I can't think of a better way to finish the year on dA than featuring winners of Dragons contest.

1st prize winner is with Greenwoods Guardian and she has many other beautiful polymer clay works in her gallery.





2nd prize winner is with Goldwing with heart. Her polymer clay figurines are cute and bright.





3rd prize winner is with Mira's dragon spellbook pendant. She makes beautiful silver jewelry.





And there are four honourable mentions.

















Congratulations to the winners. You can go and show some love to authors of other entries as well artisancraft.deviantart.com/ga…

It is that time of year again. We are taking out decorations for our trees and our homes. You can see some lovely beaded ones in this feature. Do go and show artists some seasonal love.

Christmas is special time of year for many. I'm not one of them, but I do appreciate how passionate and inspired people get about this holiday. This is my choice of jewellery that was either inspired by Christmas, made to be seasonal gift or is done in colours that evoke thoughts of this holiday.

Kud svi Turci tu i mali Mujo.

My deviantART story is quite simple.

First there was She is the one who told me to join dA and show my crafted pieces. She is also the one who gave me my first year of premium membership and I am immensely grateful for that initial show of faith. There is no picture of her cosplaying her MistiQarts character, but this is her mascot.



Then there was I can't remember when, why or how we started to exchange messages, but we did. I still owe him so much. And I love his photographs, especially those that I think show the way I feel.



Then came , a deviant whose new uploads to dA bring smile to my face. How does one resist such cuteness combined with excellent craftsmanship?



is the person who actually introduced me to the true community of my fellow craftspeople. Then those were called clubs, now they are groups and I am honoured to be MyntKat's successor as admin of But before, when I was just a member I loved every journal, every art feature she'd publish. I think this cake shows how fun and silly she is.



is the person whose faith in me has brought me two DDs, who did an awesome job as a community volunteer and who is still an important part of artisan community. Her pieces look good enough to eat.
