B3′s Maillers’ Choice Kit continues to be a hit! This month you’ll customize yet another one-time only kit for our Shaggy Loops necklace project – inspired by Rebeca Mojica’s “Fringe” collection of finished jewelry.

For March, you’ll be customizing a one-time-only kit for a chunky Shaggy Loops Necklace, inspired by Rebeca’s new Fringe Collection of jewelry. Just like last month’s Shaggy Scales Earrings kit, this kit is being created especially for “Maillers’ Choice” and is not regularly available on our website.

Voting for the Maillers’ Choice kit starts today and closes on the 10th. Your top-voted combination will be made into kits and released on our website on the 15th.

We had such an overwhelmingly positive response to the 12-Hour Sale last month that we will again release the Maillers’ Choice kit for a 12 hour period – no limit on the number! Make sure you’re on our mailing list to receive updates on when exactly the kit will be released so you don’t miss you chance to buy.

Introducing CHAINED!

I am honored and beyond thrilled to have my Snowflakes project featured on the cover of the December/January 2011 issue of Step by Step Wire Jewelry Magazine.  It’s my first solo magazine cover! (I literally jumped up and down when I saw it!) The issue just hit newsstands, and yes, even though we don’t typically carry magazines, we do have a stash of issues available

for our customers.

Earlier this year, my Crystal Ring Byzantine bracelet was featured on the cover of Wirework 2010. Having two covers in a single year … well, let’s just say that I am incredibly proud and happy with what I’ve accomplished. And of course, I thank all of you guys for continuing to inspire me to create and develop new designs.

We’ll have kits available for the Snowflakes projects soon, so stay tuned!

It’s been a few months since Wirework 2010 hit the shelves–and what a whirlwind it’s been. Most of you know that my Crystal Ring Byzantine bracelet was featured on the cover. Obviously, I was thrilled…and I also had no idea how many orders & emails it would bring. January was a busier month for us than December, which is pretty much unheard of in the retail world! The emails keep coming in, and I’m doing my best to answer each and every one of them. Still have a few more days worth of emails to catch up, but I will! It’s so exciting to hear how thrilled customers all over the world are with the magazine and the various projects:

” I have made every pattern in the book and am looking at every artist in the magazine and man do you guys rock!!! I particularly loved the crystal byzantine bracelet that you had in the issue I got. I have made several now and have friends asking for their own (heavenly) ”

” Your bracelet gave me so much inspiration! Thank you for your article and the wonderful instructions!”

“I made one of these, and I’ve gotten more compliments on it, than any other piece of jewelry I’ve made!”

On the other hand, though, I must admit it was frustrating for us—and for you too, I’m sure—that we kept running out of stock of our kits. We’ve worked hard to rope in some extra temporary help, and have some very promising candidates for permanent employment, so we should be back on track in no time!

If you haven’t yet gotten your copy of Wirework, do so soon, as the magazine will only be on sale through mid-April.  (We’ve got a few copies for sale on the same page as the kits.) If you’ve already purchased a copy, please write a review so the editors know what you think.  And now, I’m going to get back to answering emails!
