BlogFire Lights Up BHR

AliciaMae, Guild Master of the BlogFire Guild on ArtFire was our guest co-host at Blockhead Radio Live (BHR) last evening. Her team dominated the chat room, as we discussed the nitty-gritty of this awesome blogging guild.

Bloggers on Artfire - "we blog about crafting, art, and selling online. We're on twitter too" says AliciaMae...admited control freak. However, it is only because if she does it herself, then she has no one to blame for any mistakes. Awwwww!

In addition to her eclectic artistan interests, Alicia works from home as a full-time editor for mostly technical science publications. From the White Mountains of New Hampshire where she finishing her PhD, Alicia enjoys the peace of a lifetime living with and around creative others.

"Woodburning was passed down to me from my Mom and I have always had an affinity for paint. Cross stitching was a hobby when I was a teenager and bracelet weaving was a summer camp hobby that brings back nostalgic memories. I used to play with polymer clay and always enjoyed the miniatures my aunt made for herself. Given that information, I have about 20 years experience in making these items, but am constantly expanding my horizons."

Approximately 60 members and growing, it was a joy to reunite with Alicia after a long time of being teammates on another venue.

Artisan Teams & Groups/Guilds Goes Wild

Little did we know that my guest co-host on last nights "Artisan Teams & Groups/Guilds" show would run almost an hour over-time! Well, I guess we should have known, it was Blockhead Rod. Admitted Control Freak (there is no patch for this one folks), high IQ, Might Might of a wife who he married two weeks after meeting, and owner of Blockhead Radio Live! Six awesome children, parrot head, workaholic, minister, and former pro-blogger who has evolved into the talented producer of his own 24/7 hit internet radio venue.

Joined by Blockhead Rod's "real" wife Annette a/k/a Huck who knows what she knows and is extremely talented, and his "internet" wife Witchy a/k/a Cassandra who was announced as Blockhead Rod's favorite BHR Host. Well, she should be after all of the history behind their joining forces and the countless hours she now spends working within BHR management for the constant forward motion and momentum that BHR has gained. Besides, who does not love our Witchy...witty, intelligent, creative, strong, and purty too!

Shared were some exciting announcements, such as the new show "Handmade Insider" hosted by the 2 & only Art Fire co-founders John Jacobs (who loves his breakfast) and Tony Ford. Tune in Thursdays 1:30 pm eastern time.

BHR's BIGGEST STALKER Win your own FREE website for a month with all of the bells & whistles, and so much more you will cry!

The Stalkers, an ArtFire Guild has launched, "experience a plus but not required. Training is provided with active membership in this Guild. We seek those with a passion for promoting Artisans and The Handmade Movement."

The evolution of Rod Gambrel from kid, to Army, to bouncer, to truck driver, to pro-blogger, and eventually to master of BHR (or so they let him believe anyway), Rod's expectations are now exceeding his dreams and we all get to go along for the ride 24/7.

Secret: Blockhead Rod has a man-crush on Adam, co-owner of ByHand.Me
Secret: Witchy hates velvet
Secret: Huck is a huge Scrubs fan

Join me next week at BHR for "Artisans Teams & Groups/Guilds" 8pm est. My guest co-host will be AliciaMae Guild Master of Blog Fire.

the Artisan Beaders Team Does BHR!

Something interesting happened to me Tuedsay evening over at BlockheadRadioLive.com

(click on banner)

Lee of the Artisan Beaders Team joined me as guest co-host on the "Artisan Teams & Groups" show. One of the interesting tidbits about this team is that they do not have a team leader. Instead they have a mission statement, are a juried team, keep their membership to a managable and comforatble level, and use a private board to talk.

Callers to the show included Vicki and Deronda, who added their personalities and helped to promote the team, its beliefs, and members. The chat room was alive and kicking!

Lee can be found at 1000 Markets where she and her partner began going by the name of Five to Nine Designs.

Thank you, to all of you.

It's a bear out there! Come join us Saturday, at 1 pm Eastern, to hear our Artisans Teams and Groups show with Lily of TulipsTreasureBox as she interviews Shelley, of the Artist Bears and Friends Team.

What IS the Artist Bears and Friends Team?

From their Etsy Team Page:
We are a collective of artists who make soft-sculptured collectibles produced in the image of a bear and/or any other real or imaginary creature. These collectibles are knitted crocheted, needle felted or stitched with an external covering of yarn, mohair, wool, plush or other fabric including real fur and leather. They may be jointed, partially jointed, or un-jointed. Their common denominator is that none of them are intended or safe for children.

We promise it'll be a BEARY good time!
