I think you're right about jewelry styles changing. Right now, I see
a lot of edgy and bold designs. And layers using different mediums.
But, customer base has also changed for jewelry. I own some of
the new looks, but I prefer wearing whatever makes me feel good -
regardless of trends.Your dishes are very pretty - I bet you'd sell a lot of these at all kinds of
craft fairs. I love the "peacock black pearl" finish on your wall pouches.
They remind me of a ceremic/glass wall sconce in my bedroom. I wonder
how your's would look with a light inside it? I think they would make
very cool wall sconces.Kath, my best friend's also an artist, and she's had her work in all
kinds of stores...artsy, mainstream, and even Neiman's, but she
prefers to sell at art fairs as she gets to keep most of the money.
It's hard work, but she has a great time traveling all over the country,
and sometimes makes good money. She gets beat-up a lot by her family
because they don't think she has a "real" job,but I tell her that she is a
true success for following her dream - I'm very proud of her!Please do keep posting your beautiful work, Kath. It's called art therapy -
for me, much more therapeutic than talk therapy.
So, thank you.:) Gobbledygook - a sad, but lovely turkey.
