Featured Fridays Artist Showcase

Category: Featured Fridays

Featured Fridays started out as a program where I hoped to showcase the work of 3-5 of the talented people who are participating on Crafty Tips each week. The premise seemed simple, anyone who had completed an item that they were particularly proud of could have that item showcased here on Blog About Crafts. If more than 5 people submitted something, I would randomly draw for who would be featured that week.

Oddly enough, I haven’t had any takers. With the redesign of Blog About Crafts, I embarked on a new direction for Featured Fridays. Crafters can still email me with their projects but I will be pulling most of the projects from the RSS feeds of blogs from participants in Crafty Tips. I am still adding more and more of the blogs of existing Crafty Tips submissions. Keep in mind, this means that Etsians and other shop owners as well as site owners who do not offer a blog will not be considered for featured Fridays unless you drop me an email to let me know about your latest creation.

It’s my sincere hope that with the revitalization of Blog About Crafts that this category will grow into a true opportunity for artisans and crafters to bring their work to a wider audience. If you would like to participate and already have a listing on Crafty Tips, please use my contact form to tell me about your project so that I can include it here.

Featured Artist Friday might need to be renamed to Featured Etsian Friday. Once again this week’s roundup is full of wonderful items handcrafted by Etsians. The talented Etsians who are participating on Crafty Tips are offering many of the finest handcrafted items that can be found online and these 6 Etsians are no exception.

This week, you’ll just have to come and check them out for yourself to learn what they are making and offering for sale in their shops. But, I suggest you don’t wait too long as one item has been marked down 50% and several others are one of a kind items. So, as the saying goes, you snooze, you lose.
