Art Jewelry Elements: The Price of Lampwork
http://artjewelryelements.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-price-of-lampwork.html
Tutorials and Favorite Posts. Monday, September 24, 2012. The Price of Lampwork. A lampworking friend of mine was threatening to sell her torch yesterday. Why? Wellthe answer is simple and it isn't. The simple part is that she hasn't had sales for a couple months and she needs the income. The difficult part has to do with pricing. There are some lampworkers.and to be honest, other types of beadmakers, jewelry designers, and artisans in every medium, who are WAY undervaluing their work. 1 hour (often more).

Sep 13, 2014. Sea Shell Design Challenge Reveal. I love celebrating artists who create beads! And jewelry artists, too) I'm just not a bead maker, nor do I wish to be, but using art beads for inspiration makes my heart sing! I love how each artist's work is unique, and how one handcrafted work of art can inspire jewelry art in all kinds of techniques and styles. So, when I saw the ceramic scallop shells by Michelle McCarthy of Firefly Design Studio. I immediately thought "design challenge! I'm so lucky t...
