Nothing better than making the front pages of your hometown’s major newspaper! It only took me 15 years, but here I am featured as the Style & Taste cover story for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, January 11, 2012! Wonderful article, “Silver, gold, Lego: Precious links to the past are jeweler’s gems“ by John Petkovic – we had a long phone interview back last fall and it was definitely worth the wait. HUGE,…

Listen to a fun 30 minute radio interview with the author on the Eclectic Author's Showcase!
Brigitte talks about what it was like working with the artists and reads some fun excerpts.
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!

Hi Emiko. It was such a pleasure in meeting you at Snag this weekend, brief as it was. I will be in SF next weekend and I was wondering if you had any suggestions to shows or galleries in the area that you wouldn't mind suggesting. I'm still in limbo as I just graduated and may be moving to that area... Thank you so much!

Thank you very much for your membership payment and support of crafthaus. Your membership is valid through April 15, 2014.
Enjoy crafthaus, participate often :-) Maybe upload images of new work ?
We jury online exhibitions for Crafthaus and are inviting you to submit to our calls-
Earthly Pleasures http://crafthaus.ning.com/group/crafthausexhibition/forum/topics/open-call-earthly-pleasures
Me, Myself and I will be our 7th show http://crafthaus.ning.com/group/crafthausexhibition/forum/topics/open-callme-myself-and-i
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.

Yes I'm very excited about blogging and what not. Thanks for following. I'll be certain to capture as much as possible for those who are not attending. Maybe some flickr too. Sorry to hear you won't be there.
