Though Halloween is not a holiday we normally think about when it comes to jewelry, it is one of my favorite holidays because of the idea that you get to dress up and be somebody else for the day. At the very least, even if I don't do a full "dress up," I will be wearing my spider earrings that day. I'm thinking of trying a few new jewelry ideas, but I wonder: am I the only one?

Please take two seconds and take my poll over at the forum: Are you planning on making any Halloween jewelry this season? Or, of course, post your thoughts here in the comments area.

I've found a wealth of jewelry how-to's and news for you starting with some excellent videos produced by Art Jewelry Magazine. One in particular that I think beginning metalsmiths will find very helpful is called "Lighting and Using a Torch," demonstrated by Addie Kidd. You will need to sign up for a membership to the site in order to view the videos, but membership is free. So that means free jewelry videos!

For those jewelry makers who are interested in getting some exposure for their jewelry designs, Lark Books has a call for entries for a book called 500 Gem and Stone Jewels. The entry deadline is in December. Find out more about the requirements for the CFE at their Artists Submissions page.

Beading Daily has a very cool free jewelry project for you called Splash of Pattern. It was designed by Melinda Barta, the author of Custom Cool Jewelry (which I recently reviewed for this site). In the free project offered, show shows how to use rub-on transfers to decorate a pendant or charm.

Rings & Things sells all kinds of jewelry making supplies including those you need to hand stamp letters and other patterns into metal. Plus, I discovered they also have a free pdf techniques sheet you can download as well in case you aren't sure where to start.

Naomi Fujimoto of BeadStyle magazine has an interesting blog post about How an Editor and an Art Director Design Jewelry Together. Learn a little about how the behind the scenes process is done for magazines and other publications. Very often we forget that part of these people's jobs depend on learning to creatively collaborate.

Finally, another web video tip for you - If you are a resin lover, then you'll love the excerpt from Sherri Haab's new resin DVD available now at YouTube.com. She shows how to make a floating heart pendant.
