63-year-old artist Simon Beck makes colossal yet intricate designs on the unlikely canvas of enormous snowfields. Beck treks for hours carving with his feet, creating snow sculptures over a quarter mile long. He has carved more than 370 drawings worldwide, and occasionally also works with sand. Leavers lace made in France is one of the most intricate and expensive types of lace you can buy. Thousands of individual threads are woven together on a loom that's over 100 years old. But leavers looms aren't made today. Companies have to maintain the looms that they have. This specialized process requires an expert at every step, but that makes finding new lace makers challenging. So how is leavers lace made? And why is it so expensive? The legacy of Athangudi tiles dates to the eighteenth century. Expert masons produce India’s colorful Athangudi tiles—known worldwide for their sturdiness and shine. Athangudi tiles are crafted almost entirely by hand, without the help of large-scale machinery. The materials used are sustainable and have special qualities that add to the beauty of the tiles. Some 50 villages take part in manufacturing Athangudi tiles and each one uses Athangudi’s sand and water. Why is Muga silk so Expensive? Millions of Hindu worshippers start every day with a ritual offering of flowers. Temples dump those flowers into the Ganges, adding harmful chemicals and pesticides to a river that’s a lifeline for over 400 million people. Phool, an Indian startup, collects the discarded flowers and transforms them into handmade incense sticks.
