On December 7th from 11 a.m. until I'm too overstimulated to go on, I'll be at the 2007 One Of A Kind Show and Sale at the Merchandise Mart in Chicago with Art Jewelry editors Jill Erickson and Addie Kidd. The coolest thing about the show — I get to do some holiday shopping! I try to give thoughtful gifts (who wants more stuff they don't like or need) and I especially enjoy finding things for people that they can't get at big-box stores. I'm looking forward to picking out some of the coolest things (especially jewelry) that more than 400 juried artists dreamed up. The show runs from Dec. 6 to Dec. 9, and 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales on Thursday (the 6th) will go to Children's Memorial Hospital — what a good way to see some innovative jewelry, get some shopping done, and make a difference at the same time!
About Kristin Sutter
I started working on Art Jewelry as the copy editor in April 2005. (At the same time, I was also the copy editor for Art Jewelry's sister publications, BeadStyle and Bead&Button.) So, I've spent more than two years learning all I could about jewelry and Art Jewelry's readers. My job was to make sure the magazines were easy to understand when they got into your hands. That's still my job now that I'm working solely for Art Jewelry, but now I'll also be doing some writing and, well, whatever Hazel needs me to do, really. I'm excited to have new challenges, to have fun trying out ideas, to work with this staff (such cool people!), and to be able to make this your favorite magazine!
