In addition to over 25,000 products, the website contains hundreds of craft projects, information on crafting techniques, articles, advice, reviews, a monthly magazine and community areas. ``Crafting is an All-American activity. In eight out of ten households across the country, at least one person spends an average of 7.5 hours per week engaged in creating crafts for profit or pleasure,'' said Harold Poliskin, Craftopia.com founder and CEO. ``As society becomes more and more automated, mechanized and plasticized, the urge to create something unique, authentic and real becomes even more powerful. Making something `real' doesn't have to be perfect or made by an expert, it's just an honest experience of sharing creativity. Craftopia.com captures that real experience for the crafter inside all of us.'' Poliskin has helped launch five recognized companies over the past 15 years including QVC and Software Digest. Craftopia.com's first round financing came from eCompanies, a venture fund founded by Jake Winebaum and Sky Dayton.
