Howdy, all:
Since this is a site for sharing and this article I worked on mentions several of the great artists that are featured on Crafthaus, I thought I would forward a link. I hope that you like it!

Fiona Hermse said… - Thanks so much for looking at it!
Yeah I loved making that work and I worked with a really experimental process which made it unpredictable and fun too! It still interests me alot, this idea of creating something which makes the viewer question whether or not it is alive, though I am applying it in a bit of a different way at the moment along with other intentions, it is a theme which definately runs through my work. let me know if there are any artists you think I should look up, id really like to hear!

"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!
