Beads, jewelry, quilts, purses, clocks, candles, pens, miniatures and felted eggs are all represented this week on Featured Artist Friday. So many wonderful things to chose from. So many talented artists. Why not come and see what everyone’s been making this week and check out their online shops?
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.
