Tuesday, August 16, 2011. Keeping yourself inspired in your craft. Inspiration comes in waves for me. What about you? Sometimes I can be clipping along, jotting down sketches of pieces I want to make, and creating custom orders, but this summer - no custom orders, so creativity, I was in a genuine slump. I have a few different techniques that work when I encounter this roadblock to progress. how do you handle it? 4) Reorganize that mess! If you could see my work space, you'd gasp. Really. It's te...It's ...

Thursday, April 7, 2011. Concepts and photo shoots and fashion shows, oh MY! It's been a busy month. Building your own business takes a lot of effort and time, not to mention building technical skills and finding a niche. I've been very pleased to have found a great circle of creative talent, here in Jacksonville! They're very active and pursuing new venues and looks while building their own businesses as well. I'm having such a great time! My friend Christy at Christy Whitehead Photography. For the Rela...

Musings: From Concept to Creation....
http://laurastaley.blogspot.com/2010/08/from-concept-to-creation.html
Monday, August 16, 2010. From Concept to Creation. My newest creation was a fun collaboration between a beautiful bride and myself. After creating her bridesmaids' necklaces for her September wedding, we started to work on her bridal necklace (still under construction) and a necklace originally for her rehearsal dinner, but now to be worn as a statement piece at a friends wedding. That is a show piece! Nice job. Connie. August 16, 2010 at 5:28 PM. August 24, 2010 at 6:38 AM. August 25, 2010 at 10:55 PM.
