It's been a while since my first two posts. Sadly, not much has changed. I've been collecting design and techniques reference material, and bought some spiffy new stuff to incorporate into jewelry. I'm also in the process of inventorying the materials that's been sitting around in boxes since I first started making jewelry. A lot of it is not of the quality I want to concentrate on now. I'll probably end up putting some of it up for sale on Etsy or eBay.
I've been doing some brainstorming on different marketing outlets once I start producing jewelry on a regular basis. One thing I'd like to try is a line of bracelets and necklaces in school colors with charms or special beads for favorite sports and activities. They could also be customized with the student's name or initials. Even though I live in a small city, we have junior high and high schools that sponsor a lot of activities. I'm working on a plan to sell these through sports teams and clubs with a portion of the profits being donated back to the schools to support their programs.
Since my last post I've been spending most of my "leisure" time on my other favorite pasttime -- model horses. There is a show coming up in a couple of weeks, and I've been working on some new entries, whittling down my entry list so I'm not spread too thin on show day, and naming new models that haven't been shown yet. I'm looking forward to the show. The last one I attended was in April.
Time to get back to my real job now. Darn it. I'm having a hard time getting motivated; so many ideas are floating around in my head -- and none of them the least bit relevant to "work!"
