2024/05/29

When I started my business, I didn’t have much of a plan other than making jewelry and selling it so I could make more jewelry. I found Etsy and at that time it was easy enough to navigate. Everything felt “figure outable” to quote Marie Forleo and for the most part it was during those early months.Every time I would sell something I felt hopeful that I could really do this. But I really was flying by the seat of my pants. I remember looking at the Sundance Catalog, thinking “Ok, I can’t quite

2024/05/22

I love hearing how each jewelry artist approaches their craft and business. As someone slowly works on one piece as time and often doesn’t have any idea what I’ll tackle next, the idea of planning out a cohesive collection feels like… well… difficult. I’ve made collections before, but it’s not something that comes easily. Today, I’m talking with Danielle Cadef and in my mind, she has mastered the art of building a collection. Danielle is a rather prolific jewelry artist that I’ve admired for a while

Have you ever wondered how some makers seem to be able to do it all so damn well? They single handedly run what appears to be busy and successful businesses while creating high volumes of work, that their fans snatch up as soon as the pieces becomes available. They have a large, engaged Instagram following… and why wouldn’t they? They even do Instagram so well… consistently sharing their work, their lives, and their loves in the most authentic way that leaves you simply wanting more of everything

2024/05/08

I don’t know about you but one of the things I have really enjoyed in talking with other jewelry artists is hearing their journeys of how they found themselves bitten by the jewelry bug. For some, it began with early memories of dress up or rooting through a loved one’s collection of jewelry. For others, a series of event brought them unexpectedly to metal but the love for the craft was immediate. I love a good story and a good story teller, and Alix Bluh delivers as you will hear.

You know when I think back to my early days of making jewelry, I could give you the names of two people in particular I followed and admired. Jess Cote would be one of the two, though for years I only knew her by her business name, Rosy Revolver. Even in her early years, she had a signature style that clearly defined her brand. I’ve really enjoyed following Jess over the years. Her work is ever evolving, yet distinctively displays her finger prints as the artist. When I think of her workin recent

Catherine Chandler is a jewelry artist I’ve known from my EtsyMetal Team days. Even back then, Catherine was a ray of light in our rather tight knit group and she was always eager to support ohers. She is still that light within our Instagram jewelry community… and I’m sure if Catherine follows you, she has cheered you on from the sidelines many times. Sitting down with Catherine felt like re-connecting with an old friend, but this is really the first time we’ve had a true one on one conversation

2024/04/17

Today, I’m talking with a jewelry artist I’ve been rather obsessed with for a while now, Ann Chikahisa. Ann creates bold, yet wearable every day jewelry. Her talisman pieces are among my favorite and I’m excited to say that I now own one of Ann’s heart built talismans. But Ann’s jewelry is one reason I have been enthralled by her. She is doing something so many of us (including myself) have a hard to doing. Ann shows up on camera a lot,… and I mean a lot…showing up for her customers and her

Monday Minisode: What's Working - Pinterest

2024/04/15

I wanted to take some time during this Monday Minisode to share what is currently working for me in my business. I've been taking Jenna Kutcher's Pinterest Lab course and I wanted to share my stats after almost 30 days of making some small changes. Is this course all hype? Well, I'm not even half way through the course and I can say that the changes I have made are working quite well as promised. Here is the link to Jenna's Pinterest Lab course and again I have no affiliation with her and nothing

Today I’m sharing my conversation with Colin Miller, the owner of the Artisan’s Bench. I love hearing the stories of business owners and what called them to start their business. Colin shares his journey of working with his mother in her high quality, imported rug business to eventually taking the reins and forming what is now the Artisan’s Bench. The Artisan’s Bench carries work from several of the makers we have had here on the podcast. So many of these artists have worked with Colin for years

These days it feels like so many of us are trying to find new and meaningful ways to connect with our customers. One of the themes that continues to play out during my conversations with other makers is their frustration with Instagram and what to do next. Today I’m sitting down with Nicole Conklin and talking about her business, Arrok Jewelry. Nicole shares so many good things and during this interview she talks about how we need to understand that Pinterest is like a Google search engine that we

I just wanted to bring you an extra mini episode each week on Monday's to give you little something to think about as you start your week off. I want to dive a little deeper into some of the challenges we face as makers and give you some encouragement. And really this is as much for as it is for you. The "Big I" is definitely not as fun as the "Big O", right? And can I just tell you that I was noticing that impostery feeling welling up inside of me as I was getting ready to publish this episode.

I will forever be grateful to my sister-in-law, Sandra, who came over every Tuesday without fail to cook dinner and watch our children so I could attend an evening metalsmithing course at our local museum. This opportunity allowed me to not only have some time to myself as my husband was working long hours, but she gave me the gift of being able to follow my dreams of becoming an artist. And a couple years later, it was this gift that helped me through my grief and anxiety over her sudden death.

2024/03/20

When I began making jewelry 20+ years ago, sharing about your craft wasn't a thing unless you had peers close by willing to talk openly. There seemed to be an underlying fear that if you shared information, whether it was on a technique or a stone supplier, you may find this person doing similar work in the future. Does that happen? Well, I'm not going to lie... it's happened to me a handful of times and it really stung, especially since I believe in sharing. Thankfully with platforms like

I can certainly get caught up in the mind chatter telling me to be mindful that I need to make work that will pay the bills. We also talk about the artistic and emotional value of our work to our customers. Although we don't spend a lot of time on this topic, I really think it's worth paying attention to. About Nisa...

We spend countless hours in our studios and more behind the screen editing photos, answering emails, listing, and sharing our work. It can feel very solitary for even someone like me who absolutely loves my alone time. Yet I think it is worth the freedom to create businesses that work in our lives and the pleasure of doing something we truly love. Today, I’m speaking with my friend, Emily Webster of Mavens Jewelry.

Lucy takes us on her 35 year jewelry making journey from high school where she participated in two month-long intensive independent study jewelry classes to working in the fashion jewelry industry in Manhattan, and eventually finding herself living in the White Mountains of New Hampshire on a 350 acre farm

There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to selling our work and making a living as an artist. I think the more we have honest conversations and share our experiences, the more we can learn and feel supported. Just because you love what you do, doesn’t mean that making a living as an artist is all rainbows and butterflies. Making a living not only means charging enough to cover each and every expense that your business incurs, but that you are also financially prepared to make it through an
