"I love your work. I work with similar materials and textile techniques. I have been knitting similar forms, but I like the contrast of your woven lines and the organic form. I will have to make room in my studio to weave this summer. At the moment,…"

Thanks for your comments on my work. I really enjoyed looking at the forms you've made with beads and with paper. At the moment, I am working on some large forms of paper and wire, playing with the staining that patination can make.…"
Jessica Beels left a comment for Amber O'Harrow"Very cool stuff. Love the simple forms you make with the pipe cleaners, as well as the intricate knit wire lamps. Since you reuse materials in such an interesting way, may I add a link to your site on my blog - http://beyondgarbage.wordpress.com ??…"

- Welcome to crafthaus, the network for artists and fine craftsmen/women ! I am very glad you joined us !
Please add your thoughts to the blogs and discussion forums that are already posted. Of course, if there is something else you'd much rather talk about, please add that to the site so that the rest of us can chime in.
I really hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, for sure.
Please note that crafthaus is both a fully edited and a member-financed website, meaning that a small annual fee ($20/yr or $35/2yrs) is involved in being a member here. You will find all the necessary information on how to go about this in the FAQs section of the site. Your membership fee is due on or before April 15, 2010 and is payable through paypal (preferred,) US check or credit card.
All images sent to the website will be reviewed to assure some measure of overall quality control. Crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience (their peers,) so the images have to be GREAT in both content and photo quality. From the many images received daily, we try to post as many as possible.
Crafthaus does not support any kind of commercial solicitation of our membership. Anyone sending out communication of that kind will be suspended from the site.
Finally, if there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor@live.com anytime. I will do my best to be of help.
Again: Welcome and enjoy !

"Behind the Brooch"
I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
