If you love what you are doing then you will find a way to succeed. By looking at your work, it is clear that you put a ton of love into your jewelry.

Good job! It's very elegant, and it led me to your blog! <br /><br />On topic comment: I have been painting silk for nearly 20 years and I am still coming up with studio and production innovations. I think dedication and activity count for a lot when it comes to "success" Whether I am streamlining pre-production or decreasing production loss, sourcing new suppliers or cold-calling potential clients, not to mention gaining photo skills, conceptualizing designs, I focus my attention to do the best I can do. And while multi-tasking is the norm for a creative entrepreneur, keeping the tasks at hand manageable is really key.

I really agree with you. Sure, there is talent, but talent needs hard work to make things great.<br /><br />Maybe talent decides what you will do. I have been trying different art forms on and off throughout my life and nothing really stuck with me, until I discovered metalsmithing. I find this so interesting and exciting that it makes me want to work hard and spend a lot of money on tools and material. Drawing didn't quite do the same for me. ;)SilverBlueberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415298337609315511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7532541276626026334.post-83529508444487921052011-10-01T18:01:26.519-03:002011-10-01T18:01:26.519-03:00I think you cannot have one without the other. Yo...I think you cannot have one without the other. You may have talent, but if you don't work hard to grow that talent it will wither and die. You can work hard, but without that spark to make something no one else had, whether a painting or a microchip, without the fire of creativity you will not succeed. It's kind of like the age-old question, which came first...the chicken or the egg?Dianehttp://catcophony.artfire.comnoreply@blogger.com
