Studio design plans on hold.
An unexpected move has put my green jewelry studio design plans on hold. While I can’t say I’m overly thrilled about the delays, there is a bright side to everything. I now have a bit more time to work on my business and marketing plans, to research my equipment options, to save for needed equipment, tools and materials, as well as to decide exactly what I want to incorporate into the overall design.
On the downside of all of this, I cannot determine the exact design (layout & setup) until I have a new space in which to build the studio. I tend to believe that things usually happen for a reason, although sudden surprises can certainly throw a wrench into your plans! I’m going to roll with it and turn this curve ball into a positive.

My article Going Green: The Importance of Fair Trade Materials has been published in my column in the GreenWise department of Handmade News. In this article, I discuss the importance of fair trade materials, and challenges that artisans of handmade goods current face when trying to locate materials and supplies that come from ethical, fair trade sources.
