Love this way of presenting crafts – it’s actually nice to see a 3D version of the crafts rather than just an image. Maybe I’ll be brave enough to join in one day.
Thanks for linking to the Sunday Showcase. I’ve pinned to our board.

Yes, I guess it is fun to see the items 3D – I never thought of that aspect!!
