August Artisan Crafts DD RoundupWow how fast the time passes! I can't believe this is already my third roundup, I'm actually very happy with this month's DDs :) I think I received a lot of great suggestions for unusual crafts, and I was able to feature some of the most obscure and under-recognized crafts. Please keep the awesome suggestions coming! :la: Remember that I'm specially interested in the original, different and non-ordinary crafts ;) of course I love and consider all the suggestions, but I want to get all the crafts out there. This week I'm looking for etching, knitting, embroidery and clothing.
I want to represent all the Artisan Crafts equally, so if you think that any area is not being properly represented please let me know! I think I got a good mix this month, what do you guys think? :)
Useless fact: I tried to pick one as my "DD of the month" and I couldn't choose my favorite, I love everything so much :heart: what would you choose?

Crazy Crafts I: SeanAveryWhile browsing the galleries at deviantART I often find authentic pieces of art that just make my jaw drop and my eyes open up like plates. I'm specially attracted to the unusual, to those people that can take a mundane material to create something out of the ordinary, and see potential where others only see the obvious.  Today I realized that it was time to start sharing them, so that you can all join me in a collective "How is that possible!!" and meet talented artists deserving of more recognition.
This morning I found the work of ~SeanAvery, I don't even remember what was I browsing when this beautiful piece caught my attention. I was immediately drawn by the lovely colors, the fluidity of the feathers and the fact that this sculpture is actually "flying" or hanging.  Before you read it, take a minute to guess what ~SeanAvery used to make this hummingbird.

Did you guess right? I didn't, I didn't realize those a

PE: Polymer Clay Food Tutorials CollectionWelcome to a new polymer clay love article, specially written for #projecteducate, find the program for the third Community Week here. If you missed the previous articles, please check out Introduction to Polymer Clay and Polymer Clay Secrets Revealed. This time I'm going to guide you through some of the best polymer clay food tutorials currently available in deviantART, enjoy and don't hesitate to leave a message if you have any question or suggestion for future articles.
Food. Polymer clay food. There's a strange fascination between polymer clay crafters to make food, if you ask many of us won't even be able to explain what's so addictive about making fake food. Some of it is crafted for doll houses and doll props, some people make beautiful jewelry with food, but some just make it because it's so incredibly fun.
