Meet Cover Artist Perianne Tucker!
I am 15, and in the ninth grade. I am in ballet, but also participate in the
sports, tennis and wrestling, at my school. I like to read books, and scrap book
with my mom. I also enjoy an occasional insulator hunt with my dad. He has
thousands in his collections and we go to France and Italy to look for more. I
don't personally collect insulators but I like going to the shows and reading
the Crown Jewels to look at the pretty ones. My dad collects the glass ones
mostly. I have lived in Germany for 7 years. But this summer we are moving back
to the states, to Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri.

We really received some great entries for the cover. Thank you to all the
kids that had fun participating in this contest. Each entrant will be sent an
insulator for their efforts. We have chosen 4 entries to be on the covers of
Crown Jewels. They will be featured over the next few months. We were impressed
by the originality of the kids' work.
This month we are featuring Perianne's entry. She submitted a mosaic of small
pieces of insulator glass from glossy photographs and then trimmed it into the
shape of a signal.
September, we are featuring a pen and ink that is accented with brightly
colored color pencils by Christina Jung.
October, is a colored pencil entry by Colin Powell.
November is by Colin IsseI. He sent in a drawing that the concept will be
photographically enhanced.
