OMG. A former co-worker and now Facebook friend bought a bracelet yesterday. Thank you, Jen! I'm so happy for her that she'll get a piece that is truly lovely and since I know her personally, I know it will look smashing on her. Here it is! The funny thing is, that design has worked for me before. I've sold one almost exactly like it a few years ago from my Etsy shop . It's interesting that repeat-ability is something that a business really needs. Even a handmade business where no two things are completely identical. Designs that work are designs that work. So after spending an hour or so looking over my books, I remembered a few other pieces that sold well in the past and I'll be getting down to the bench! But first I have to print a label and ship a package to my friend. Sweet.
The world of artisan jewelry is a highly crowded one. This blog is a window on that world, my process and the things I've learned trying to run a small, handmade business on the internet.
