Taking the Plunge...

Well, now I've gone and done it - I've started a blog.  I've been selling my jewelry on Etsy for almost two years now, and I've had a Facebook page for my jewelry business for about a year now.  But all the BIG jewelry artists I follow have Blogs.  I've been tentative about starting one - for one thing, who REALLY wants to read what I have to write about?  Next, do I really have anything worth sharing in a blog?  And where will I find the time to blog?   I've been encouraged to do this by a lovely group of ladies I'm fortunate enough to know through Facebook, all beaders, jewelry designers and/or bead makers, and I've been inspired to start the blog by two of them who recently started their own blogs, Lesley Watt and Donna Martin Bradley. All that aside, HERE I AM! Will you listen?  I hope so.  One way or another, I'll ramble on here, show you some of my work, and hopefully meet some new folks in the world of jewelry design.

  2. You will be fine. You know, with this online world, people like to get to know the artist. If they can acutally meet you at a show, this is a way for them to see what makes you tick. do it as much or as little as you like! I think it looks great!

  4. Lol-Grace, if you read my first blog post you'll see I had exactly the same fears! In a couple of months it will be second nature, just be yourself. As for design, let it grow organically...add things, remove things...you'll know when it feels right and most of all have fun with it. Looking forward to reading your posts. Oh and I love the name too.

  5. Hey Grace, it's very nice to know that I've inspired someone! I think we all have the same fears, and as you'll see on my blog, I haven't written anything for awhile. lol So, we'll be in this together. I look forward to reading more from you. :)
