\"Contemporary<\/a><\/p>\n

Vladimir Arkhipov’s “Home-Made<\/a>” (Amazon link) presents objects made by ordinary Russians inspired by a lack of immediate access to manufactured goods during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Each of the more than 220 artifacts is accompanied by a photograph of the creator, their story of how the object came about, its function and the materials used to create it.<\/p>\n

The book is expensive, but you can find some pictures and stories here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>. Related (but the Soviets obviously had better materials): Jailhouse Technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Forum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arkhipov continues the reach of his project through his multilingual Folk Forum website<\/a> where anyone is free to post<\/a> examples of hand-made objects. The website is not very user-friendly (tip: start by manipulating the layers), but it hosts some great ideas and pictures (some of them below).<\/p>\n

Thanks, Caroline!<\/p>\n
