EDITORS COMMENTS

Craft is a timeless art that transcends borders and cultures, weaving stories of resilience, creativity, and heritage. From the shores of Juno Beach during D-Day to the vibrant streets of Morocco in North Africa, it has left its indelible mark on history. As British and Canadian troops landed on Juno Beach, their determination was mirrored by the intricate Moroccan lanterns adorning homes in Marrakech. The delicate craftsmanship symbolized unity and hope amidst turmoil. In Central America's Panama, Cristobal became a hub for Kuna Indian traditional molas. These exquisite textiles showcased the rich tapestry of indigenous culture while honoring their ancestors' wisdom. Omaha Beach witnessed not only the bravery of soldiers during D-Day but also served as inspiration for artists who transformed wreckage into remarkable sculptures resembling Coyne Helicopters or even UFOs. Their craft spoke volumes about human resilience amid destruction. The mysterious allure continued with sightings of UFOs over Masse in Valensole. Crafted by unknown hands from distant galaxies, these enigmatic objects challenged our perception of reality and sparked endless debates. Meanwhile, back on Earth, quilting emerged as an enduring form of craftmanship. The Patchwork Quilt stitched together fragments from different lives into a harmonious whole—a testament to unity despite differences—just like Little Miss Natty Fingers' creations depicted in Muriel Dawson's book. Craft played an instrumental role during the Normandy Landings in World War II when soldiers found solace in creating handmade treasures amidst chaos. It reminded them that beauty can be found even in times of darkness. Cutty Sark sailed through time as an emblematic example of maritime craftsmanship; her majestic presence evoked awe among all who beheld her grandeur at sea. Traveling eastward to Palestine within the Middle East region reveals Muslim prayer carpets meticulously woven with devotion—a blend of faith and artistry that brings tranquility to countless worshippers.
