This is the fourth month in a new series of all the Artisan Crafts Daily Deviations from the previous month. In addition to each Daily Deviation will be the DD description that went with it, what sub-gallery it is located in, and the name of the suggester. I hope you enjoy this new series!
April 1 js-final 02 by
~alaskabody-dolls (Custom Dolls)

Featured by
^Pyrochan-dolls who said that this "is a beautiful doll featuring a hand crafted body with stunningly realistic details that have not been missed out. The expression and pose are so wonderfully dreamy and fairy like and the clothing and hair work wonderfully with everything else to make this a truly magical doll."




























April 2 Flying Squid Fork Necklace by
*Doctor-Gus (Jewelry)

The suggester said, "Both beautiful and unique, this stunning piece of jewelery would make a very eye-catching and bold addition to any jewelery box. Forget diamonds, forks are my new best friend!" Suggested by *
boribaby and ~
filicia.




























April 3 Goddess of the Body by
~Recycled-Oxygen (Sculpture and Glass > Pots & Vases)

According to the artist, all her painted tea bowls "are inspired by the Japanese Bushido gang and their beautifully intricate tattoos that cover their bodies. The right side of the cup is a torso of a man. On the other side of the tea bowl is the Goddess Benten. She is the maiden deity of water and the arts and the only woman among the Seven Gods of Luck and Fortune. She represents the gentle arts of music, painting, literature, and soft speech. The clay body is 181 white stoneware. It was bisqued to cone 6, painted and refired to cone 04 then glazed and fired for the final time to cone 1. The painting process usually takes me 10-15 hours per cup."




























April 4 Elizabeth Swann by
~Ravenspiritmage (Costumes)

The suggester said, "
~Ravenspiritmage is one talented costumer. She's able to put together highly accurate pieces within a short amount of time. This rendition of Elizabeth Swann from
PotC is one of her best and has won Best in Craftmanship on an international level Costuming event before. You'd have to be crazy not to check out the rest of her gallery for more of her awesome stuff!" Suggested by =
Ex-Shadow.




























April 5 The House of Mouse Family by
*The-House-of-Mouse (Textiles > Plushies)

Each tiny little mouse is handmade from felt... and I see Van Gogh Mouse, Cello Mouse, Zombie Mouse and omg, the whole family's flanked by Executioner Mouse and Hannibal Lecter Mouse! See how many you can identify too, but don't forget to take a trip to her gallery to see many, many more that you are sure to love! The suggester said of this artist that "she gives so much time and detail to her large collection of mice, which have their own unique personality. All of them are special in their own little way and I couldn't help but to fall in love with her gallery." Suggested by ~
Butterscotch-Llama.




























April 6 Origami Dress by
~Fraeggle (Folding & Papercraft)

The suggester said, "I don't know about you, but I'd wear that dress," and if that isn't a great compliment, I don't know what is. Suggested by =

Rellaenthia



























April 11 Happy Easter by
~GreenWay999 (Culinary Arts)
Pysanky is the art of egg decorating and its origins are south-eastern Europe in what is now Ukraine and it predates Christianity. A
kystka is used to apply beeswax in a wax-resist technique and then the egg is dyed repetitively to achieve astonishingly complex designs.




























April 12 True Regal Top Hat by
*evelynellenor (Textiles > Accessories)

I am really smitten with this hat because it is the most elegant design that I have seen in a very long time. In purple fur felt, it was made by a young milliner,
Evelyn Ellenor Mad Hattery, who "is inspired by Vintage Classics, Burlesque Starlets, Stunning Costumes, and Modern Alternative Fashion Trends... and specialising in all sizes of Top Hats from Miniature to Gentlemen's." You'll find that it would be suitable for many occasions, including an Easter Parade! Suggested by =

April 13 Music Spider Brooch by
~harlewood (Jewelry)

The suggester, who is also an accomplished jeweler, said, "Being a jeweller myself, I know what it is like to work with the materials, and I can tell you straight out that to join wire the way
~harlewood has in this piece is very difficult! The shapes are crisp with clean lines showing that the piece was not overpolished. The positioning of the objects on the wire is both well placed and neatly soldered. The spider is a gem, his body is proportionally correct and the whole design is really great!" Suggested by ~
biltongboy.




























April 14 "Lamp 1" by
~Grosseout (Sculpture and Glass > Lights & Kaleidoscopes)

The suggester said, "I saw this and was blown away. It looks complicated and yet its contrasting circles and squares give it a really appealing simplicity. I'd happily have this in my living room." Suggested by *
ikklesammy.




























April 15 My Secret by
~alberti (Costumes)

The artist's impressive costume-making skills are very evident here in her cosplay of Augusta Vladica (Seth Nightroad), the Empress of the New Human Empire, from
Trinity Blood.




























April 16 6 Textures of Milk Chocolate by
~giantoothpick (Culinary Arts)

A most decadent and thoroughly chocolate experience if there ever was one. Chocolate ganache, mmmm... but chocolate jasmine ice cream? That sounds so intriguing and beautiful! Please click on fullview to get a better look at this little bit of heaven!




























April 17 paper work by
~hazelB (Papercraft & Folding)

The suggester said, "This is a fantastic example of paper sculpting. Hazel has created a great illustration as well as an impressive example of paper engineering. She seamlessly blends characters and elements into a cohesive image with a great deal of visual interest. The mixture of textures in the clothing and food are great and varied. I'm simply amazed at how she has represented everything from lobster, to silk, to fish scales to cake frosting. It is an absolutely beautiful piece." Suggested by *
paperfetish.




























April 18 of tides by
=atmosblue (Textiles > Quilting)

The suggester wrote, "I saw 's deviation "Of tides" and thought to myself, 'Wow, another fantastic drawing by Blue.' Then, I scrolled down to the Author's comments (which has a stunning short story to go along with the drawing) and I saw that this was a tapestry... that is 8 feet long. "Of tides" is a handmade quilted tapestry with fantastic work and a story behind it. I am quite amazed." Suggested by ~
Alchemic-Illusion.




























April 19 Wall-E made in crochet by
~mellisea (Textiles > Plushies>


The suggester said of this crocheted Wall-E plushie, "I have come across this little crocheted version of Wall-E multiple times and every time I do, my heart melts. Is it ironic my son is watching the movie? Anyway, I do some crocheting and can only imagine the patience needed to go into such a small piece, particularly with the details." Suggested by =
SparklyDest.




























April 20 Amuse-Bouches by
~neongeisha (Culinary Arts > Main Dishes)

A trio of
amuse-bouches:
Three-Color Savory Cake (with spinach, soft white cheese, ham),
Poppy Seed Roll (with soft white cheese, Trappist cheese, ham), and
Savory Truffles (with chicken, parsley root, celery root, Trappist cheese, sourcream, olive). The
amuse-bouche dates from
nouvelle cuisine of the early 70s and these one-bite taste sensations are, according to executive chef Rocco DiSpirito, "the only fully creative outlet you have, the only completely free thing you can do. It also lets me expand the menu without actually expanding the menu." Suggested by `
dudewithbraces and @
Little-Vampire.




























April 21 Dragon Burn by
~themeindzeye (Woodworking)

The suggester said of this fantasy woodburning that it is "a very detailed rendition of a dragon done by woodburning. The flow of the body and tail is completely suited to the shape of the wood and the wings follow the wood grain for a great natural pattern." Suggested by *
cl2007.




























April 22 The amazing leaf carving art by
~longalcraft (Miscellaneous)

Carving leaves is apparently a new artform with origins in China. A chinar leaf (also known as Oriental plane) that looks similar to a maple leaf, is used and the design is made by cutting and carving away the surface of the leaf.




























April 23 Choco-Mint Faux Cupcake - 01 by
~CreativeAbubot (Sculpture and Glass > Ornaments & Paperweights)

The suggester said, "While browsing the front page, a picture of cupcakes caught my eye. I click on the picture and - it's a fake! They're all fake! But they look so good. ~CreativeAbubot's entire gallery is good enough to eat... if only it were all edible!" Suggested by ~

April 24 Easter Eggs by
*sasokity (Miscellaneous)

It's still just the beginning of Eastertide and only a few days since the Eastern Orthodox Christian Easter, which is the most extended religion in Romania where this artist is from. Only 15 years old, she learned her craft from her grandmother and it took her a month to paint this set of eggs with wax, acrylics, and a syringe. She gave some of them away to her friends and said that soon she'll give the rest of us a tutorial on how to decorate eggs in this Romanian tradition. This one should definitely be seen in full-view!

April 25 cyber pink bird cage skirt by
~zfjADE (Clothing)
About her fashions, ~
zfjADE herself has said that "I think fashion should have an element of the theatrical, or the fantastic. To me, if you are going to dress up, it should also represent some important aspect of you, so a lot of my work has to do with our fantasy life or our 'alter' egos." Check out ~
zfjADE's gallery for more fun fashions, including furry mittens and hats, arm warmers, and scarves. Suggested by ^
RockstarVanity.




























April 26 Marauder Shoes COMPLETE by
~KDodge (Textiles > Accessories)

The suggester said that these are "some of the coolest things I've seen on deviantART in the five or so years I've been snooping around. And, not because it is a Harry Potter-themed piece. The attention to detail and to the illustrative elements in these shoes is amazing, and the artist still retains thoughtful design elements that are sensitive to the form on which the artist is painting." Suggested by ~
Houseowl.




























April 27 Transforming Koi 1 by
~JoeVanderloo (Metalwork)

The suggester wrote that "Joe has created an amazing piece of metal sculpture based on the Japanese legend of the lucky koi who transforms into a dragon. The sculpture is not only an excellent example of a forged/fabricated piece of metal work, but it is an amazing representation of the physical transformation from koi to dragon. Please check out his gallery for other fine examples of his high quality metal work." A must-see in fullview! Suggested by *
paperfetish.




























April 28 Le Petit Princesse by
~Scootkadoot (Costumes)

The suggester wrote, "From first glance the costume is absolutely breathtaking, but for those of us who take a deeper look realize how much work and time went into this. At this point it couldn't even be considered a costume... it's a masterpiece. Ceil Phantomhive never looked so good. Did I mention that
~Scootkadoot is only 17?" Suggested by =
deviouselite.




























April 29 Pwned by
~ip2much (Plushies)

"Perfectly crafted and hilarious!" Suggested by =

April 30 The Elder Bass Guitar by
*porkshanks (Miscellaneous)
The suggester wrote, "We have seen many mods or global guitar or bass guitar modification, but this really is a masterpiece. The materials used, all the fine details, and the overall shape are just perfect. I'd give much to be able to play on such a unique bass guitar!" Suggested by =
