We have made some changes to the group rules. Please, take your time to read and understand them
artisancraft.deviantart.com/jo… The biggest change is that deviations that belong elsewhere will no longer be accepted to the
Miscellaneous folder. We'd like that place to remain for items that don't belong to some other folder of the group. We have also made it clearer what does and doesn't belong to the
Tutorials folder. Remember, if it isn't on dA then it isn't a deviation and therefore can't be accepted to the group. It isn't in the rules, but I'd like to ask our lovely polymer clay artists not to submit pieces to the
Glass, Ceramics and Clay folder, but either to the Polymer Clay folder or to another suitable folder.
We are here to help if you are unsure where your piece belongs to so feel free to ask us in a note before you submit the piece. Remember, every submission goes to your monthly total, whether it was accepted, declined or withdrawn.

Nameda wrote an article on polymer clay tools for the last Artist's Toolbox. What's interesting is that the tools she covered are actually findings most of us have in our homes

Felosoraptor is looking for an artisan to make wedding rings
felosoraptor.deviantart.com/jo…Weekly Gallery Highlight
We decided to highlight some of the best submissions to the group gallery every week. I'll go with 25 featured submissions per week. This selection is purely subjective and represents my favorite submissions to our galleries. If you disagree with my selection, please feel free to go to our galleries and

any deviation you enjoy, artists also appreciate comments on their works! Spread the love!

Again, this was a selection of my favorite submissions and does not represent a qualitative or artistic evaluation!
If you would like to help the group by writing features such as this or anything else, please get in touch with me via note to the group and let me know what you would like to contribute and how often (for example a weekly feature of 20 deviations from the group galleries or a monthly article written about something craft related). We are always looking for fresh blood.
