I just completed my E-Book titled "A Beginners Guide To A Jewelers Workshop"<br />
<br />
Everything you need to know when starting up a metalsmithing workshop.<br />
<br />
E-Book PDF Format<br />
23 Pages<br />
<br />
This guide was made as a reference to help you start up your very own jewelers’ workshop. A jewelers’ workshop varies from one artist to another. This guide is based on the tools I use to make high quality sterling silver jewelry. Buying tools for the first time can be overwhelming. I know when I first started collecting tools for my jewelry studio I struggled with what tools to purchase first. The information I have shared is a basic guideline of what you should have in your workshop. All tools listed I use on a daily basis and find that without these tools I wouldn’t be able to make the jewelry that I make today.<br />
<br />
Guide features 23 pages of information:<br />
<br />
-basic jewelers workshop set-up (included topics such as ventilation and torch set-up<br />
-tools and equipment lists along with tool decriptions and pictures<br />
-design for building your own jewelers bench<br />
-tips and tricks<br />
-recommended reading<br />
-ring blank chart, birthstone chart and ring size chart<br />
-list and links to jewelry related suppliers, magazines, forums and organizations<br />

<u>Bio:</u><br />
<br />
I am Kat O'Sullivan, a free-spirited hitchhiking girl who has spent most of her life bumbling about the planet in search of senseless adventure and community.<br />
<br />
These are my original hoodie designs, which have evolved with much love over the past 20 years of my wanderings. I try to infuse my work with the bohemian spirit in which I live my life. I know that sounds like a bunch of hippy drivel, but IT'S TRUE! haha.<br />
<br />
I reckon I have vagabonded though close to 100 countries. I've spent years on the festival trail, following the Dead, mermaid parading, moshing, granfallooning, standing on my head in India, and just staring at the campfire. I have hitchhiked to Timbuktu, Kathmandu, Kalamazoo, and pretty close to Xanadu too...<br />
<br />
For years and years I have funded my personal carnival by selling my patchwork gypsy wares. <br />
<br />
I am a painter as well as a seamstress, and these sweaters are a combination of both of those passions. I think of the creations process as sort of "sweater expressionism". (okay, actually, i just made that term up when i was typing this, but, it seems about right.)<br />
<br />
I have sewn literally thousands of sweaters in order to perfect my technique and arrive at this elf coat confection. These are rough and tumble garments, expertly tailored to last you through many years of rambling. Some of my sweaters have been around the world a few times, and only look better for the wear.<br />

I made my first jewelry box six years ago for my sister. I've built many more and learned a great deal since then but I still use the same level care as the first time.<br />
<br />
I never imagined I would end up working with my hands. Though I studied to be an engineer I gained a greater appreciation for the machinists that actually made things. I found in wood a material that I could learn to work with on my own. A piece of wood can have its own unique character and beauty so it is not just about forcing your own ideas onto the material but a partnership with it.<br />

I love the ethnic flare that exudes from each of his handcrafted pieces. Bold designs, vibrant colors, and mesmerizing detail makes each piece an exquisite work of art. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"My name is Charan Sachar, and I am the potter behind Creative with clay.<br />
<br />
I have lived in India for a significant part of my life where my mother ran a boutique designing clothes for brides and bridesmaids. The colors, fabrics, embroidery and designs I came across then have a strong impact on my work now.<br />
<br />
My work also reflects my love for Bollywood movies and my fascination with life in India. I strive to give life to clay, decorating it with Indian influences keeping functionality and uniqueness in mind.<br />
<br />
Pottery has given me the much needed respite from the monotony of everyday life. Working with clay and giving it form feels as satisfying as organizing and bringing peace to all the chaos that is there around you. My goal is to continue to work with this medium to create art work which is cherished for life."</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

(<em>along with a bottle of wine of course!)</em><br />
I can just imagine a tree full of unique handmade ornaments each representing a different artist. Hmmm...I think a tree like this may be in my future. You could gaze at it for hours, each decoration its own little piece of artwork with a story of where you found it. Now thats a conversation piece!<br />

</div>Bio: <em><u>Cynthia Toops</u></em> <br />
<br />
Cynthia has been working with polymer clay since the 1980s. While she is known for her figurative micromosaic pieces, in the last few years she has been concentrating on thin sheet work, creating the cone and claw necklaces and the rolodex series. Most of her work is inspired by ethnic jewelry and ancient beads which she and her husband collect. Cynthia has a BFA in printmaking from the University of Washington and a BA in Biology from Drake University. She spends long hours researching and planning work with Dan Adams, her husband and collaborator. Besides her jewelry work and teaching, she enjoys sushi.<br />

<li>BFA. Printmaking, University of Washington, Seattle, WA., 1983</li>

</div> Bio: <em><u>Dan Adams</u></em><br />
<br />
Dan works full time at a laboratory, making glass beads and jewelry at night and weekends. Originally trained in Anthropology, he is intrigued with the history of glass and the use of beads in the world’s various cultures. Warring States beads were his initial inspiration but tribal design, contemporary design and natural history all have translated into beads. We have both also worked in various collaborative pieces with ourfriends, Seattle metalsmiths Chuck Domitrovich and Juan Reyes.<br />

Something had attracted us to the one we chose: its look, its feel, maybe we were drawn to it by some memory or association it provoked. <div align="left" class="style13">Making functional pots grants me the rare privilege of being part of peoples' lives, through their daily rituals of eating and drinking, alone or in social settings.

<div align="justify" class="style10"><span style="font-size: small;"><em><u>Biography</u></em></span></div><div align="justify" class="style10"><span style="font-size: small;">When Laurie Goldstein's family moved to Israel from New York, she was very concerned that she'd have to speak Hebrew <br />
with her kids. Luckily, she was eight years old and still had enough time to learn the language before her kids would be born.</span></div><div align="justify" class="style10"><br />
</div><div align="justify" class="style10"><span style="font-size: small;">Her childhood experiences include being "the new kid in class" many times, watching her parents adjust to a new country, playing and fighting with her sister, a lot of dance classes, books, an artistic and cultural education from her parents and finally, her own love of making things, always.</span></div><div align="justify" class="style10"><br />
</div><div align="justify" class="style10"><span style="font-size: small;">After completing her bachelor's degree in set and costume design at Tel Aviv University, she set off to NYC to do a lot of drawing and ended up in the MFA program for theatre design at New York University. But then something happened that changed the course of events; she took a throwing class and fell in love with clay - completely.</span></div><div align="justify" class="style10"><br />
</div><div align="justify" class="style10"><span style="font-size: small;">Starry-eyed, she moved to a small town seven hours away from the city, in the snow belt of America, and spent the next two years passionately studying ceramics at Alfred University.</span></div><div align="justify" class="style10"><br />
</div><div align="justify" class="style10"><span style="font-size: small;">She came back to Israel, set up her own studio, joined "Altogether 8," a cooperative gallery in Jerusalem and has since participated in many exhibitions. She continues to make functional work and is committed to the ongoing quest of combining function, aesthetics and beauty.</span></div></td></tr>

I just posted a simple tutorial of how to make animated ads! I will post it here but it will also be available on my new <em>Tutorial</em> page. It's my first tutorial but there will be more to come!<br />
<br />
<strong><u>How To Make Animated Ads</u></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.thestyleloop.blogspot.com/"><img alt="gif animation creator" border="0" height="200" src="http://i.picasion.com/pic33/fd853debe72e3a341d66248186f38b8b.gif" width="150" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Create eye-catching animated ads just like the ones you’ve seen on <a href="http://www.craftopolis.com/#com=sl"><span style="color: #882288;">Craftopolis</span></a> and <a href="http://indiefixx.com/"><span style="color: #882288;">Indiefixx</span></a>.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">There are numerous on-line programs you can use for creating your own animated ads. For this tutorial I chose to use <a href="http://picasion.com/"><span style="color: #882288;">http://picasion.com/</span></a> but you’ll find most programs generally all work the same way.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">I will make an animated ad that is 150 x 200 pixels, using 3 images.<br />
<br />
1: Select your best 3 images that you would like to use for your ad.<br />
<br />
2: The 3 images must be the same size. You will need to crop and/or resize your images so they are 150x200 pixels. Any photo editing program will do this.<br />
<br />
3: Once all your images are the same pixel dimension you may want to add text to your images. A shop name is usually all you need. If adding text remember your ad is animated and you may want to add text to all 3 images.<br />
<br />
4: Now you need to upload your images to <a href="http://picasion.com/"><span style="color: #606420;">http://picasion.com/</span></a>. Click on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Browse </i>find your image in where it is saved on your computer, select it and click <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Open. </i>Continue this for all your photos until all 3 images are listed in the image section.<br />
<br />
5: Go down to where it says <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Size</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Speed.</i> You can select the sizing from a drop down list of standard sizes or you can go the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Advanced </i>and type in the width of your image to keep it the size you want. (the images height will be what you already saved it as based on the pixel width) So here I type in 150 (wide) in the box where it says <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">your size. </i><br />
<br />
6: Go to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Speed </i>and select how quick you want your ad to flip through the images. I find normal to be too fast, I generally use <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">slow</i> or <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">slower</i>. There is also an <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Advanced</i> option if you want to select how many seconds you want your images to be static for before changing over to a new image. When you’re all set you can click on the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Create Animation</i> button below and there you have it! Your very own animated ad!<br />
<br />
Your animated ad will appear for you to see along with the http:// addresses for the ad, the HTML code to use the ad for blogs/websites, and BBCode so the ad can be posted to forums/boards.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Tips: </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">-Use images that are close-ups and grab your attention in a matter of seconds. (That’s all the time the viewer will have until the images changes over)</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">-Keep text to a minimum, your image will speak louder then words, if the viewer likes what they see they will click!</div>Jennifer Woodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14192928442790201659noreply@blogger.com0
