What Is A Crafter?

Well, I looked it up and according to dictionary.com "A crafter is a person who practices or is highly skilled in a craft; artisan." This week, we have some highly skilled people who have blogged about some pretty cool stuff...

Ann from BeadLove uses fun resin tiger head beads to make a quick bracelet that turns out just how she envisioned.

Tammy talks about selling off some doll customization crafting supplies and also dolls from her collection and shares her thoughts on collecting what you love in a recent Crafts and Dollies blog.

A lover of all things owl, Andrew shares some of his favorite owl-inspired art beads from his private collection.

On a recent trip to Asheville, NC, Greg Ogden of GreenGirls Studios explains lost wax casting. Check out the video of him walking us through the process!

Terry Jeanette of the Tappingflamingo, talks about different types of wedding jewelry and some interesting accessories.

Beading Arts shares a chenille stitch rope necklace tutorial.

I hope you check out what these talented artisans are talking about this week. 

MORE INSPIRATION...

Today, I would like to share some inspiration from some other artisans....

In Andrew Thornton's blog, he shows off his collection of bugs! These bugs aren't the creepy crawly type....they are beautiful pieces that you can wear!

This is a barrel bead that was created by Anne Choi who is an Atlanta based metalsmith. Isn't it gorgeous? Go check out Andrew's blog for more of his bug collection!
