For a while now I’ve been working on a way to increase the exposure of artists and crafters on this site, and eventually it became clear to me that what I was looking for went beyond what a typical blog format could accommodate. So today I’m happy to announce the complete redesign of Try Handmade! Dozens of pieces are featured on the home page in a graphical format so you can easily find great handmade treasures.
Here’s the site as it used to be:
And here’s the new design:
I hope you like it as much as I do, and please let me notice if you find anything broken or just plain wrong.
Thanks!
