I switched it up this week and included Art Jewelry magazine's recent interview with Robert Dancik in the jewelry gems of the web, so I thought I'd post the Jewelry Gems of the Web links here on the Art Jewelry blog as well. I had the chance to interview a bunch of great artists at the Bead&Button Show in June 2008, so this interview with Robert is just one of the videos you'll see popping up on the BeadStyle, Bead&Button, and Art Jewelry web sites. We just put two new video interviews up on the BeadStyle site as well. In addition to a video with Melissa Cable, designer of the "Inspired by Riverstone" necklace, we posted interviews with Kerri Fuhr and Stacy Frost, whose beads were used in the alternate design versions of Melissa's necklace. So check them out too, once you've had a chance to visit the other "gems" for this week.
