The Art and Design of Metal Clay Jewelry and More 2009 published by Holly Gage of Gage Designs is now available. The beautiful 8 1/2 x 11 (11 x 17 - open), 28 page calendar features fine silver jewelry and objects from today's most innovative Art Clay and PMC jewelry artists. Each page beautifully illustrates the diversity, artistry and pure magic of transforming a moldable metal into fine jewelry. You can expect to see pieces studded with gems and precious stones, embellished with gold and rich textures, and accented with the touch of the artisan’s hand.

Throughout the calendar over 35 jewelry conferences and competition deadlines are highlighted to encourage the jewelry artist to enhance their education and step out and show what the metal clay community has accomplished in their short 10+ year history.

I am seeking images to feature in our next annual calendar, The Art and Design of Metal Clay Jewelry and More 2010. All jewelry forms - necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, brooches, and others will be considered. Unique and diverse design styles and techniques are desired. Metal Clay is the predominant material, but other media - resign, gems, metals, enamel, and more may be incorporated into the design. High digital images will be accepted by mail or e-mail:
