Thats right folks! As part of the
Handmade Crafts
project, we are planning to build up a community driven encyclopedia for crafts only. That means that we will be building and
maintaining an entry for each craft.
Whatever your craft is, be it beading, glass blowing, pyrography, soap-making or anything else -
contact us
right away and send us some useful information - and we will publish it. We'll also mention your name, and when the site goes live, link
to your profile, so everyone can see that you have contributed - and that you know what you are talking about!
Please cite references (URLs to reputable sites are fine, if citing a physical book, please give the ISBN) to support information,
where possible.
