Newspaper Article

Last week was a big week for me and for my jewelry business - there was an excellent article published in our daily newspaper about my jewelry business. here is a link to the article:

the photographer and reporter came to my home studio and stayed for well over an hour, asking questions most of the time. they watched, took photos and took notes as i went about my typical jewelry-making routine. for this article, the focus was on my chain maille jewelry and on my lampwork beads so that's what i was working on that day. i coiled and cut wire and wove the resulting links together so that they got a good idea of the process involved in making this type of jewelry.

for the lampwork, we had to go onto the back porch, which is where i keep my lampwork set-up. it was HOT so i only made one bead - a gravity bead, which is one of my favorites to make, so that worked out well!

the only thing was a really fun experience and the article was really fabulous. lots of pictures and quite lengthy. the best part was that every detail of my jewelry process was explained absolutelyl correctly.

anyway, this was a really great experience for me. it has given lots of exposure in the community and i plan to frame the article (assuming i can find a large enough frame!) and have it at all of my upcoming shows. i think it will make a nice, professional statement in my booth.
