    Spotlight on Artisan Crafts

    January: Artisan Crafts Month, was a month where `lazybutt, and a few other deviants - including myself, explored the meaning of Artisan Crafts through various events, news articles and journals.


    My deepest gratitude to `lazybutt for all his incredible work in educating/informing/inspiring about the Artisan Crafts gallery. He have done a marvellous and professional job in spotlighting galleries, getting artistans to comment/critique on others work through different events. He made the chatroom, #ArtisanCrafts thrive and bloom.

    You better run over to his page and shower some love on him! Now!!


    Thank you so much, Brennen! <3

    It was definitely awesome, that's for sure!

    I have a couple of ideas for contests and ways to try to get some more community involvement, but I need to wait until I have some time off to try to get something off the ground :faint:

    Thank you both for all of your hard work :glomp:

    It went pretty good I think. Many people looked and discovered stuff they had never imagined was on dA.
    Thanks Myanna.
    If we ever get a chance like this again we should have a AC contest along with it.

    AR sponsored contests need to be 'applied' to one month before it starts, and AC month was something `lazybutt and `dedredhed had planned, and I was informed just a couple of days before it started, so I had no chance in getting a contest in the run.
    But contests are on their way ;)

    I think AC month was a great success!! :w00t:
