Thanks for stopping by! Just checked out ...Hi Erin<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by! Just checked out who you are and recognise both your name and your work so am feeling mildly honoured :o)<br /><br />Pricing IS an iffy one. I do admit to not always making what I would <i>like</i> to be making as a result of it. I have 'play' jewellery time - which gets the hours and the intricacies and frequently never goes on sale (mainly because I'm a new-technique junkie - I like trying new things but that doesn't mean I'll deem new things good enough to sell) and then I have retail jewellery which ranges from mass-produced, nothing-to-do-with-me through to medium effort - bout 3 hours make time on a repeatable piece is my maximum (takes longer to design (usually about an extra hour or two) - so I'll only aim at something that length for resale if I can make multiples - 3 of something tends to be my minimum).<br /><br />Occasionally I have self doubt about my methods and my chosen products for the <i>making a living</i> part of my work but it really does come down to pragmatism given the markets I can effectively reach with my skillset. I don't rule out what I'd term 'artistic jewellery' as something I can and will do - I just save it for magazines, competitions and 'design ideas' work I do for other companies for the most part.<br /><br />Gosh, I appear to have rambled for far longer than expected...! I'm quite bad for that ^_^. Again, thanks for stopping by :o)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616504608777296661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427147468181367880.post-41388864985969962282011-04-21T17:57:33.004+01:002011-04-21T17:57:33.004+01:00Dear Miss Stephie-

I had to come and find you after reading your comment on the ABS post about pricing, as I totally agree with you! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject!<br /><br />I follow a lot of the same blogs that you do. Melanie and Jennifer are actually treasured friends of mine. And while their esthetics are totally different (and each reflective of their personalities too!) they are delightful people with hearts of gold. I will check out the other blogs you mentioned as well.<br /><br />You make beautiful jewelry too! <br /><br />Enjoy the day!<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.com
