Artisan Crafts Feature!

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 13, 2008, 10:24 AM


Next in the series of gallery features we'll be browsing the Artisan Crafters. AC is a gallery that's still fairly new to deviantART and not quite as active as some of the other galleries. So be sure to check out these amazing deviations from the depths of AC.

They're teddy bears! In chainmaille! How cute is that? After meeting and talking to ~LadyLockeout, chainmaille is something I definitely want to try. And this piece is only one of many great ones in her gallery. I love the contrast of the soft fluffy teddy bears, with the chain armor. Definitely uber-cute.

When I first saw Daydream I was amazed by the webbing. Dreamcatchers usually have a certain methodical weave to them, but this one brings something completely different to the table. The feathers were perfectly chosen to match the fur, but not so long as to distract the viewer from the main focal point. A wonderful gift indeed!

A marvelous piece of glass work. An ergonomic handle coupled with a long spiraling shaft would make this piece a welcome addition in almost any decor.


by ~DryadStudios
When I first saw this I had no idea the work that must have gone into it. But looking at the crisp lines and order involved I can imagine it must have quite a challenge! Surely a beautiful addition to any
bedroom.

In all my years of collecting stones, I've never seen a quartz point quite like this one. Beautifully laid silver leaves perfectly accent the natural garnet/quartz combination. The black onyx and Hessonite
beads add a wonderful neutral complementarity.


by ~CeltCraft
Cultures collide in Celtic Tree of Life Tapestry. Peyote stitching was/is done by Native Americans and the Tree of Life is a very celtic symbol. The depth, colours and shadig in this tapestry are truly
amazing. 80 hours worth of work well worth it!


by ~redLillith
In a gallery full of chokers and other jewelry it was tough to pick one above the others to feature. But the tedious stitching lace and beadwork made this one stand above the rest.


by ~HappyThawts
A necklace to make the geekiest of us happy. This circuit pendant is a wonderful combination of science and art, natural and synthetic, and angles and curves. A wonderful piece sure to bring joy to the wearer and envy from geek they meet.


Make sure you answer my poll to suggest your favourite traditional pieces! That gallery is coming up next week.

As an aside, I have several projects in the works, a digital mixed media, a cross stitch (I might finish that in a year and a half), two quilts (might finish those in 3 years), two tunics (need to finish
those in a year), and a necklace size dreamcatcher that I just need to shape the feathers for and add a hanger. Also have an idea for a dreamcatcher, but I need 8 faux eagle feathers first, and they can be expensive. But even the cheap ones I shouldn't get, not until I either get a job or start grad school, whichever I decide, it's sounding like grad school though.

P.S. I'm studying vocab for the GRE, I've never heard of about 90% of those words.

A very special "Thank you!" for my subscription from =IBinsanity.
And to ¢mynti for designing and coding my CSS.

most people aren't sure of what they really want in life. I



received this



letter from a friend on the computer, did what it told me to, and



within a



week, everything I had wished came true!! Here's an exact copy,



this

really



works!!!!











*************************************************************







1. To yourself, say the name of the only



guy or girl you wanna be with 3



times!











*************************************************************











2. Think of something you wanna accomplish



within the next week and say it to your self

6



times!!











~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~































3. If you had 1 wish what would it be? say it to



yourself 9 times!!!








-----------------------------------------------------------------------















4. Think of something that you want to happen



between you and that 1special person and say



it to your self 12

times!!!












--------------------------------------------------------------------















5. Now, heres the hard part! Pick only 1 of these wishes and as



you scroll down focus and



concentrate on it and think on nothing



else but that wish.

Now make one last &final wish about that one wish

that you picked.







After reading this, you have 1 hour to send it out to 15 people,



and what



you wished for will come true within in one week!







u only get one chance!!!!! Now scroll down and think of your



crush!!!



























































Keep going

down



























Keep going







































Keep

going








































!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











Did you think of your crush? I hope so, that was



your last chance. Now pay very close attention this important



message!



Sorry but once read, must be sent. Yes, this is one of those kinda



chain



letters that everyone hates. This one has been going since 1863

and



if you



break this chain, you will pay!!!!!! Remember that after hearing



these



stories.







First Example:



Take Barbra Wallace.. She was a pretty lucky girl,



up till she got this same chain letter. She had a crush on the same



kid



since kindergarden. when she got this mail she didn't pay any



attention to



it. She just thought, no big deal. And deleted it. The next day her



dad



got fired and her mom dies in a car crash. If she would have sent



the



letter none of that would have happened and her mom

would be alive.







Second Example:



Try Freddie D. Now Freddie D. was your average



nerd. Had glasses, was short and chubby, was in gifted. All the



signs of



your total dork. He also received this letter and sent it to 51



people in



the hour. Now, like Barbra, he had a crush on a girl since 3rd



grade. The



next day after sending the chain the girl confessed her love for



him ever



since 3rd grade. Freddie D. finally had the courage to ask her out,



and of



course, she had been waiting to yes to that for years. They grew

up



and



married each other to live happily forever.







Third Example:



Now if you couldn't relate to the others, this'll



get ya hooked. Listen to this. A kid named Jordan Johnson was just



getting on AOL to check his mail. He was a quiet kid, not that



popular but



not a geek either. he was just normal. He saw he had mail from his



friend. It was this exact letter. Now Jordan Johnsen was a smart



kid and



he knew what could happen if he didnt pass it on. He simply pulled



a few



friends from his buddy list and sent it along. The next day,

about



that



same time, he got a phone call. It said he had won the lottery!



then his



dad came home and bought him a new bike! His mom bought him



Nintendo64 and



play station! His grandmother sent him a new computer, and his best



friend



gave him tickets to the concert he wanted to go to, Kid Rock and



Limp



Bizkit! Then he inherited a brand-new tv from his aunt! He was



goin' wild!



the next day his secret crush asked him out, and they have been



going out



ever since.







Now, you heard the stories. I know

which person i'd rather



be, but thats up to you. I wouldn't wanna end up like Barbra but



thats



only me. We all want what we cant have but now's ur chance to go



out with



that special somebody ur waiting for. Take it or leave it. If you



send



this to-



1 person- you will lose all luck in ur love



life.....forever!!!!!



10 people- your crush will say they like you as a



friend......ONLY!!!!!



15 people- your crush will say they like you



20 people- your crush will ask you out!



25 people- your crush will kiss you!!



30 people - Your crush

will have sex with you



35 people or more- All of the above!!



Don't blow it, it's ur chance to shine! Have



everything u wanted, and more! Now, complaining cus u dont have any



friends. Well theres an answer 4 everything. It's simple, just go



in a



chat room, pick some names and send away! but here's the



catch.....you only
Reply

oooh! :) I hadn't thought about going to the glass shops. :idea:

Yeah, you did get lucky. I did that with a drawing teacher in senior year. She let me be an aide for her class just so I had an excuse to draw during school. ;)

Hopefully within a week I'll have it up, I just keep forgetting to take pictures of it. :shakefist:

If you have any glass shops around, have him go to them and find out if they're looking for apprentices. I just happened to get really lucky. The university I go to happens to have a glassblower on staff, he happens to be really nice, and when I finish work, let's me experiment on the lathes. He's asatru too!

Oooh. :) *must see this wand* hehe

My b/f wants to learn how to do glassblowing as a profession, but we have no idea where he can go to learn the trade.
