it will see in the future.
Yeah I like that idea.
Please go take a look at The Scout Magazine. Trust me, you just might learn something.
