I want this lens to be a place where crafters can come to stretch their horizons, and branch out into new crafts and share their skills in their current crafts. A place that will give them completly new areas to explore , either to concentrate on that craft, or to use it in mixed media crafting.
You can always learn something new.
So if you are an experienced crafter looking for a new challenge or a beginner this is the group for you.
Vote on the top lenses in this group!

I am a 52 yr old experienced crafter, there is little that I have not made over he years. Unfortunately I have given most everything away so I have not made any pfofit over the years. Now when I make something new everyone expects something free. I am presently making Dog Clothes, but I don't know how to market them. There are 365,000 websites to compete with so what do you do? I have a rack in the back of my truck and carry them around in case someone sees my dog and is interested. I don't like to push my creations on anyone. Any ideas from you guys would be appreciated.
