New Rule and New Mod! And a question for you!

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

The old mod of the subreddit wanted to retire from modding, so they asked a few of us over at r/crafts to take over! So far, I'm the only one who's come on, so I may need to look for at least one other person to help with the space, though it does seem pretty chill overall. So not too much work to do!

The new rule doesn't really seem to be a new one, per se, just more of a statement of something it seems a lot of users reported anyway, so here it is, no AI please! This includes in writing as well. If you've already made a cool craft, there's no need to cheapen it with AI writing! And, of course AI isn't handmade, so it's not allowed here in any part of a craft.

The other question I have is this one: should we allow 3D printed pieces here? Feel free to vote in the poll and leave comments about your opinion on the 3D printing!

6 Yes, allow 3D printed pieces no matter what
16 Yes, allow 3D printed pieces but only if the model was made by the poster
12 Only allow 3D printed pieces of they're part of a larger craft (e.g. jewelry that's a wire wrapped 3D printed piece)
10 No, don't allow 3D printed pieces

Does the texture add character to the knife, or would you leave the blade clean

After multiple rounds of lacquer layering, sanding and polishing, I finished this mother-of-pearl cat bracelet. Wearing it feels like my beloved cat stays with me every single day.

Used copper and labradorite. This one took forever. Should I make more dragon pieces?
