"Behind the Brooch"
I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!

Sitting Pretty Part 2 is how the show will look http://crafthaus.ning.com/group/sittingprettytheartsittingpretty
A show at Crafthaus has more of an audience then a gallery and offers a permanent stage to the world. We do love gallery shows, but at Crafthaus submission is easy, doesn't cost anything for members. In addition to our calls there are others you may be interested in.
We try to make the submission process as painless as possible! If you have any questions please let us know. Glen & Marie
Great website too.
Thanks
Glen
Just checked out your website. It looks great! Seems like you have been extremely busy. I hope all is going well.
Your new cutters are really sleek! When are you passing through Champaign next?
Hugs,
Billie
On another, but related note, have you ever soldered aluminum? I've read it's possible and smallparts.com even sells a kit supposedly, but I've heard it's really difficult and not that great of results...just wondering if you've ever played with it or know someone who has.
Thank you very much for your membership payment and support of crafthaus. Your membership is good through 7-15-2011.
I look forward to seeing more images of your incredible work :-) Enjoy crafthaus !
Regards, Brigitte
