Win a Torch Contest! Celebrate with FlameTree Glass

I copied this straight from FlameTree Glass's website, www.flametreeglass.com  This is a wonderful half day of celebration and a really nice glass sale.  FlameTree is my hometown glass studio and I think they are great - with advice, customer service and just being really great folks.

Hope you can join them on June 23rd and if not, perhaps grab some of the great deals and enter their contest.  

And by the way, I am not a celebrity.  They were just being kind and I am honored to have been asked to help judge the contest.  And I'm afraid no bribes this time.  I will be scrupulously careful to do my job!

Read on!

Okay, now you have the scoop, get out there and start creating. Often folks think they don't have a good enough chance, but you do. Once you submit, rally your friends and family to vote for you. Where else do you get a chance like this to win a new torch? Yikes, I'd love a new Scorpion. I'm not participating this year, but I really hope one of my blog readers wins. Now one more hint...make sure your photography is great. Voters only see what you show them, so give them your best shot...literally.

And the Vampire pictured above was my entry the first year FlameTree had this contest...I think 4 or 5 years ago. He took second place and won a Bobcat Torch for me.

Now I want to see what you can do!

Glass Olympic Spring Fling Contest- Lots of FUN!

Here's something fun for you to do. Mary "Moth" Lockwood, who makes wonderful beads, is hosting a Glass Olympic Spring Fling.

She is inviting glass artists of all experience to submit up to 3 bead photos by April Fool's Day, April 1, 2009 in the various categories. There will be peer voting, Mary's input and all kinds of factors to decide upon the winners.

The theme is "Spring Fling" which is any interpretation of iconic Spring subjects. You do not need to make a new bead for this. It can be one already existing.

Visit Mary's website for the complete rules and how to upload your photos, etc.

Just from the beads I've seen already, it's going to be a tough competition, but so much eye candy in one place. And while you're there, stop by her gallery and shop too. Her tutorials and beads are wonderful. Oh, and I just found her FREE tutorials too. Here they are.
My entry is complete. I'll be blogging about it at a later date. (after I photograph it!)

See you tomorrow.
