It just sort of went together when I started making it.

Beading Success
What role does jewelry-making play in your life?
I have started a business: AWEE, Art, Writing, and Everything Else, custom-made jewelry and teaching.
If you used jewelry-making as a way to bring in income, how are you selling yourself and your jewelry?
Friends and relatives and their friends and relatives, word of mouth. I go to bead shows. I give away inexpensive gifts at Halloween and Christmas and I give my closest friends and family members a free gift on their birthday once. Then they must buy anything else they want.
Any advice for aspiring jewelry-artists?
Get a mentor, or take lessons. |
