Judy's Corner

If you happen to be a crafter and just happen to want to sell your products, this is the site to visit and join.
Submit your info for inclusion in the craft sites directory. Submit articles about your specialty. Share and exchange info.

Remember that at Crafter's Corner you can have me put your own free add block, dead center at the top on the Crafter's Sites page. The more you talk about yourself, the more traffic you drive to your webpages and products. Just click on any empty box and fill in the information. You will find the link to the Crafter's pages in the top paragraph.

Regardless if you have your own web site or have your items listed on another site, you can have a link built to your products.

Grand Opening

First 100 crafters to build a site, remains free for life.

Well, it's finally up and running. Our new Crafter's Center designed strictly for crafters to build their own shops and blogging.
I'm telling subscribers first, to let them have first choice. This the the ground floor of an entirely new site. The first 100 to build their own blog/shops will be grand-fathered in, when the time comes to start charging for the service. In other words, those who helped to build up the site will be forever free of charges.

This is your chance to be one of the few, those founding members. Drop by and take a look at the skeleton (it's bare bones right now), sign up for membership, give your new blog a snappy and descriptive name and start building.

I'm still writing tutorials but already have quite a bit of information available for you. I'm here to help.

I will tell you, I tried a check out program that just was so confusing, I gave up on it. I think using paypal makes things a whole lot easier and I can teach you all that. Yes, you can build your own shop.

What's more, I'm tying all the sites together for mutual traffic. The more I build, the more the sites attract attention. I'll do that part, you come build your part. :)

    I think polymer clay is still popular with crafters; jewelry crafters are getting into precious metal clay, but most highpend silver and gold artisans won't touch it. I like to work with exotic materials - my latest "mud" projects were made with acrylic reinforced concrete.

    Now that sounds like fun! I never thought much about polymer clay until someone came to me to make molds for it. Boy, did I have some learning to do.
    It's not exactly my cup of tea but I've enjoyed learning something about a media I had no experience with.

I'm Judy. I've been crafting in one media or another since the age of 8. It was about that time,I also started playing in the mud = clay.
