There have been many people who have lent helping hands to me and my little art biz, and from time to time I like to throw an extra-big thank you out to them.
One of the most emotionally and professionally generous people I've ever met on this planet is the silver jewelry designer Amy Peters of Amy Peters Studio: http://www.amypetersstudio.com/
Amy took a shine to my work early on in my biz and has offered words of encouragement and advice ever since. Thank you, Amy!
Now YOU can benefit from Amy's advice, too! I just found out that in addition to her e-mail studio newsletter, and her advice column in CRAFTS BUSINESS MAGAZINE http://www.craftsbusinessmagazine.com/, Amy now shares her expertise through her blog which you can read here: http://www.amypeters.blogs.com/
I just read her entry for April 22 on the highs and lows of working with catalogs. Check it out for sound advice on how to tell when you are ready to work with "the big guys"--it's spot on!
