Out and About Jewelry

There are a number of on-line jewelry events going on right now. So I thought it would be a good time to catch you up on some of the happens.

On-line voting has started for the 8th International Ugly Necklace Contest sponsored by the Land of Odds. Make sure you don't eat lunch right before voting. You've been warned!

For bead lovers, you'll want to enter Artbead.com's sweepstakes, The World's Greatest Bead. It ends on July 22nd and prizes included, what else, but gift cards so you can load up on all your favorite beads.

Fire Mountain Gems and Beads is showing off the designs of those who won its latest contest which included metal clay, metal beads, wire and chain. Congrats to Melissa J. Lee for her winning entry, "I Think, Therfore I Am 2.0."

Beadshop.com has a new video tutorial out on how to connect a metal cone to a fiber cord. It's on YouTube and ready for viewing.
