Discover Your Passions in the Arts & Crafts Channel

I am so happy to announce the new additions to the ‘almost famous’ Arts & Crafts Channel here at b5media! ;)

For starters, we have our first male artist joining the team, William Lehman, who is writing Artist Hideout:

Often I will put together a project idea, with helps and tips along the way. I will occasionally mention new artists that catch my eye, and I will dive into the historical lives of past artists and concepts/techniques for your own work. I will also review some random artists from the weeks project and post a few random submissions from readers. In short, I want you to become the artist that you were created to be.

Along with being an artist himself, William is a pastor and one of the most passionate people I have met here at b5media, and we are so lucky to have him!


Next we have Cyndi Lavin, writing Layers Upon Layers, a blog about Mixed Media art:

Come travel with me through a mixed media wonderland, where no materials are considered too strange to use in making something!

Cyndi is a tremendously vibrant and endearing person, and one that we stalked hunted down upon recommendation from another one of our bloggers, and are SO glad to have her here with us! I know you will love her as much as we do!

Next to launch is Stamping Mad, written by Katelyn Thomas. This blog has been around here for almost a year, and was one of the original blogs from AboutWeblogs. We have come close to launch a couple of different times, might even actually made it once, but we are good to go now - Katelyn is doing a fantastic job talking about all the wonderful things you can make and do with rubber stamps!

And last, but not least, I am happy to announce a new blogger at Tangled Thread, Cathy Perkins. If you love embroidery, sewing and all of the other magical things you can create with a needle and some thread, come by and join Cathy at Tangled Thread!

Welcome again to all of our new bloggers, I hope you will stop by and see what they are up to!
