Another contest!!
Here’s another contest you can enter! It’s the Mixed Media Jewelry Contest sponsored by Jatayu.The deadline for entries is fast approaching, so you’d better hurry!
Summer ‘06 – This contest sponsored by Jatayu challenges you to be innovative and to step out of what may be your comfort zone. Innovation is the key word here. Thus, if you rely on common, easily found beads, your entry may not be pushing the boundaries. Each entry must include wire of any type plus at least one other element from a category below. You may use elements from more than one category. You may submit only one entry and it can be a necklace, bracelet (bangle, cuff, or linked bracelet), or earrings. Or a crown, yes, I think we need more crowns for us common folks.
Found Objects (examples: keys, bolts, electronic parts, dice, etc.)
Resin and Plastics (examples: amber, copal, bake-a-lite)
Natural, Organic Elements (examples: pearls, shells, wood, metal)
Fiber (examples: yarn, woven cloth, string)
Deadline for entries – August 31st, 2006. Winners will be selected by mid-September.
Good luck!
Technorati tags: jewelry design, jewelry, metal clay, beading

Vocabulary word for the day!
I subscribe to a vocabulary word for the day via email. It never hurts to keep one’s vacabulary sharp, I always say…
Anyway, today’s word is terrific! Here it is:
tarantism - An uncontrollable urge to dance.
I have several friends for whom tarantism is a regular event. (you know who you are!) 
Great word!!
