Handmade Artist's Forum ArtFire Guild.

Not so long ago a new forum, Handmade Artist's Forum, was started by a wonderful guy called Andrew and his partner Kimberley. They started this forum to help Handmade Artists everywhere, regardless of what they made, whether they sold it or not, and where they sold if they did.
I joined up fairly early on in the life of the forum, and was honoured with a position as a moderator. Recently HAF has started an Etsy team and now an ArtFire Guild.
So I am going to do a little promotion of this guild. I am a member of the HAF ArtFire Guild with my BeadsByHaffina studio, and although it is a new guild it is gaining members fairly quickly. Now there are more than 9, but less than 18.. and I wanted to do a byhand.me spotlight (or two), but in order to make it relatively fair I have given every current member 2 pics and given three to our wonderful guildmaster - Tora Jewelry - and ended up with three spotlights lol.

So take a look at the wonderful creations from our members and give them all some support.







And please come and join us on the Handmade Artist's Forum, all handmade artists are welcome to come and share their works, themselves and their ideas.

Please read...


Sometimes in life you get to meet amazing people who bring you joy, and show you awesome human spirit that makes you glad to know them. I have the privilege of knowing a woman like that. She is an amazing artisan, who works with polymer clay and also does the most amazing paintings.
She has some very tough challenges to deal with in her life, but she never lets that get in the way of sharing herself or her time helping and promoting others.
So now I am going to try and help her.
I would love it if all my readers could go and look in her ArtFire studios. I'd love it even more if you could promote her on your own blogs. And if you can buy something from one of her studios you would be helping out a wonderful human being who deserves a boost for all that she endures and all that she gives.
If you would like to know more about this amazing person you can go to her Polymer Studio - ClayItAgain or her Artwork Studio - 12MidnightOils or you can read her amazing blog - here. You can also read her column on handmadenews.org.
