It appears that posts / events show up differently on a PC vs a mobile device... Here are the details for the Cabochon Giveaway, for those who cannot access the event from their device.... Please e-mail us your information - that is how you enter the contest. Indigo Turtle Art is launching a new product line ~ Contemporary Porcelain Cabochons ~ perfect for your wire/metal/PMC/bead work or mixed media projects. To kick off this new product line, obtain design feedback and additional visibility ~ we are giving away 20 cabochons to 20 lucky artisans who incorporate cabochons into their work. The contest is limited to artisans within the United States, unless you are willing to pay for the additional postage to ship the free cabochon to your foreign address.

We are looking for prolific artisans who have an avid following of customers:
• Artisans who actively sell their finished products through brick & mortar locations, online venues and/or art shows
• Artisans who actively promote their finished pieces on their own websites and/or blog which receive steady traffic, and/or a well followed Facebook business/fan page
• Artisans who actively post their items in groups on Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo, etc
• Additional promoting on actively followed pages on Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, etc. will improve your chances of winning

By entering you agree that if you are chosen to receive a free cabochon:
• You will give us feed back on the cabochon as it pertains to usability in your designs including any changes, you as a designer, would like to see made to future pieces
* What changes & why (ie: size, shape, thickness, colors, surface design, price/value, etc.).
* We would appreciate receiving the design feed back as soon as possible so we may incorporate any necessary changes into the next group of pieces
* You will create a finished item using the cabochon we mail you
* We hope that you will be excited to try the cabochon in one of your designs and can create a finished piece within the next few months.

Once the design is finished, you agree to:
• Promote the finished item on your web based venues giving us credit for the cabochon, linking back to our Facebook page (when allowed) in each promotion
• Provide us with a digital file of a promotional quality photo and permission to use it in our promotions

We in turn will give you credit for the finished design & link back to a site of your choosing, when using the photo of your finished piece in our promotions.

If you are interested in being considered for one of the free cabochons:
• Please LIKE our Facebook page and comment below that you are entering
• Then e-mail your information to indigoturtleart@hotmail.com
• Please include:
* your art medium(s) of choice
* physical or web addresses for a few primary brick & mortar locations who have your work
