We have about 750 sales on our online Etsy store right now. I have to say, that I never expected to be this successful as a jewelry designer. I also have to say that it is a dream come true, and that I am extremely happy with my day to day life of contemplating creations, making them reality, and then sharing them with the world.
I am so thankful that we live in a world that respects art. There is so much great inspirational art out there, and it really is a needed part of culture. I hope that I can only contribute to this collective idea by helping other people express themselves through my jewelry.
Even more than that, I am thankful for all of the inspiration I receive from other artistic minds on a day to day Basis. Maybe its just that with busy lives in a world with a lot of resistance, its difficult to find the time for many creative people to make the things that they think about. It makes me so happy to dedicate such a huge piece of my life to bringing ideas to light for people. So many good ideas, so little time.
The custom orders are really what makes it worth it, because afterall, without any input I would surely come to what Neicosknots calls a "hempers block". Sucessful art is not an expression of a single persons idea, but rather an expression of a collective thought or feeling.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us through patronage, commentary, discussion, honesty, and friendship.
