Artfire is beta testing its Collections functionality

Artfire is testing its new ‘Collections’ functionality. Artfire Studio owners will have the ability to curate groups of items from different Artfire Studios to display trends, themes, colors or other groupings of the Seller’s choice.

I’ve been playing around a bit this week and created several Collections of some truly gorgeous Artfire creations. As of today, the Collections tool is only available for testing to the Artfire Maven group. But, Artfire hopes to roll it out to everyone very soon.

Here are some I’ve curated:


You can see all the existing Collections here:

You can see my entire list of curated Collections by using the Search box on the left hand side of the page, choose Advanced Search and then enter shinyadornments in the Curator text box.

Pretty nifty.
