Art Jewelry Magazine
In December I had submitted two of my pieces to Art Jewelry Magazine for possible publication. One piece I had submitted only as an entry to the gallery of work they showcase in each issue. The other I submitted as a project/tutorial. Well, just last week I heard back from them with their decisions. They didn't want the piece for the gallery. They wanted me to do a project on it instead. And they also liked the second one and would like a project for that as well. I AM SO EXCITED.
So which pieces are going to be in Art Jewelry?
Winter Lily - I even made this one in copper so I could make certain I could actually recreate it.
The second piece to be accepted is that fabulous Fine Silver chain everyone loves.
I don't know which issues they are going to be in yet, but I will certainly keep everyone posted here. So just watch for updates.
Also, some people have asked me lately if I could let them know when I update my Design Journal. You can actually subscribe to the Design Journal and it will shoot you an email every time I make a new post. At the bottom right, under the menus, there is a box that says subscribe. Just enter your email and you will be ready to go. Thank you to all of you that take the time to leave me comments. I really appreciate it.

I am so happy that the publishers were smart enough to accept both pieces for project tutorials. My heart just melts every time I see that Lily brooch. Hooray and big kudos to you.

Illaya,
Thank you so much! I am really excited about this. I started photographing the steps yesterday and have most of the tutorial written for the Lily. I can't believe how much work this is. I have been writing my hand outs for my classes, but this just seems more difficult to me. I guess it is because it is for an international audience rather than just a handful of personal students.
I will be certain to post when the article date and issue has been set.

I've gushed over your Winter Lilies over at CWJ Forums but they're gorgeous enough to warrant a 2nd truckload of gush so - GUSH. These are beautiful, Melissa

Chona,
I tried to email you but it didn't go through. I do not have a catalog of my work other than what is here on my site. If you have any questions regarding any of the pieces please feel free to ask.
