We're almost there. We need less than 1000 to renew our super group status so we can continue to bring you great features, highlights and specials.
Since groups can't collect points, Cayca has started a donation poll on her profile. Please, donate points to upgrade, no matter how few you can spare, so we can continue to have all of these awesome features. ALL DONATIONS through this collection will be used to renew our super group status. If we get more donations than we need, the extra will be used as prizes in a contest.
You can get points here llamatrade.deviantart.com

Weekly Gallery Highlight
We decided to highlight some of the best submissions to the group gallery every week. I'll go with 25 featured submissions per week. This selection is purely subjective and represents my favorite submissions to our galleries. If you disagree with my selection, please feel free to go to our galleries and any deviation you enjoy, artists also appreciate comments on their works! Spread the love!
Again, this was a selection of my favorite submissions and does not represent a qualitative or artistic evaluation!
If you would like to help the group by writing features such as this or anything else, please get in touch with me via note to the group and let me know what you would like to contribute and how often (for example a weekly feature of 20 deviations from the group galleries or a monthly article written about something craft related). We are always looking for fresh blood.
