Hello :iconAll-Media: members and those who wish to become
We are promoting a certain number of deviations this week from each of our categories (the number depending on the category size) to be featured in our Featured folder and also on our front page.
So you are now wondering how to be featured? You only need to send your deviations to our folders and every week we are choosing those which will get feature.
What are you waiting for, next week maybe here will be you
We are going to transform these weekly features into two features a month, Bimonthly Features
We are doing this because some folders don't get many deviations so we don't have the opportunity to choose the best

What is this?
This is the third installment of articles, written for Artisan Crafts Month, which introduce the Artisan Crafts sub-galleries by talking about what they are, how to do work within them, and featuring artwork from the galleries.  In this edition I will be talking about the Custom Dolls Gallery!
What are Custom Dolls?
Defintion from deviantART Gallery Description:
Custom dolls created from bases or by hand and are usually of porcelain, vinyl, or hard plastic. Custom dolls are not stuffed.
Custom dolls are different than Plushies in the sense that they are not stuffed, are not sewn, and are not made from textiles.  You can read from the description above a few of the things they can be made from.

Hello everyone! My name's Noel Cruz and just like all of you, art has been my life long passion. I was born as well as raised in the Phiippines. English is part of standard education so I am blessed to speak both our native language of Tagalog as well as English. I am the third of 6 boys (that's right - all boys!),  so growing up was chaotic. My other sibling also possess natural artistic talent. It's rather sad, however that none of them nourished and pursued quite the way I did.  
2) How did you get started doing your craft?
Being raised in a relatively poor family in the Philippines, I grew up without the comfort of material things. I found comfort and satisfaction from immersing myself in imagination. At the onset of my adolescense, I discovered and I had a particular fon
