craftgawker is a gallery where anyone can showcase their art, crafting and photography skills. It's a place for you to discover new artists and handmade goods to inspire your own creations. Anyone can submit pictures, if they follow our simple site rules...
Right now, we're accepting images from all websites (blogs, flickr, Etsy product listings, etc.) as long as there is some content associated with the image, i.e. no photo only pages.
craftgawker is a spin-off of our food gallery, foodgawker. Come visit foodgawker if you want some cooking inspiration. If you have any questions, please use the contact form to get in touch or leave us a comment with your thoughts, ideas, recommendations. Thanks!
P.S. A special thanks to @amandascookin from Amanda's Cookin' for encouraging us to start craftgawker.

[...] site foodgawker. Anyone can post photos of their work by following a few simple rules, find out how here. This is such a simple, great way to show off your work… speaking of I really need to get it [...]
I am disappointed that you only show pictures in a square format. As an artist, most of my work is rectangular and would be distorted if shown in a square format.
Nancy, when we designed the site we experimented with a non-square format but it presents issues for landscape or portrait shots depending on the dimensions we chose. That's why you see a square image format.
Regarding distortion of the image, we don't distort an image to make it square. We just reduce the image's smallest dimension to 250 pixels and center crop, so your images will not be distorted. The composition will not be ideal compared to your original format, but it won't be distorted.
You can also control your composition by submitting an image re-sized and cropped to 250x250 pixels.
What fun!!! Thanks for the opportunity to see and be seen.

WOW! Amazing work....this is what small artist like me need...we are good at creating our art but we (ateast me) fail to tell the world about it, N' tools like this are helping us focus more on what we can do best and make a living doing it.
Thanks

Thank you so much for putting my personalized drive-in drawing up! I love the big look that your format allows. I feel privleged to be among such company.
I love this idea! just wondering, how do we tag the images to show up in your search?
Love this website, the big pictures are ace and what you have approved so far all looks beautiful! I have the same question as Philippesarts - how long do submissions stay on the site?
Whoops that wasn't the same question i must have mis-read - I'm asking both though lol!
Love the opportunity to shop our work to a greater audience. Congrats Craftgawker on the recent "massive exposure" and getting "too many" submissions! that means you're so popular! :)
I'm completely wowed by this site. The format is beautiful and I've already marked a couple things. Now I really have to get some great photos so I can submit, too.
Wonderful idea and I'm waiting for my first approval

thanks for the opportunity to have my art viewed by a wider audience. I can't wait to view all the new art. its truly inspiring.
Hello:) I have been declined 3 times even though my photos depict exactly what my art looks like. My most recent one I believe the photo was acceptable but I failed to put the proper link to my listing page and instead did my home page. I'm new to this and not sure how to add the link to my listing or where/what that is. Thanks for any help:) April~ Lucas Leaf Creations
