Those living in the Atlanta, GA area, would be delighted to know about the American Craft Show that occurs annually at around March. It is normally held at the Cobb Galleria Centre. Here you will find all sorts of artworks that will excite you and your loved ones. You may even find some interesting pieces of jewelry here that will be the perfect gift for your wife.

I try to go to these craft shows whenever I can, as I am an advocate of such events. This year, you will be able to see crafted items that make use of recycled materials. While I am more inclined towards the traditional crafts myself, I still feel that these are worth looking at.

Take the example of the jewelry I mentioned earlier. Jewelry, for me, is only wearable when it is fashioned out of "jewelry" worthy material. My wife would probably storm out in a fit if I gave her a brooch made from twigs and used junk. While it may work marvelously on sculptures, there is a definite difference between art and street wear.

I will note, however, that there is one exception to my metal and gemstone rule. The trinkets found at Alexandra Bitner's lucite jewelry are just fantastic and very wearable. It is very hard to design something fashionable out of what many would consider to be trash, but Bitner manages to do that quite well.

If you want to do your part for the environment, or if the concept of wearing recycled items as jewelry appeals to you, then you can go to the American Craft Show that is held annually. To be fair, it's not just jewelry; there are other works of art made from such materials. To each his own, but it's really not my thing. If you've missed the American Craft Show, no need to fret; there are dozens of other crafts show you can attend all year round.
