So much creativity and talent on display this week. Another week has come and gone and seeing how many wonderful things that everyone has been busy making makes me wonder if I have been as productive as I should be. I guess the answer might be yes since here it is Friday and I’m actually getting my Featured Artist Friday post done before the sun goes down. (Well, yeah, it never really came up today, but that’s beside the point.)
Beads, jewelry, quilts, purses, clocks, candles, pens, miniatures and felted eggs are all represented this week. So much handmade goodness. So many talented folks. Too much to talk about. So, I’ll just show you.

In case anyone’s paying attention, yes, I’m trying out different ideas on how to present everyone’s wonderful creative works. In light of the many issues stemming from folks Pinning unwatermarked images, I’ve begun watermarking some images I’ve included as part of the Featured Artist Program. Last week, I added watermarks for the artists directly onto their work on the Craft Tutorial Thursday post. Today I am framing them. I like the frames better. What does everyone else think?
