Over the past 10+ years I have had periods where I felt that my art and jewelry was up for committee. This has normally come in the form of needing or, feeling that I needed to, create jewelry for customers that I didn’t really want to make. At these points in my career I felt that I was not in control of what I was making. I hated feeling that way! Mainly because I was still putting, all I had, in the piece but hating every minute. It wasn’t until I heard a stage presentation from Tom Bilyeu the host of “Impact Theory,” that I realized why I’m setting out to do what I’m doing right now; building my business so I can create the art I want to make, how I want to make it, and sell it the way I want. I for one am tired of having all the skills and feelling like I need to beg for the privilege to make terribly designed jewelry. \nEnjoy!\nMF\n"}
