Critique a Handmade Craft or Art Project and Suggest Improvements

You've made something by hand and you want real feedback, not a polite well done. Describe your project and this gives a proper critique: the specific weaknesses, why they matter, and what to do about them. The kind of honest note that actually moves the work forward. For when you suspect the praise is being kind.
