art and craft online forums / shop / discussion boards?

Question

I want to go on a good art and craft forum online, to discuss all things crafting and to look at what other people have made and show my things, does anyone know any good ones?? thankyou

Answer 1

For general crafts, here are some good ones:

http://www.craftster.org/forum
http://boards.hgtv.com/eve

You can also find very good boards and mailing lists on just about any particular craft topic you want at Yahoogroups or Delphiforum or Googlegroups (which includes Usenet groups), for example:

http://groups.yahoo.com
http://www.delphiforums.com
http://groups.google.com/groups/dir

All those groups may have different tones, numbers of members, extra chat, level of expertise, etc., etc.... just gotta find some that suit you.

Answer 2

I like etsy for checking out what other people have made.

I've tried to find some MSN groups for crafting, but many of them are very slow. It seems like the more active ones are closed to new members.

I've been reading craft blogs like not martha and am thinking about maybe doing my own.
