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.
Besides making agricultural products, South Carolina has also been able to produce fantastic pieces of textiles, machinery and automobiles, as well as paper products. South Carolina has a lot of resources; that is why they are able to make rich items such as these.
By day's end, though, the majority of people never stop to think about where the things they see everyday come from. People take for granted how much work is really done to make the simplest of things that we use every single day; from breakfast cereal, to school supplies, to automobile parts. These have been made with much effort and thinking on someone else's part.
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.
But what makes my crafts stand out is maybe the way that I depict how life is in South Carolina. I happen to use the very material that grows in abundance in this rich state and I use them to show how life is here. I have a diorama, for example, of a tobacco farmer which is made of dried tobacco leaves. It is quite a personal way of presenting our way of life and I'm sure many would like this method. - 15246
