Hi hi all!
I'm so excited to have discovered another little group of jewelry designers. You all seem to hide in the most unique places. :)
By way of introduction, my name is Danielle Beaty. I'm the owner of TurtleBay Jewelry as well as the Editor for PROJewelryDesign.com. Our site is dedicated to providing jewelry artists with all kinds of information regarding design theory, marketing, selling, tools, tips, tutorials and bench work.
We are currently sponsoring a Jewelry Design Challenge/Contest at the PJD site, and we'd love to have all of you. Feel free to visit the site and click on the CONTEST page at the top of our website header.
Also, we are filling the remaining spots for 2008 in our "Spotlight On" series, a review of up and coming jewelry artists. If you are a working designer/jewelry artist and have a strong body of work behind you, we'd love to have you. That application is also available on the top of the site; click on the Artist Application page.
Looking forwards to seeing everyone's beautiful pieces and designs.
Best,
~Danielle Beaty, Editor
