South Carolina is responsible for many of the agricultural products that circulate in and around United States. When you drink that glass of milk, or light up that proud cigar, do you ever stop and think about where it came from? Chances are, they came from right here in South Carolina.

In addition to agricultural products, we have also been able to make amazing textiles, machinery, automobiles, and even paper products. South Carolina is truly a land of many resources. That is why we are able to produce rich equipment such as this.

By the end of the day, though, it is true that many people forget about where these things came from. People by and large have forgotten how much work and effort is needed to be able to produce these items that they use everyday. From the corn flakes that you eat to the parts of the car that you need, they have been products that have been made with the sweat of someone else.

That has been something I’d been doing for quite some time now. While I have never thought about quitting my day job, I have increased my consciousness for the people who have made various crafts that show a part of their lives. I work on my craft for an hour each day and make it a point to show them in one of the numerous craft fairs held around South Caroline every year. I’m not one to toot my own flute, but close friends and family, as well as tourists have great appreciation for my crafts.

My crafts are special, so I believe, because I show how life is here in South Carolina. As it happens, I try to use the very material that the people I depict in my crafts manufacture. For example, a diorama I have made shows a tobacco farmer in his fields. I try to show how rich life is in this state. It is a new and personal way of showing how life is here and I’m sure many will be interested in it.
