Default Call for: Frit Beads--Frit Book 2nd edition

I'm working on the second edition of my "Frit Secrets" book, originally published in 2008. This second edition book, due for release this June 2010 is somewhat condensed (fewer pages to meet a lower retail price point), with condensed topics, yet expanded in details of technique and different ways of working with frit. I have about 10 photo openings and need some additional beads.

Call for entries: I am looking for frit beads to purchase, I will take my own photos.

Frit beads (or single focals, or small sculptures) I'm looking for are:
--soda lime, soft glass (not boroscilicate)
--interesting and unique designs, patterns or technique
--bright colors, vs muted colors
--they can be made from any frit, or frit blend (not just my brand)



If you currently have for sale, listed beads which incorporate frit, on Etsy, eBay or a personal website that you think I should see, or know of someone with unusual frit beads that I should take a look at, please send me a link via pm or email: val@valcox.com

Thank you! Val

If I purchase, photograph and use your bead image in my book, I will check with you again for permission to use your bead and will caption my photo with your first and last name as the artist, otherwise, no further compensation will be exchanged or implied.

(I'm on a tight deadline and will be making all purchases within the next 7-10 days. eBay items requiring bidding-and-waiting may be passed over depending on time frame. Buy it now's or Etsy purchases will likely be first choices)

Let me know if you have any interest...

Thanks Nikki for the tip, I found an example I was needing!

Thanks for those who've emailed me links...I'm very pleased with what I've been able to purchase so far, examples that I never would have found on a search through etsy or ebay!

I have some good pieces so far, thanks to those who have contacted me.

...I'm still needing something 'blue'. Texture, a plus. Existing, ready to view/sell required (I don't have time for a custom order). Thanks! Val

thanks Nikki, that's wonderful, I just got your email/photo!

I'm all set now, thanks to those who replied and for the gorgeous beads I've received so far. I'm looking forward to photographing them all in the next days, and getting this book to press!

Val
