Entry deadline: April 27, 2009
If you’re a talented, skilled jewelry designer working with iron, Lark Books needs you! We’re seeking high-quality images for the gallery section of Iron Wire Jewelry, to be released in Fall 2010.
Send us pictures of your best earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, or other creative jewelry showcasing your original designs and amazing skills. If you incorporate other materials like beads or resin, that’s great too, but make sure iron is the most prominent. Submission to the book is free.
Lark Books has done the entire jewelry industry a service with its series of jewelry related books. Published entries are by skilled and (usually, but not always) recognized craftspersons. And having a picture in one of their books is a serious credential for clients, gallery owners, etc.
This is a great opportunity.
Are you going to enter something? I hope so!
I don’t work with iron myself, but I’ve got pieces in some other books, and it is definitely a *wonderful* experience.
Hey Ladies (and Gentlemen)! I just wanted to add that iron (and steel) wire can be found at your local Home Depot, Ace or True Value. If you work with wire or have an idea for my upcoming book’s gallery, please do submit. We can’t wait to see the wonders you’ll make (sounds like a Dr. Seuss book — Oh! The Wonders You’ll Make)! Check out my blog for a few more details: http://www.BrendaSchweder.com.
Thanks for that tip, Brenda!
OK kids…we’ve got our marching orders. Let’s make Brenda proud of us!
