Call for Images -- Eye Candy: The Member showcase

We are seeking images of your glasswork to include in a new feature in The Glass Bead.

In the coming year, we will be highlighting the work of ISGB members on a special page featuring the best images of new and innovative work we receive.

To be included, the images must include glass beads handmade by ISGB members. They may include single beads, bead sets, jewelry, or any other object that incorporates hand-made glass beads by ISGB members.

Please send us digital images of your newest work, your best work, or your most innovative work. We would like to have more beautiful images for readers of The Glass Bead to wonder over and be inspired by!

Please include your name, the city and state where you live, the year the work was created, and any photography credit along with each image you submit. Also, please include a brief description of how the work was made. You might include a description of the materials and methods, the size, your goals for the piece, or the source of inspiration.

If you send an image of an item that is the result of a collaboration, such as a piece of jewelry that incorporates other beadmakers' work, please include the names of everyone involved in creating the piece whenever possible.

How images will be chosen for print

We regret that we will not be able to print all of the images we receive. Images will be selected based on the quality of the digital image, the presentation of new or innovative work, and the harmony of the selected images together on the page. We will also make a strong effort to present a wide variety of work by different individuals over time.

The Glass Bead reserves the right to edit images as needed for size and print quality, and to edit the descriptive information as needed. Images may also be retained for printing at a later date, and may appear in an Eye Candy display page on the ISGB Web site in future. By submitting your images to ISGB, you grant permission to use selected images in other ISGB publications and print venues chosen by the ISGB

Please only submit images of your work if you agree to these conditions!
