April 23rd is the international Book Day, and I thought it would be the perfect time for a theme feature! Book Day is meant to encourage people to read, write and enjoy books (in more recent years it also began raising awareness on copyright issues). Go ahead and read that book you always wanted to read, gift a book to a dear friend, donate old books to charity, or make book crafts I am always marveled at how creative all of you are, most of these aren't exactly books but art inspired by books, and are meant to be admired rather than read. Still, I think they're amazing and they show how important the love for books is. So here's some interesting book crafts I found, enjoy and feel free to share yours! If you've made a book craft leave a comment and I'll take a look

Want to make a book? There's a lot of book and bookbinding tutorials, check them out!



I should have saved the last one for today's DD... I think the preview is not working, click it you won't regret it!

Mother's Day is celebrated one day of May in most countries (either the 10th, 15th, 26th, 27th the first, second or last Sunday) and I just couldn't let it pass without an artisan crafts feature. There's a great variety of crafts celebrating motherhood, full of emotions and love.

Congratulations to all mothers, all honorary mothers, all mothers at heart, and all mothers of angels
 

These are the DD's I featured for April 2013, you can find ^maytel's features right here. I always strive to keep a balance between all the crafts there is and represent as many as possible, so if you think that any craft is not getting enough love, let me know! Send me suggestions! I love to receive feedback

Also please don't forget to check out the Artisan Craft Monthly Challenge and the Get Crafty Contest, both are really fun events and they include prizes!

hi guys, it's haruka! i am here to happily announce my opening of keychain commissions! ♥ I have custom keychain options as well as pre-made keychains. Currently, for pre-made, i have B1A4 keychains! Up next will be vocaloid, so keep a lookout for the update. ♥ My shop, star-cafe, is where all the policies, FAQ, status updates, etc. are.  ~*~CLICK HERE FOR STAR-CAFE!~*~

here is what they look like:





--------------------------------------------


B1A4 KEYCHAINS:
As a present for B1A4's 2nd anniversary, April 23, 2013, I made B1A4 keychains for every fan to enjoy!

These B1A4 keychains/phone charms are 1.5" cute and simple creations of mine! The plastic keychains are protected with a dimensional gloss, which gives off a shiny look. You can attach them onto your phone (if it has the insert for them!), your lanyard, luggage/bags, and more! The neat thing about these is that they're not laminated paper keychains, so they will definitely last longer.

PRICES:
$5.00 USD per keychain
*DEAL* $20.00 USD for all five members (If you choose this option, I will throw in a free B1A4 sticker sheet!)
--------------------------------------------


CUSTOM KEYCHAINS:
This option is for those who want their OC  made, fan-keychain that I have not made, maybe a specific outfit that I didn't make on the previous keychains, etc.

PRICE:
$10.00 USD per keychain
*DEAL* $15.00 USD for OTP keychain (2 max. if you have an OT3, 4, 5, etc. ask me about it!)
--------------------------------------------

$3.50 USD to Canada
$4.00 USD to other countries

TYPES OF PAYMENT:

Concealed cash (no coins, please!)
Concealed cash from U.S. only. For any other country wanting to use concealed cash, either convert the money to USD before sending, or send extra money for me to convert due to the fees.

E-Mail: (to notify you of your purchase/when i send it out)
