Hello, fellow crafters!
Guess what? It's time for Thursday Features! I have returned after quite a long features hiatus and I'm glad to be back! We're going to rock Thursday Features this year...like whoa! Prepare yourselves for even more exciting themes, more deviations and more craftin' shenanigans!
For all of you new members, both within the deviantART and ArtisanCraft community, Thursday Features collects handfuls of deviations submitted by members of the group based on a particular theme. This week's theme is the Best of 2012 and will showcase various artisan craft works completed in 2012. Each artist featured submitted works that they thought were their best accomplishments, improvements, favorites of the year. 
Features :: Best of 2012
Saying goodbye to another craft-filled year.

Suggestion Time!
Next Week's Theme: Beginnings of a New Year
What's in store for the future...
Next week, we're going to take a look at craft work created during 2013's fresh, new beginning! What's the first craft piece you created for 2013 so far? Since some of you may still be working hard on your craft projects, I've decided to extend the submission deadline to a full two weeks! If you're not done with your first craft project of 2013, you have plenty of time to finish and submit your work! YAY!
Also, when submitting your work via note, feel free to include your crafting plans for 2013. What do you wish to accomplish during the year? What craft techniques do you want to learn? What sort of projects do you have planned? What other plans or ideas do you have for the year? Sharing your "2013 Plans" is optional, but they will also be posted along with your deviations, something new for the 2013 Thursday Features.
Deviation Suggestion Rules
Only submit your own work, up to five deviations. Submitted works created by other deviantART artists will only be accepted when the option is available to do so Do no suggest work that has already been featured. Try and submit something else or something new! You can check out previous Thursday Features to see if the any of the deviations you had in mind have already been featured All suggested deviations must be uploaded to the Artisan Crafts and/or Sculptures categories Do not suggest WIPsIf you have any questions about the features or suggestion rules/information, don't be afraid to ask! Comment here or ask within your suggestion note!
Send in deviation suggestions by sending ArtisanCraft or stina-marie a note titled Thursday Features with either [links] or :thumbs: of your deviation suggestions.
The deadline for Beginnings of a New Year feature will be Wednesday, January 16th @ 12 Midnight PST (Pacific Standard Time).
If you live outside of the US, be sure to check out the World Clock to find your country/location to make sure you submit your suggestions in on time!
I look forward to all of your awesome suggestions for next week!
