We are two best friends, who of course, decided to work together for this Maine Sampler Project. All of these products are homemade, and here is a little info about each product:

Hand Painted Ornaments: These originate from China in the 1600s, a technique that started with painting on the inside of snuff bottles. 

Pet Rocks: These originated in 1975 from a man named Gary Dahl, after a joke with friends about not wanting the hassle of a real pet.

Welded Figures: These originated to the credit of a Russian artist named Vladimir Tatlin, who created his first piece of art in 1913.
