- Romanian Spring Welcoming Tradition for MarketFriday
Going through my folder of photos I discovered a few more photos featuring handmade products, so these always come first, thus it's time for me to post them, before the others. I guess it's going to be summer when I finish posting these spring welcoming products :D
These are hand painted and was happy to see snowdrops on them as that's one of the spring symbols. You can find one for each and every taste, even with your name on it if you are lucky, or with a "Mother" inscription in Romanian.
These are also handmade, hand painted but more complex, the price is more than double than for the others.
I'm cropping the previous photo here so you can see the details. I guess it's safe to say these are unique as I don't think you can find two identical even if some are similar. Artists always find a way to make it different.
These are new to me, haven't seen them last year. These are made of resin and each one contains a dry flower.
In polymer chemistry and materials science, resin is a solid or highly viscous substance of plant or synthetic origin that is typically convertible into polymers. Resins are usually mixtures of organic compounds. source
Here's a close-up photo so you can see what I'm talking about.
I was so happy to see these. Resin is in my mind for some time now. I've seen a documentary once about a family living in Australia, collecting shells from the beach and making tiles using resin. That was something that immediately caught my attention and can't forget it. I'm going to try it out once, just have to find the time to learn how to do it. Basically you can do anything with it if you have a little bit of imagination and you do it right.
These have nothing to do with the spring welcoming tradition but they looked great, could not leave without taking a photo. I came home and could not forget them, so went back the next day to buy some and surprise, surprise, didn't like them, so i came home empty handed.
This is it for today. if you want to join, check out @dswigle's post here Market Friday goes to the Kite Festival
Thank you for including the handmade art at the craft Market in all of the parts on your post. I think that it is worth a look to see them all and especially in their entirety like this. I am so fortunate that you found more photos Abyss Craft Market! You know I can never get enough of those handmade Goods. You spoil me and I'm so happy about that!
As I have said before, I know that people sometimes complain about High prices at craft fairs. But, I know firsthand how much time and effort, as well as the joy, is spent making these Goods. So, when I go to these, I met bargain a little tiny bit, but for the most part, not too much profit is added to the price.
How beautiful the snowdrops are can I guess I forget that is one of the spring symbols. There really are so many different kinds for so many different tastes. Whenever I go to these things it never seems like they have my name. I really love the more complex ones, even though they are double the price they are exquisite to look at. The flowers! Aren't they amazing that people can make these!? The ones with the dried flowers encapsulated in resin? They're really unique and I actually think they're quite pretty the close-up shot really shows it off well and I think that I'm sold! It looks like they also added a little bit of glitter to make it even fancier. I hope that you get a chance to try it out and you show it off to us!
I know that you decided you did not like the items in the last picture, however I can tell you that they took an awesome shot! I'm glad you shared that with us and I am happy that you did not buy it after all because you would have been very unhappy with it. Thank you for always taking the time and effort to put together a market Friday. It is so much appreciated! As always, I hope that you are having an amazing day and looking forward to the rest of the week!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Sorry for the late reply but here I am.
You're right, people are complaining about the price and have no idea bout the amount of work that goes into these wonderful artworks. Now that we are talking about this topic, I've remembered when I was visiting the craft market, different vendors were asking me what I'm looking for and also offering a discount in case I'm buying multiple products. Guess who were these vendors? These were distributors, selling products that were not handmade. They most likely were working with a larger margin so they could have afforded a discount.
Artists on the other hand were not offering discounts because they know the value of their work. You're a creative person and you know how much it means.
Thank you very much for your support dear Denise! See you on Friday and I'm waiting for the next fair to take another 400 - 500 photos to bore you and other MarketFriday users with them 😁
Many thanks.
