Where does your inspiration for space-like jewelry come from?<\/div>\n

I suppose it is in releasing my need to control a piece to the universe. I find beauty in creating these pieces comes when they find a home and very often I’m surprised by the home (i.e. from sixteen year olds<\/span> to sixty year olds<\/span> from all walks of life and styles!)<\/em><\/div>\n
What do you find most challenging about balancing the creative work with having a successful business?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The business end of things takes up so much of your time so the challenge is to set aside time for each aspect of the creation and business process. I believe this is one of the hardest jobs out there. You not only must conceive of an interesting idea, you have to engineer and plan the creation, find and order supplies, determine the cost and feasibility it will sell, determine your wholesale and retail prices, manage a shop and\/or store, enter shows, do photography, graphic design, sales, accounting, collections, PR and marketing, shipping, etc. you name it!Never a dull moment. Must be a great “multi-tasker<\/span>” !<\/em><\/div>\n
What advice do you have for fledgling jewelry designers?<\/div>\n
Don’t give up.Take your designs to the public as often as possible to see what sells, what the public thinks of the work, how it hangs, the size, price, etc.<\/em><\/div>\n
