*ripitupgenki


Edit:
Thank you for the quick response and all the encouragement. We now have 2 new Admin. Please welcome ~MooU22 & *CrysallisCreations! :clap: :w00t: They will introduce themselves shortly I'm sure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, I have news from Bunsy. She appologizes to everyone for not being on. Apparently she has some premature contractions at 23 weeks along and was in the hospital for a month and is still on bed rest at home now. She's at 29 weeks along now and Everythign seems to have calmed back down again. She also says the club now belongs to me, she is stepping down and is planning to delete her account from DA. I don't know if she will be back or not but I do have her email now so I will keep in contact with her. Anythign I hear I will let you all know about.

Other then that please welcome one new member today! :clap:

Oh, and I am sending a poll out asking if you all want another contest, if so then please suggest themes. I will be changing the format slightly, using the poll feature for voting but I plan to still have a panel of judges.


:bulletred: March 28th :bulletred:
*ripitupgenki


Well After hours of work and a few moments of wanting to kill DA for random matience issues I finally have everything up to date again. My minor headache has grown into a migrain now because of it too.
Alright please welcome 17 more members and I more affilaite, =BeautyClub :clap: *leaves to pass out and sleep*



:bulletred: March 27th :bulletred:
*ripitupgenki


Alright, I am sure you are all wondering what is going on with the club. Well at the moment I am the only one monitoring this club. I haven't done much with my own account let along this one in awhile because of work.
I know ~BlackCatsAngel is struggling just to get on to her own account, and though I have asked her help I haven't seen her out here doing anything yet. ~BunsY seems to be missing completely I haven't her a word from her in a few months now. I still have 28 messages to go through most of which are submissions and 17 more people to add to the club. I will be working on it for awhile tommorrow but I may not get caught up.
Please do try to be patient, I did not expect to be running this alone but as a team. I won't abandon you but I do need your help to get caught up. One way you can help is to limit your submissions. they take the most time of all. PLease don't submit more thne once a month for right now. Atleast till I can get things back up to where they need to be and can keep it there. I have had a few people submitting something 3 or more times a month. Its really hard to get to those who haven't had submissions up in say 2 months with people submitting that often. If there are wrong links I am sorry I will fix those in time. *sigh* Thank you for your patience and any help you have to offer.

:bulletgreen: :iconnorablansett: is hosting a "Where's Spring?!" contest: [link] The deadline is May 1st.








:iconbunsy: ~ I've been making jewelries of every sort for awhile, and just started making wire jewelry. I noticed there were no clubs on DA for jewelries (or, that I know of anyway!!), and thought that an area to showcase deviants artisan jewelry might be a cool idea!
Edit: Well, I've found ~uniquejewels-club and *ArtisanCraft since, but I still think having our own club is cool :D

:iconblackcatsangel: ~ I've been making jewelry for about a year and a half now, and what started as a hobby, became a passion and then a business that I've named BlackCatsAngel Designs. I love making new and beautiful pieces and love seeing all the creativity on sites like deviantArt. I'm proud to be a fellow admin for the club and want to let you all know that if there's anything I can do to help you with your own jewelry or photographing jewelry, I would be happy to lend a hand :D

I look forward to seeing your works!
Love and light,
Melani


:iconripitupgenki: ~ My names Janel, yes you can call me that out here, I am a 21 yr old college student who does art as a hobby. I love making jewelry (rather obvious huh?), but I also draw quite a bit so you will see my account having traditional, artisan, and digital art depending on my mood. I have been making jewelry for about 5 years now. I love learning about gemstones & minerals and I do collect rocks ^^; Along with attending Gem & Mineral shows when I can. I'm a computer programming major so if you would like any information about programming CSS or HTML or even for programming let me know I will be glad to help you. I would also be glad to help anyone looking for a gem or jewelry show, locate one in thier area. Feel free to contact me anytime you have questions or concerns. It’s great to meet you all and be able to help you out! :D


:iconcrysalliscreations:

Hi all! I am happy to be on board. :)

I am Deb @ Crysallis, I am definitely a jewelry lover, though my own skill is limited to beads and wire at this point, with occassional combination of cab with wire... :P

It'll take me some time to get use to this, so please be patient with me! Meanwhile, looking forward to meeting you!! :)



:iconmoou22: ~ Hello! My name is Stephanie, 23, and I'm excited to be helping out here! I love crafts, especially jewelry, and I can't wait to see what great stuff everyone sends in!

Nice to meet everyone! :salute:

How to join
You do NOT have to be a jewelry crafter to join... you just need to love them! :D

:bulletpurple: :+devwatch: the club, and we'll watch you back! :D
:bulletpurple: Link us in your journal, your signature, anywhere! :D


How to get your deviations posted
Want to contribute to our member gallery and get some exposure for your jewelries?

:bulletpurple: You must be a member!
:bulletpurple: Send us a note with the link to your deviation with Member Gallery in the title. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Improperly labeled notes may result in delays for you, and in confusion for us... :no:
:bulletpurple: We only keep one work per member at a time in the gallery, so please, send only one link. If you send more than one link, we will simply take the first one. Of course, you can change your posted deviation at any time by sending us a new note. :)
:bulletpurple: We will only accept one view (or image - it can have more than one view if it's on one image) per piece.

Depending on the amount of notes that are received, it may take a few days for your deviation to appear in the gallery... Never fear! It will be posted :)


How to post your jewelry shop
Would like some advertizing for your shop in a context where everyone absolutely loves jewelries?

:bulletpurple: You must be a member to warrant exposure for your shop. If at some point we find that you o longer watch the club (and thus are not a member anymore), we will take your link down. It is, after all, a Member's Shop section ;P
:bulletpurple: Send us a note titled Member's Shop with the link to your shop, and a short 1-2 sentence description. If you don't have a description, we will post your link anyway, but you will likely get less visibility.
:bulletpurple: The shop should be related to jewelry and/or jewelry making.


How to become affiliates
You do NOT have to be a jewelry crafter club for us to be affiliated... you just need to love them! :D (And want affiliates)

:bulletpurple: Send us a note with Affiliate in the title.
:bulletpurple: Link us your journal, and we'll link you back!

I don't know if this is the right place for this question, but I'm gonna try anyway. I've been looking for good online places to buy gemstones(for settings), and havn't really found a lot of places. So if anyone knows a good place, please send me a note.
