Call for Artist
Call for Artists
Lori Robbins and Kimberly Scott are in the beginning stages of a series of books. The first being... " A guide to hot glass colors and techniques. The study of Purples and Pinks ". This is the latest addition to the Lori Robbins' library of Hot Glass reference books. In this book Lori and Kimberly will focus there attention on the use of Purples and Pinks in all glass COEs. A portion of the book will be dedicated to debunking the myths, providing tips and giving important working information for the use of Purples and Pinks. The rest of the book is focused on YOU!
Lori and Kimberly are pleased to offer an opportunity to get your work in Purples and Pinks published!! What a great opportunity to show case your work and to share your glass knowledge with other artist. If accepted into the book, your very own Tutorial of your work will be spotlighted in full color!
Applying will take place in stages:
*Email Kim@HeavenlyFire.com a .jpg of your work in Purples and/or Pinks
*Send only unedited photographs
*Send no more than two at first
*The deadline for wave 1 is May 31st 2006
Lori and Kimberly will notify you if you are accepted into the book and give you further instructions. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept everyone for an article as some may be repeated. If not chosen you will receive a mention with a link of your website or your email address in the final publication in appreciation for your effort.
A few things to keep in mind:
*ALL types of glass work are acceptable in ANY COE. This includes fusing, furnace work and perhaps something we haven't thought of, surprise us.
*The glass that you choose should be currently and normally available for sale.
*Techniques can range from beginner to advanced.
*Keep in mind, you are going to want to send the best examples of your work, this is a public project for the whole world to see.
*Your work will be used in Tutorial format, please do not share any techniques that you don't want published to the masses.
Please email Kim@HeavenlyFire.com or FlaLadyBird@Yahoo.com if you have any questions.
We look forward to see your fabulous work!

Sounds really cool. Purple is my favorite. Can you give more information on photo formatting (IE size) you are looking for.

Thank for the question and interest Lara!
Right now there aren't any picture requirements, just try to send .jpg. Size doesn't matter either.
This first wave in the submission process is to narrow down to the final tutorials.

I was going to add something very important to this thread but I got distracted by a purple sumo-hippo butt dancing in my face.
OMG so funny!
Oh I remember. Is anyone playing with Kuglar colors? Just asking because I picked on a rod last night that is so much more intense and more behaves than Rubino. If you force me I will find out the number.

Oh Wow!! Kim and Lori - I'm so excited! Ya know, I've always envied the artists who can list the magazines and books (or even tv shows, in some cases) they've been featured in. Never having been published myself, I wonder how it feels. Is it a validation? Do you finally feel you've "arrived" as an artist once you see your work and your name in print?
I can't wait to send in my submission! Crossing fingers and toes - I wanna be published!!!

I am So excited for Kim and Lori, and it's looks like it will be a wonderful book. What a beautiful thing to see will be a book full of just pink and purple beads! As far as colors go it seems people have the most questions about Pinks and Purples.
Off to the torch to see what I can come up with. What fun!

Question: With the pictures we send in now, if we are accepted, will you be using that picture or will we be able to make another bead and send in a better picture? Some of my coolest purple beads are beads I sold 1-2 years ago and the pictures aren't that great.

Good question Lara! Yes, if you are accepted, you can create your tutorial from any bead that you choose. It doesn't have to be the bead that you submitted for the first wave.

This sounds great! I am wondering if the beads have to be just pink and purple, or can there be other colors as well?

Question.
Seeing as this is a book and will be sold for a profit, will there be royalties for those whose tutorials are published? It seems to me that the hard work developing techniques, writing articles, and photographing processes should be rewarded. I am always a bit leery of giving anything away when others are profiting from it. Perhaps profits could be donated to a good charity?

Hey Trey,
Thank you very much for your concerns, we totally understand.
We believe that the fact that we aren't charging a fee for entry into the book, otherwise known as a publishing, advertising or submission fee should be a consideration as well. We plan on keeping the industry standard of two free books for each person making it into the article/tutorial section. There are other things to be taken into consideration as well.
There is an enormous financial burden when undertaking a project of this magnitude: printing costs, hiring of professional photographers, etc... And truth be told, no matter how well planned a project may be - there is always some unforseen problems that drive the "out of pocket" costs up. We aren't asking, expecting or even wanting the artist community to help us shoulder the fiscal responsibility. It's our necks alone we are risking. Other than the perks already discussed, the international exposure garnered from being published is priceless.
As for your personal efforts, you are more than welcome to make a submission using the guidelines in the first post, if you so desire.

Hmmm...I'm gonna play devil's advocate here for a sec. You know there's no guarantee that they're going to sell every single copy they have printed (although I am extremely hopeful that they will!! ). Just because you publish a book doesn't make you a millionaire a la Steven King.
My personal opinion is - if they're willing to take the risk then I think they should be able to reap the reward. I also think that if you aren't comfortable sharing your secrets for free - then don't. No one will ever know if you chose not to enter or just weren't selected!
