AUSAME LLC Brings Heartfelt Handmade Collectibles to Life
Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – Forget mass-produced trinkets! AUSAME LLC, a Portland-based company quietly making waves in the collectible craft world, is bringing a fresh wave of unique, handmade artistry to collectors and gift-givers alike. Operating from their base at 17700 SW Upper Boones Ferry Rd, #135, AUSAME (reachable at 518-846-5213) isn't just selling crafts; they're sharing stories woven into every stitch, brushstroke, and carefully selected material. So, what exactly is AUSAME? Well, they're a small but mighty team passionate about preserving the beauty of handcrafted goods. In a world of fast fashion and instant gratification, AUSAME is a welcome slowdown – a celebration of time, skill, and genuine artistry. They specialize in collectible crafts, meaning these aren’t your everyday decorations. These are pieces designed to be treasured, collected, and often, one-of-a-kind. “We started AUSAME because we felt something was missing,” explains a company spokesperson. “We saw so much incredible talent being overshadowed by factory-made items. We wanted to create a platform to showcase these artists and connect them with people who really appreciate the work that goes into a handmade piece.” More Than Just “Things”: A Dive into the Collection Let’s talk about the crafts themselves. AUSAME’s collection isn’t defined by a single style. Instead, they curate a diverse range of pieces, ensuring there’s something to capture every collector’s heart. Think along the lines of intricately designed ceramic figurines, hand-stitched textile art, lovingly carved wooden sculptures, and beautifully painted miniature scenes. “We don’t make everything ourselves,” clarifies the spokesperson. “We partner with a network of talented artisans. Each one brings their own unique skillset and aesthetic. It’s important to us to support these individual creators.” And the variety is genuinely impressive. Recent additions to the collection include: Whimsical Woodland Creatures: These aren’t your typical stuffed animals. Each creature is meticulously crafted from natural materials – wool felt, reclaimed wood, and hand-dyed cotton. They're charming enough to display on a shelf, but sturdy enough for gentle play. Collectors are especially snapping up the limited-edition “Mossback” hedgehog – only 20 were made! Miniature Storybook Scenes: Imagine tiny, detailed scenes pulled straight from classic fairy tales. AUSAME offers miniature dioramas housed in vintage tins or handcrafted wooden boxes. These aren’t just pretty – they're little worlds waiting to be discovered. “We had one customer tell us she was building a whole miniature village with these,” says the spokesperson with a laugh. Hand-Painted Ceramic Tiles: These aren't your grandma's kitchen tiles (unless your grandma was an amazing artist!). AUSAME’s ceramic tiles feature intricate designs inspired by nature, folklore, and abstract art. They can be displayed as wall art, used as coasters, or incorporated into larger mosaic projects. A popular current design features a vibrant hummingbird hovering over a blooming hibiscus flower. Textile Art Wall Hangings: From delicate embroidery to bold quilted landscapes, AUSAME's textile art pieces add a touch of warmth and personality to any space. These aren’t mass-produced prints; each piece is painstakingly stitched by hand using high-quality fabrics and threads. Hand-Carved Wooden Keepsake Boxes: These aren't just containers; they’re miniature works of art. Each box is carved from sustainably sourced wood and features intricate details inspired by natural motifs. They’re perfect for storing treasured mementos or small collectibles. Why Collectible? The Appeal of Handmade In a world saturated with mass-produced goods, what makes these handmade crafts so appealing? The answer, according to AUSAME, is authenticity. “There’s a real connection you feel with a handmade object,” explains the spokesperson. “You can see the artist’s hand in every detail. You know that someone put their time, skill, and passion into creating it. That’s something you just don’t get with a factory-made item.” And it’s not just about the artistry. Collectible crafts also offer a sense of individuality. “These aren’t things you’re going to see in every other home,” says the spokesperson. “They’re unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect your personal style and taste.” Looking Ahead: AUSAME’s Vision for the Future AUSAME isn’t resting on its laurels. The company is constantly seeking out new artists and expanding its collection. They also plan to introduce workshops and online tutorials, allowing customers to learn the art of handmade crafts themselves. “We want to build a community around handmade artistry,” says the spokesperson. “We want to inspire people to appreciate the value of handcrafted goods and support the talented artists who create them.” For those interested in browsing the collection or learning more about AUSAME LLC, you can reach them at 518-846-5213 or visit their online store [Note: No actual website provided, this would need to be added].
