The wrong image for making stacked dots has been inserted into Step 2.

This is the correct image. We do our best with every issue but occasionally human error does happen. I hope all our lampwork folk enjoy making these cheerful spring flowers.

Cheers Joan

Yes Jen, it will be sad without our Fashion Diva. We have been a team now for 12 months and had a lot of fun together. Heather was always been the leading light in the office with her vintage clothing and her natural ability to look stunning in what ever she chose to put together for a day in the office. I will certainly miss her support as will, I am sure, the editors for Out Door Photography and Black & White Photography. A multi-talented young woman, Heather looked after three magazines and always had a smile on her face despite all the questions that would bombard her daily...Heather who is? Heather where is? Heather would you please? Questions and requests all day - everyday!
I said goodbye to Heather two weeks ago and whilst we were having a drink we discussed her contribution to the magazine. I was delighted to know that she was still very keen to contribute to Making Jewellery. As Jen has said, we will not only have our Fashion Diva keeping us up to date with our Colour & Style pages, but when she has the time, Heather will also contribute feature articles on classes, workshops and jewellery exhibitions in London.
I feel excited for Heather, in her decision to head for the big city to make her mark in the world and pleased that Jen and I will still have an opportunity to catch up, (get into mischief) and enjoy time with - her bubbly self.

Warm regards
Joan

Well today is a sad day in the Making Jewellery office as the lovely Heather Gregory has left for London. We're all very sad to be losing her but wish her all the best in her new venture.

What am I going to do without my partner in crime? Who's going to point out when I've thrown hors d'oeuvres down my dry clean only top after one too many glasses of bubbly?! Or spend all afternoon slaving over the mood board? Happily she has agreed to keep bringing us all the latest fashions in Colour & Style so she will still be a part of the magazine but we will certainly miss seeing her every day.

However we do have a new editorial assistant joining the team so stay tuned as I'm sure she will be introducing herself very soon!....

On a different note, thank you to everyone who took part in the February bracelet competition in the forum, what a fantastic  range of designs! It's going to be very tough to judge but we will bring you the results very soon...

In the meantime why not take part in the next competition? Throughout March we want to see pictures of your earring creations, so get into the forum, post your pics and win some prizes!
