We released the first B3 project (“Scale Barrette”) from chainmaille designer Omni Mee last week and have turned our focus to a long-anticipated tutorial for Lisa Smeltzer’s epic “Dragon Eye Pendant” (shown left). Beginning to work with more new designers is a fun new adventure for B3. We are also continuing relationships with successful B3 projects designers and ambassadors like Kat Wisniewski and Vanessa Walilko (both of whom are always busy creating something epic-ly awesome on their own!)
Long-time relationships and new partnerships alike, working with these folks is an honor for B3. We feel so lucky that such talented folks are willing to share their ideas, not only with our business but with our customers. It really takes a special artist to be willing to teach others and encourage them to grow using their designs as stepping stones.
These designs are just the beginning, however. We have been busy putting everything into place to start working with more and more designers each year. “Who are these designers?” you might ask. Well, they could be you!
B3 project proposals are accepted on an ongoing basis. Many of you have already sent us your initial ideas via email (don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you!). We now have a more thorough and official submission form. Whether you’re just learning about this program or you have already sent us an email with ideas, we encourage you to look over our project submission form and consider completing it for your project pitch. We will begin reviewing the submissions more closely and contacting potential designers for 2013 project releases in the Spring and Summer.
Me also here in Finland.Best wishes to You,Rebecca!
