Jewelry Stringing Spring Issue

I picked up the digital issue of Jewelry Stringing magazine this morning and perused it over coffee. I am not in this particular issue but quite a few of my friends are!! I really enjoyed this COLOR-IFIC issue- it's FULL of interesting and unique designs!! Sometimes it's rare to see such one-of-a-kind projects but this issue really is one of the best I've seen!

 Erin Siegel has some wonderful projects in the mag, and I was absolutely FLOORED by a bracelet design by Cynthia Machata that uses leather and pearls.  There are really great earring designs. Ah well, I'm SO INSPIRED!!
I also learned from this issue that they are now accepting Bead Star submissions!! Be sure to read the guidelines carefully- there is a fee now to enter!

      Cynthia,
      I didn't know that was your design as I did not know your full name. WOW! Amazing bracelet, really!!!

    I totally agree, too! I was amazed at that bracelet by Cynthia. SO cool and CLEVER!!! I did not know it was the same Cynthia of Antiquity Travelers until just now seeing her comment! I saw the Bead Star thing, too. We'll see if I can get my act together enough to enter. Right now, it's not looking good for the early bird submissions...

    Haven't seen this one yet--this is the first issue in years that I didn't get anything accepted. Does anyone feel that their new submission guidelines are too restrictive? I don't mind working to a color palette, and I don't mind working to a theme, but if you make me work to a color palette AND a theme, you will never get my best work. Plus, all the designs look too much the same. Man, that sounds super bitchy, doesn't it?

    Love, love, love the heart collection, Lorelei.
    I agree with Erin re the new Stringing guidelines - yes, everything does begin to look the same and there's little distinction identifying a designer's work anymore.

I'm sorry to have to turn on the word verification here, but I got fed up with spammers comments!
