“It takes a lot of craziness to put a magazine together,” says artist Lisa Rojas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She would certainly know.<\/p>\n

And so would fellow artists Carol Heppner<\/a>, Ann Butler<\/a> and Theresa Cifali<\/a>.\u00a0 The four of them are the creative team behind Bella Crafts Quarterly<\/a>\u2122!<\/p>\n

Now, in case you’re unfamiliar with Bella Crafts Quarterly<\/a>\u2122–it’s a free digital publication, filled with cool DIY projects, artist profiles, articles on crafts entrepreneurship, and social-media tips for artists.\u00a0 Carol, Lisa, Ann and Theresa started Bella Crafts Quarterly in 2012, with the goal of inspiring everyone–entrepreneurs and hobby crafters alike.<\/p>\n

Looking through their Winter 2013 issue, I personally love the soldered pendant how-to, tips on Twitter for crafters and that gorgeous “Lovely Luminary” candle Lisa came up with.\u00a0 And her article on hosting a card swap may very well be something you’d like to bookmark, for next Christmas season.\u00a0 But that’s just me–they have a Spring issue coming up soon, and you’re likely to find other personal favorites!<\/p>\n
