Interested in submitting jewelry designs to magazines?

Magazines such as Stringing, Beadwork, Bead&Button, Art Jewelry, etc. need designs that interest their readers.

These are some of the qualities that the editors look for:
* eye-catching
* lays well for a photograph (some designs that look fantastic when worn, just don't lay flat for a photo)
* skill level appropriate for their reader base
* comes with a step-by-step how-to
* findable components (not fair to tease the readers with something you can't purchase or make)

What's in it for you?… Continue

SCC Craft Show Sat. Nov. 7th

Hi - Just a note to tell people I will be displaying/selling (hopefully!) my art at the upcoming Spokane Community College Arts and Crafts show this Saturday. I am really looking forward to being in a show this big! (Only my 3rd show so far.) Hope people will come out and look! (And buy - these pieces will make unique and one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts!) I have many more pieces than are shown on this site!!

Thanks! : )

What I do . . .

I started making my creations this summer. I had been collecting rocks, driftwood pieces, gemstones, shells, beads, etc. for many years. I finally decided to put them together to create what one friend has called "nature sculptures." Another friend has described them as "meditative pieces." They are, in a sense, miniature landscapes ~ tiny, peaceful, natural spaces in which one may place their consciousness for a time. I hope they bless your eyes and spirit!!

Welcome To Spokane Area Arts and Crafts Networking Community


This community was started as a means to simply bring a variety of local niche artists from the Spokane area together in hopes of creating interesting and unique opportunities for all members.

Members are not limited to the few arts categories within the site title. All area artists are encouraged join up, and benefit from networking within the Community.
When we think of Artists, our minds can travel to any number of artistic niches. An attempt to categorize or list us all could be never ending.

It is interesting though that many arts related events, shows, festivals, fairs, etc., comfortably combine an endless mix of all imaginable artistic related niches.

Aside from selling our wares at these events, they are also golden networking opportunities. Any number of business building possibilities. Unique, often surprising, and totally unexpected opportunities can present themselves.

These events let us network face to face. Both with other vendors, and of course any local artists walking in to attend.

These "face to face" networking opportunities can turn out to be much more valuable in the long term than any single sale as a vendor at these events.

That is the goal of this community. Except, to provide an "online" social network that can potentially let these same interesting, unique, surprising, and totally unexpected opportunities unfold between area artists.

Hey, maybe even make a friend or two while were here !
