Hi Ian,
I was quite overwhelmed by the incredible amount of entries, I thought my computer would explode! Because I was under tight deadlines I only got in touch with those artists I could definitely include, that was back in April this year. Because of the sheer volume of images sent in overall, the difficult selection process and the amount of work that goes into prepping the final book manuscript, I just could not get back to everyone who entered but whose work I was, unfortunately, unable to include.
Hope to see you around in the 'burgh !

The Justified Sinner posted a blog postWhat Have I Been Up To?
Since returning from Istanbul, it has been non-stop in the workshop, preparing work for orders and making some new pieces too. I've sidelined a number of works-in-progress in order to get on with more pressing issues, so there are no updates on my Chanel-inspired piece or my tribute to Alexander McQueen, though I have progressed apace with my first foray into electronics in jewellery, "14th Century Nightlife" which I hope to finish finally this coming week after it sitting on my bench for…See More
