Oh yeah, like it was going to get any easier...

Eight stalwart artists have shone the brightest throughout this campaign. Now it is time for these eight to strengthen their resolve, steel their nerves and begin what will be their toughest challenge: the Round 4 Theme Item, affectionately known as "The Mess."

The Theme Item consists of five (5) feet of ball chain (which all must be used), one (1) brass flower, one (1) cast fitter, one (1) clear jewel, two (2) red jewels, one (1) blue jewel, and four (4) pieces of Job Glass. All of the items must be used in the final project.

When the projects are finished and our contestants have had a chance to be thankful that they don't have to look at this Theme Item again, we'll gather up the judges for Round 4 and YOU to cast your judgment on these projects. Judging will run from June 28 - July 4.

Your votes will help determine which contestants advance to Round 5 for the showdown at Glass Visions 2002.
