DDs for the month of June



To wrap up the month of June 2008, here are all the Artisan Crafts Daily Deviations that ^Myana and I featured. The two of us welcome any suggestions on deviations in the Artisan Crafts gallery that you think merit a DD, but please do not send the same suggestion to both of us as that could cause confusion and much mayhem and ruckus. Your note should include a link (although I prefer thumbs) and a short explanation on what it is about the deviation that impressed you so much.

Artisan Crafts FAQ



Tangible craft work created by the artist for utilitary use, such as leather working, woodworking, glass-blowing, metalwork, textiles, etc.



• Architectural Design
Either architectural models or things pertaining to architecture made by you, such as handmade awnings, patios, decks, and buildings & shelter. No drawn or rendered work is allowed.



• Culinary Arts -
Edible art; food and drink made by you and that is purely edible or is enhanced with non-edible objects.



• Custom Dolls
Custom Dolls - Hard-bodied and soft-bodied original dolls, customized purchased dolls and BJDs, customized MLPs, customized purchased figures (action figures, munnys, dunnys, etc.). Dolls made from either premade bases or completely custom dolls of porcelain, plastic, vinyl, etc. Plushies belong in Artisan Crafts > Textile > Plushies.



• Folding & Papercraft
The art of folding and cutting paper to create objects of a 3D nature such as origami, dioramas, and other art work.



• Jewelry
Jewelry that is handmade by you regardless of medium, and includes rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, charms, keychains, body piercings jewelry, etc.



• Knotting & Weavings
Anything woven, whether by hand or on a loom; baskets and other woven reed creations; dreamcatchers; other woven art. Knitted and crocheted crafts belong in the Textiles Gallery under an appropriate sub-category.



• Leatherwork
Leatherworking including stamped flat pieces like belts to meticulously shaped and stitched objects such as sandals, saddles, bags, clothing, chaps, etc. Also, book covers, armor, taxidermy, etc.



• Metal Work
Metal work involving the use of heat, including all blades, such as knives, swords, cutlery, etc., armor, chain mail, blacksmithing; and any kind of metal forming without the use of heat, which would include repoussé/chasing/embossing and engraving.



• Misc/other
Miscellaneous artisan crafts that do not fit into any other sub-category, such as modified keyboards, modified guitars, feather art, duct tape art, handmade soap, masks, flower arrangements, perler bead art, and costume/cosplay props, such as weapons, etc.



• Sculpture and Glass
Works using mediums, such as clay, ceramic, synthetic sculpting compounds, papier-maché, sand, etc. This is the most confused gallery because there are also sculpture galleries in Traditional Art and in Anthro. In Artisan Crafts, it mainly has to do with more handcrafted sculpture that isn't part of what one would call "traditional." It all depends on the artist's point of view.



• Textiles
Art created by using fabric of woven or knit materials such as fashion/costume construction, plushies, quilting, and accessories such as hairpieces, like wigs and falls that you have styled, and also gloves, hats, and bows.



• Woodworking
Artisan crafts created using wood as a medium and can include carvings, turnings, constructs, pyrography, etc.
