Artisans Canary is a multi-level company set up to preserve the older fashioned as well as integrated with the newer ways of doing things.HAND MADE SOAP:
Have you ever seen the hit TV show back in the sixties called The Beverly Hill Billies, remember when Granny would have Jethro and occasionally Ellie Mae set up the old kettle by the cement pond so’s she kin makes her soap bars? Once in a while you would see cakes of fat floating in the big vat? Believe it or not that was very similar to how handmade soap was made as near back as near as the 1400’s to 1900’s. Well many innovations have taken place and although we here at Artisans Canary still follow the basic rules from the older fashioned ways of making soaps, have integrated many of the newer ways or better said innovative ways of creating recipe’s otherwise known as in the old ways of description {concoctions}!LAPIDARY:
Hmmmmmmm, yes, Oh yessssssss, shining rocks. I’ll wager that in too many circumstances you have at one time or another walked through the shores of a lake, stream, brook, or even a river perhaps even waddled in the pool of a waterfall? Ever slip and end up in the “drink”? Maybe you picked up a few stones to “skip” over the lakes edge, or just thrown a few rocks into the water out of boredom?
Many of these stones, rocks, or boulders you really did not care for, for one reason or another were probably in reality a really great find to a person in lapidary { A person who cuts, polishes, or engraves Rocks, Stones or Rough}. Don’t know what rough is? Have you ever heard of someone, an object or a rock being a “diamond in the rough”? “The phrase “diamond in the rough” is another way of saying. When a diamond is extracted from the mines it looks like a very dirty, grimy but glassy stone/rock. It is only when it has been cleaned, cut and polished that it acquires a shine, sparkle and brilliance and is considered to be of a higher value.
When this is applied to a person it is saying that the person has some or a great potential but they are rough and unpolished and with a little or more hard work the true potential of the person soon will be discovered.
On a personal note “a diamond in the rough” may also refer to someone who is genuine and valuable inside but is rough around the edges so to speak.
