If I can do this in the UK, I'd love to.
You have me on email already.

Hello!
Are there any jewelry and/or fashion bloggers out there? I've struggled to meet anyone in that field. Here's a place where we can chat, trade social media handles, and maybe talk ideas? I'm Katie Bee of lovekatiebeejewelry.com. Let's keep it going!

I LOVE this idea and support it 100%!

Hi all, just thought I'd suggest something that has been on my mind for quite a bit.

When I favourite a project its because I intend to somehow use it, and I don't think I'm alone on this. That's a great function of the site, being able to save all the projects I'd love to try in my favourite section. What I find however, is that there are plenty of lovely projects I'd love to show appreciation for or commend the creator for, but I don't want to essentially clutter my favourite section with projects I don't intend to try myself and I'm a little too shy to leave a comment.

Furthermore, its a little sad to see hundreds of projects on the site with 0 favourites that really deserve some appreciation! But I think that a lot of users are like me when deciding to favourite a project. In order to combat this, I think the introduction of a "like" or "upvote" button would be wonderful! There seems no need for an additional dislike button, because we are a supportive community who I don't imagine would discourage creativity or critique people with this function.

I just thought I'd put this idea out there (I'm sorry if it has been proposed before). The image attached is just something I whipped up in 5 minutes to show what this might look like.

Mine has to be Pandora

Sorry, I didn't explain properly. They can be from anywhere - and then we'll feature them on CO+K and yeah, feel free to share big bead companies too - we can feature them in Craft Test!

Do they have to be a member here??

@crafterella does big chain jewellry companies count???

We need some inspiration for awesome jewelry designers, beaders and wireworkers to feature. Who are your favourites?

I'll pop it on my to-do list

Has anyone got any suggestions for CO+K boards? Would love what you have to say xx

I don't usually have anything that fits in to the required catergory for the contests but when I have on a couple of occasions I have been lucky enough to win some runner up prizes.
It is starting to look like a free for all by glancing at the entries.
Does it actually matter though? Does anyone go though and kick out the ones not fitting with the set criteria?

Yeah, I kinda just look at it as one less competitor...

But it does kinda make me grouchy because it feels a little disrespectful to people who work hard on their projects for contests.

Yeah I find it annoying but I usually figure that they're just wasting their own time cause they aren't gonna win!

I think it's funny lol! I bet the people judging the contest get annoyed that they have to look through all those off topic entries though.
