Valentine's Day is upon us.  I usually prefer experiences to gifts, but hand made gifts are something special!

These ideas are great for giving and for selling, if you sell your work, don't miss this holiday!



 
News from the Studio
Valentine's Day is often overlooked in my world, I'm recovering from Christmas and getting organized for the new year, and the next thing I know it's March!  If you sell your work, don't miss this holiday!  Valentine's day is one of the largest jewelry sales events all year.  Even a relaxed open studio or boutique can boost sales, so get to your studio and make some jewelry!

Thank you to everyone who attended the online mold making class this month, we had a wonderful time, great questions and fun projects.

Next week I'm off to teach in person in Phoenix Arizona.  If you are enrolled in that class, let me know!

Have a great week!
