Welcome to crafthaus, the network for artists, craftsmen/women ! I am very glad you joined us !
Please add 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 find the exchanges interesting and fun. The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, for sure.

Finally, if there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me 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!
