My intention is to create pieces that bring peace to my soul and spread happiness out.
What I do for a living: Full-time designer, maker, photographer, marketer, silversmith, goldsmith, metalsmith.
Must haves in life: family, friends, nature, good food, furry creatures, plants, creativity, my phone and computer, and happiness!
Typically, you can find me at an art show somewhere across this U.S. of A. Those of you that have met me in my booth, you know that what I love is connection.
The connection is what makes me doing my thing, making jewelry, worthwhile. And of course now, during this pandemic craziness, I am sheltering in place at home!
So, I miss you all! It’s fun to engage with you, talk about my work, look at different pieces in order to help you choose the one that speaks to you most.
Take a moment to reach out, say hello, connect with me on Instagram or Facebook ...or old school connect and text me...or older school connect and call me should you have any questions!
]]>Since coming home from my last show on March 16th, I continue to look back to see how much has changed. I'm not planning, I'm not making inventory for spring shows, I'm not packing for shows, or looking for new shows, or working on my booth display. What I have been doing now is working on my website, adding new products, learning as much as possible about marketing in a different way. It's took a bit to get going again, but part of my "New day, new world, new game plan," is starting to blog!
It might be stream of conscious thinking, but I'm okay with that right now...I hope you are.
Happiness,
Carianne
]]>So, we live in the 21st century as of the date of this blog, with technologies that make the world a smaller, more connected space, which is so exciting, yeah of course, right?! I'd so like to create a virtual show environment online, and now that all shows are canceled for the foreseeable future, I've had the time to bring my site up to date!
Being out in the world at shows and having conversations with my clients and people that just come into my booth has been the most unexpected and rewarding part of this journey, so I'd like to make the online part more fun by somehow generating the same spirit and energy online. We shall see what transpires!
For all of you that contact me after shows to purchase things throughout the years and NOW...THANK YOU! And for all of you that have just found me...Yay, and welcome.
As always, I'm open to connect if you need a special piece of jewelry.
In the meantime...
Happiness,
Carianne
