✋ Is It Handmade?
Proof of a human hand

When a buyer asks “is this really handmade?” — hand them the answer.

Makers capture a few raw shots while they work. We turn them into a page that shows how the piece was made, and a QR tag that ships inside the box.

Captured in-process. Not a sticker you can buy by the roll.

Juniper Ridge Stoneware — Mug no. 114

A reseller copies your photos to a mass marketplace. The bot flags you as the copycat. In-process proof is how you win that fight.
The gap

“Handmade” is a claim. Right now there’s nothing behind it.

A finished photo proves nothing — it can be copied, staged, or generated. The thing no copy can fake is the making itself.

🤖

Buyers stopped trusting photos

Shoppers now assume a too-perfect product shot might be AI or a stock image. Doubt costs you the sale before you ever hear from them.

📋

Copycats outrank the maker

Resellers lift your listing photos onto cheap marketplaces. Image-matching bots can’t tell who’s first, and the real maker gets buried or killed.

🏷️

A “handmade” badge means nothing

Anyone can print the word on a tag. A badge with no record behind it is marketing, and buyers know it.

How it works

Three photos at the bench. One tag in the box.

No new habits. You already have your phone out while you work.

Capture as you make it

Snap a raw photo, clip, or quick selfie at each stage — rough form, mid-build, the finish. Timestamped, straight from the bench.

We build the proof page

Those shots become a clean “how it was made” timeline at its own web address, tied to that one piece.

Ship the QR tag with it

Print the tag and drop it in the box. The buyer scans and watches the piece come together in your hands.

Try it — nothing to install

Build a proof tag for one of your pieces.

Add the stages, write a line for each, and watch the proof page and its QR code build themselves on the right.

      Why now

      The market is already reaching for proof.

      • ↳
        Big marketplaces now push sellers to post unedited, real-item photos — an admission that staged shots stopped being enough.
      • ↳
        Luxury houses ship NFC “passports” that record how each piece was made. The idea is proven; it just hasn’t reached independent makers.
      • ↳
        As AI images flood every feed, “a real person made this, and here’s the record” becomes the thing worth paying more for.
      A passport costs a furniture house thousands per chair. A maker selling a $200 piece needs the same trust for the price of a hang tag. — the whole reason this exists
