Wow. Weldone @velimir. I have been away and i sure missed your ever interesting posts. One thing i really love about you is that you are hardworking and really spend time generating original content. Most whales just sit at home and come up with anything that comes to their mind or wait for the news about the rise or fall of crypto then posts it for their audience who must have heard about it before then, but you jump on your amazing bike all day and go out there to share with us beautiful things and places some of us cant see or get to. So i appreciate all your effort and the cool SBD you earn from it makes me confident that hardwork will get me to your level one day. Haha.
Making something by hand has the benefit of tactility. When we literally physically interact with the tangible materials we make with, we sense the materials presence and attributes. We comprehend that i.e clay is soft, malleable, pliable and cool to the touch. We soon discover that clay dries, cracks, becomes hard and sticks to our hands revealing new dynamically evolving material feature as we work. Tactile interaction with materials facilitates an immersive experience that is free flowing. Working with materials directly forms a cyclical interactive partnership between the artist’s mind, hands and material. So i agree with you that macgines helped us have some free time, but to the detriment of the quality and time the old time makers gave to such piece. Anything done by a machine is programmed. So i guess why they are scarce and at the same time expensive is because the original creators really put a lot of effort and were not conceened just about the money but had it as a passion, looking for how to pass a message or story from their masterpiece. One can hardly see any of these, these days even if you see them, you will need to break your bank to acquire them. Development definitely has its ups and downs.
Thank you for sharing and i have gone through other posts i missed and they were beautiful. Keep working hard my friend.
