Weekly update
Okay, so in a sort of absent-minded move, I completely forgot that last Friday was the last Friday in November. Oops! However, since there are 5 Fridays in December, I'm going to do the last journal for wire wrapping this week and start a new challenge next week. If you have an idea for the next challenge that you'd just absolutely love to see, please let me know before then so I can feature that craft for you!
Now, go check out some more fabulous wire wrapped goodies:

I'm glad to see this challenge seems popular! If you've got a favorite craft you'd love to see as a monthly challenge, please feel free to drop a note to me or the group and let me know. Also, to those of you in the States, have a happy Thanksgiving!
Hey everyone! I'm really excited for this month's challenge- there seems to be a lot of interest in this one, so I'm looking forward to seeing some really great work. However, I noticed just today that I forgot to change the settings on the favorite folder so that it was open for submissions. Sorry about that! It's open now, so please submit away.
Anyways, we still have a few submission for this week, check it out:
Welcome to this month's Creative Craft Challenge!
The Creative Craft Challenge is a monthly feature where we introduce our members to different crafts. Every month I’ll give you a little background on a craft that you might not have heard of and show you a few great tutorials to encourage you to give it a try and show us your work.
So join me every month and put your skills and creativity to the test with lessons and tutorials, examples, and a place to show off your work. Your submissions will be featured in our favorites gallery and in this very blog!
Remember, the aim of the challenge is to introduce you to crafts that you might not have heard about or tried before. They won't require any expensive materials or years of training and expertise to complete. The idea is to challenge you to go out of your usual field of work and try something new!
This challenge is NOT a contest or a display of professional work, but a fun opportunity to broaden your crafting horizons. NO prizes are involved and everyone will be featured!
Member of the Month
At the end of every month one participant will be chosen as ArtisanCraft's Member of the Month and will be featured on our profile page for the entire next month. October's member of the month is Melhyria. Congratulations!
Wire wrapping
Wire wrapping is the art of using wire to create sculptures and jewelry. There are all kinds of styles, and anything can be wrapped to create something new.
Here's a few tutorials so you can try it yourself.
TUTORIALS
You do NOT have to use any of tutorials here to submit your art, they are only suggestions to help get you started. If you need some more references or directions, there are many more tutorials both here on dA and all over the internet.
