Review of emMade By Hand/em
Do It Yourself. It's a phrase that's been snatched up by mainstream
culture through televisions shows, best seller books, and craft store kits.
But DIY, when you stop and consider it, means so much more than just
building your own set of book shelves or knitting a scarf. It means slowing
down and making something for the sheer joy of fulfilling your needs without
mass manufacturing and big box stores. It means detaching yourself from
a world that strives for perfection
-- or at least makes you want perfection so that you'll keep your wallet handy --
and instead finding the perfection in the process of learning and creating.
In Made By Hand: Searching for Meaning in a Throw Away World, a new book
by MAKE editor Mark Frauenfelder, these and other essential elements of
life are discovered through the process of doing things for one's self.
