Featured Artist Sweepstakes...passing the word

There's a supply website out there...House of Gems...that's looking for a few good featured artists:

Do you do a happy dance when you come across a gemstone you don't already own?
Do you find that every conversation you have comes back to your latest jewelry project?
Do you love to help other people on their projects by giving tips or showing them step-by-step how to do things?

If you answered to yes to any of these questions, we may have the perfect opportunity for you. If you answered yes to all three, then consider this destiny. House of Gems is looking for Featured Artists to spotlight and promote on our website. In addition to the opportunity to present yourself as an artist, you will also generate traffic to your personal blog, Etsy store or social media profile.

Artists may also be given opportunities to test new products, receive additional discounts and be the first to be informed of new releases.
