And I teach both beading and singing, but I guess the singing teaching is my main source of income at the moment. I would love it if singing itself could be but I'm not quite there yet! I can't see myself being a full time jewellery designer - that's not the aim - I think I would find it too stressful, and one stressful pastime (singing!) is enough!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14254291271007836270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175719065497818478.post-69676104824715479912012-02-28T17:45:00.245+00:002012-02-28T17:45:00.245+00:00(Forgot to say, I e-mailed you about B&B over ...(Forgot to say, I e-mailed you about B&B over the weekend - hope I used the right address!)Hazel Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765047914826349203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175719065497818478.post-63066437060610551552012-02-28T01:15:01.584+00:002012-02-28T01:15:01.584+00:00i love your blog! please take a look at mine and ...i love your blog! please take a look at mine and tell me what you think.<br /><br />thanks! <br />shelly<br /><br />www.aujourlejour-shelly.blogspot.comshellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082128781118929054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175719065497818478.post-61967463786611067012012-02-28T01:13:04.382+00:002012-02-28T01:13:04.382+00:00Well I am a nail technician and salon owner in my ...Well I am a nail technician and salon owner in my "other" life. It is this other career that got me started making jewelry. I attended a jewelry party, thought I can make that and did. I wore my pieces to work and clients began asking me about them. Not long after that I put pieces up for sale and have enjoyed seeing my clients and friends wearing my designs ever since.<br />My nail clients are my biggest cheerleaders, except for my mom of course ;-)<br />My day job has definitely helped my jewelry career. I am a wife, mother, jewelry designer, salon owner and nail technician. It's a crazy life but I wouldn't have it any other way.<br />Oh and my blog is:<br />http://www.formysweetdaughter.blogspot.com<br />I would love if you would check it out!<br />Shannon CShannon Chomanczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06660614054875338541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175719065497818478.post-84588223794230973522012-02-27T13:17:56.779+00:002012-02-27T13:17:56.779+00:00Nope, no graphic arts experience (although my daug...Nope, no graphic arts experience (although my daughter did go to Rutgers for it - Does that count???). Actually am a retired RN, and was my yearbook editor in nursing school many, many years ago.

But now years later I work part-time in PR as a copywriter and do my silver and felt work when I can. My family keep flying the nest and coming back, so things are constantly changing here.Fihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246198563773968150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175719065497818478.post-56297996340836766402012-02-26T03:33:45.520+00:002012-02-26T03:33:45.520+00:00Jo, writing blog reviews sounds like a lot of fun!...Jo, writing blog reviews sounds like a lot of fun! If you're ever looking for suggestions, I know a lot of very talented people -- including Vanessa Walilko of Kali Butterfly. She just made a chain maille flapper dress!<br /><br />In one past life -- I've had a lot of them -- I was a veterinary technician for a few months. Most stressful job I've ever done! Although there were some really cute animals. :)Sarah Sequinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221653054315631804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175719065497818478.post-48358029065260869202012-02-26T00:15:11.633+00:002012-02-26T00:15:11.633+00:00Hi Jo,

But a wild mid-life change took me from office several thousand kilometers away to owning a little convenience store near the sea in Canada. It doesn't leave me much time to keep learning my jewelry craft but I keep plugging away and hopefully, getting more proficient.Susanna Originalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07158392727581242565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175719065497818478.post-84787669119547619332012-02-25T18:36:41.391+00:002012-02-25T18:36:41.391+00:00Since I started lampwoking/polymer claying, I'...Since I started lampwoking/polymer claying, I've often wished that I'd had a background in some sort of visual arts medium. I came from a English/Cultural and Media Studies background, did a bit of retails, then decided to do a sudden turn and make jewellery!Hazel Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765047914826349203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175719065497818478.post-11044026312693711582012-02-25T17:47:18.262+00:002012-02-25T17:47:18.262+00:00Hi Jo,

I went to technical college for graphic arts but never went into the career of it. I do hold a full time job as a Police Communications Officer. Coming home in the afternoons and beading helps relieve the stress from the day. I do not have a husband or small children around, my Son is on his own, and I moved in with my Mom last summer it is a win win for both of us. So I pretty much have a lot of time to create. I have always been a crafty person.<br />ThereseTherese's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048140538791568162noreply@blogger.com
