It’s New Year’s Day, do you know where you muse is?
I hope I can help you find her this year.
So what is Echo Creative Club? I’m looking for experienced jewelry designers to use my art beads and pendants for FREE. I will be concentrating on my Peeled Paint art beads and Gin Blossoms for now.
What does the name, Echo Creative mean? Echo is something you put out there and it comes back. I put my beads out there and they come back in a creative design from you.
Guidelines:
Must have a blog of two years or more.
Experienced jewelry designers, preferably published in a magazine, but not required.
You’re required to design something by the 25th (ie, January 25 of this month) of that month and post on your blog. This is not optional!
You will post your Echo Creative Club piece in our Flickr Group each month.
I will pay first class shipping charges, but if you want them sent priority mail or express, shipping charges are on you. International applicants will have to pay All shipping charges.
I will give you a choice, providing there is one of what I’m offering for that month. So lots of choices, peeled paint or gin blossom? What color?
This post will become a tab at the top of my blog so I can keep you informed about who is participating each month. You can even choose your own month(s). All twelve or just one, two, three…
If I have an overwhelming response to this club I will choose more than one designer per month. Keeping my fingers crossed.
You will be given more information by email when you sign up.
BONUS: If you happen to submit your design to a magazine and it gets published in 2012, you will receive a $50 gift certificate to my website.
Who wants to take the first slot for January? Will it be you? You can contact me by email if you’re interested, NOT through this post.
I’m SO EXCITED about this I just want to pee my pants and shout it from the roof top.
This may not be for you, but if you know someone who might be interested, PLEASE, send them my way.
Thank you,
jeannie

Hey, hey, I heard someone call my name! :-) If it is ok for you to take the risk and send to Europe (as the Art Journal is still MIA).
Oh yes, and gin blossom in any kind of blue, if it is me in January. :-)
If you don’t mind paying shipping costs and can have it posted by January 25th, you can have the first slot in January. Let me know by email ASAP.
Jeannie – I can’t wait to see a years worth of new designers using your beads.
Good Luck Dagmar… can’t wait to see what you create!
ME ME!
Just posted on Twitter–hope you find lots of good folks! Good luck, everyone!
I contacted you via email as instructed (contact me, but not on this post) and would love to participate. I would so love to find my muse this year,….any month is fine w/me.
Cheers,
~Shel~
I would love to try!
Somehow I missed this in my blog hiatus. I think that it is a fabulous idea. I can’t wait to see what your participants do! It is so gratifying to see what others do with the pieces of you that you give to them. Maybe some month down the road a bit I can play along.
Enjoy the day!
