#gallacrafts 101

[gallacrafts]

✨ new year, same gallacrafts ✨

now that we have your attention…

we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone about the purpose, how it works, and the rules (click for more in-depth info but keep reading for the highlights)

first and foremost, gallacrafts is about community and celebrating each other! crafting is about the journey not the final product… although the final product is pretty fucking cool too

gallacrafts is a monthly event and we are formulaic in our approach so folks can anticipate when themes drop and posting days are…

1st sunday: theme teaser

2nd sunday: theme announcement

3rd sunday: posting day (late posts are of course still welcome)

and we abide by three lil guidelines…

post original works

don’t be an asshole

no apologizing for your work

and please remember to @gallacrafts and use the associated theme # when you post! we don’t want to miss anyone and we all know this is a wack ass website sometimes

ps: check out past themes and faqs! 🖤

pss: remember that you can always submit themes! or suggestions or complaints or words of encouragement or whatever you want…

psss: reblog, like, and reply to all creations! give creators some sweet lovin’ because they worked hard and, just to see if you were paying attention, gallacrafts only exists because of community

love,

rhys & leah 😘

[gallacrafts]

we’re SO excited to announce a ✨ gallacrafts zine project ✨ to celebrate a YEAR of crafting magic!!

details under the cut, including the july 2022 theme reveal...

A GALLACRAFTS ZINE?!

hell yes, you heard that right! we weren’t lying when we said that 2022 was going to be a big year for gallacrafts and first anniversaries are traditionally represented by paper so we thought bet

and, of course, it would be insane not to shout out @odietamo-gallavichzine​ as they’ve paved the way for fandom zines and @mishervellous​ has been so incredibly generous with their time and talents, sharing tips and tricks to make sure this is an enjoyable and smooth process 

THEME REVEAL

it feels fitting that our anniversary theme be mickey’s iconic

you’re under my skin, man. fuck can i do?

because these two really got under all of our skins, didn’t they? 

CREATOR FORM

you know that we’re always excited to see you and your beautiful works! the process is similar to normal gallacrafts, however, we’re also challenging participants to really consider how their submissions can be interactive, whether that means providing a supplies list and step-by-step guide to replicate your craft, or maybe assembly instructions such as @suzy-queued theme 7 gallaball, whatever sparks your creativity! 

submission ideas...

artwork (we need images of our beautiful boys... if you’re interested in providing cover artwork, let us know!)

how to draw ian and mickey

recipes

making gifs 101

postcard someone can tear out and send

step-by-step guide to perler beads, cross stitching, finding a rock that looks like mickey, making a stamp of ian and mickey smooching, etc.

garanimals! 

know that you want to participate? submit a creator form here! ✨

rhys and leah are the only two who will have access to the forms. emails will be sent with creators bcc’d, but please note: if you join the discord, people will be able to see your username. 

TIMELINE

march 15: creator forms are due

april 15th: midway check-in point

may 1st: submissions due

may 1st: order form goes live

may 15th: order form due

FAQs

how much is this bad boy going to cost? we won’t know for sure until we receive all of the submissions, but we are estimating between 10-15 USD and that would include shipping costs.

how can i order a copy? we will make an order form live on may 1st! much more information will be shared. 

what about folks outside of the US when it comes to ordering? we’re likely going to set-up a wise account, which is like an international venmo/cashapp. if you live outside of the us and you have any recommendations on ways to make it easiest (we’ve heard paypal is a real beach), hit us up! we definitely have all of you sweet babes in mind though

how is this different than the regular monthly gallacrafts? it’s not that much different, it’s true, but it will allow us to engage our sense of touch and that’s super rad. also, it’ll be a super cool memento! 

what if i get inspired after sign-ups are closed? reach out to rhys or leah asafp! we built in secret buffer time so hopefully we could figure something out together that feels good, but if you’re even a little interested in participating, we strongly encourage you to submit a creator form! also, if for whatever reason it’s too late, still share your artwork on july’s posting day! we want to celebrate you!

will the monthly gallacrafts still be taking place? absolutely yes! we are announcing this now to give everyone who would like to participate time to plan and get things together, but rest assured we will still be operating gallacrafts as usual, so if you don’t wish to participate in the zine and would just prefer to be part of the monthly themes, that is perfectly ok!

i’m a world class gif maker and that doesn’t lend itself to print. how could you do this to me? gif makers, we love you and value you as the backbone of fandom, and we still want you to feel loved and welcomed so please please still share your beautiful creations digitally!
