Hello fellow metal smiths!


I'm enjoying the new changes to DA, I think they were much needed. However, they did hide a lot of the group messages in the drop down menu. So I have decided to make the submissions automatically accept since I'm not notified every time I get a message to accept something into the gallery folders anymore. Hopefully that's not going to be an issue.


You know, I was cleaning out a lot of "dead groups" from my watch folder and I hope the metalsmiths isn't one of them. I thought about closing the group, but you know what? I think this is the best collection of jewelry and metal work anywhere on DA, and closing the group would be a damn shame.


Keep making (and submitting) great metal pieces,


--Alex

Hi I'm updating my journal because it's been years since I did it. 
I'm on google+ and Facebook, which is where I'm a little more active. However,  I still drop by several times a week so feel free to say hello. 


I now work in a different town than where my studio is located, so making metal work is now slow going, I've mostly been doing photography in this account I've also been drawing and painting since that's easier to travel with.


Thank you for looking at my gallery.


Some of my newest deviations are:

We are also selling a lot of soap, and have lots of shows coming up in the month of June and throughout the summer. Including the SMAG fundraiser on June 18th: sacmetalartsguild.wordpress.co…

Also I might be going to the rainbow gathering in July, So I'm going to apologize in advance if you note me, or comment and I don't respond right away, my summer is going to be very action packed.

have a great summer everyone! :)

have you seen these links around DA?

#GetWatchers help artists to share their creativity, increase their audience and get more feedback by getting more exposure and pageviews. If you want more exposure of your arts, constructive critics, watchers and/or if you would like to discover new talented artists, come join us :pointr: Here :pointl:.


I actually clicked on one, not knowing what it was. Its a third party website that rewards you for faving, viewing and watching other deviants by giving you more views from other users. The more artwork you view, the more views you get, and you get bonus points when you comment, fav, or watch. It's interesting, I actually really like this idea. I especially like that you can rate the artwork you see, which I think is helpful.

downside--it's a little buggy and isn't really easy to use.

I'm curious if anyone else has tried it, and what they thought of it. If you haven't tried it, I would recommend it.  I've seen some good work, that I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and it's always good to expose your work to people how wouldn't come across it.
