Craft Cafe Artisan Interview - Lisa Boland Jewelry Designs

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Meet Lisa Boland from Lisa Boland Jewelry Designs

♥ Please tell us about yourself:
My most important job and greatest joy is being mom to my incredible son, Benjamin. He inspires me every day to be the best person I can be.
My love of jewelry design started over 17 years ago when a friend took me into a bead shop. I was hooked immediately and my new hobby quickly grew into a passion for creating beautiful, unique jewelry.

♥ How long have you been in business?
I started selling my work and teaching classes about 14 years ago. I took a few years off when my son was born and officially launched Lisa Boland Jewelry Designs almost 2 years ago.

♥ Please describe your business:
In my shop you will find everything from simple and stylish handcrafted designs perfect for everyday to sparkling accessories for your special night out. My pieces feature sterling silver wire and hand-forged components, semi-precious gemstones, and one-of-a-kind artisan beads. I also love working with Swarovski crystal beads for their unmatched sparkle and brilliant colors.

♥ Tell us what inspires you:
Color inspires me more than anything else, as well the shapes and lines found in nature.

♥ Please share with others, your best marketing techniques:
As much as I love interacting online, my most successful marketing technique is one-on-one interaction with my clients. Meeting people in person gives me the opportunity to really share my ideas and passion for jewelry more than any photograph or online post ever could.

♥ What do you love most about your business?
I love seeing my designs go from concept or sketch to the finished piece. I always get excited when the ideas in my head become a beautiful reality.

♥ Please tell us why have chosen Craft Café as a venue for your business?
Craft Cafe's customer service is second to none. The administrative team always goes above and beyond doing all that they can to make the site work for both sellers and buyers. Concerns are addressed promptly and ideas and suggestions are always welcome. And of course, the membership fee for sellers is more reasonable than any other site I've found.

♥ What advice can you give for crafters/artisans just starting out?
Before investing in a lot of materials, take your time to discover what you enjoy creating most. Stay true to your aesthetic and design what you love.

♥ Where do you see your business in 5 years?
My dream is to have my own studio space away from my home where I can really focus on my work. I would also love to be able to have a staff to take care of all the "business" aspects of business so I can devote the majority of my time to designing and creating.

♥ Lastly, would you like to offer our readers a special or coupon code for your Craft Cafe shop?
Please use coupon code "CCBLOG" at my Craft Cafe Shop during checkout to save 15% on your order. Coupon expires December 31, 2012.

We would like to send out a big THANK YOU to Lisa for all her love and support.

Paris Pendant Necklace - rheasrenderings

This pendant is a bronze piece that has a vintage Paris train ticket behind glass and is accented with a Paris charm, a red glass heart, and one small red swarovski crystal. It hangs 18" long on a brass chain and is perfect for anyone who loves Paris or anything French. The vintage ticket has a picture of the Eiffel Tower in the background. The pendant itself is about 1-1/2" in diameter, so this is not a small dainty piece, but it is not too heavy on the neck so it could be worn by someone of any age.

This necklace will ship free to the U.S. and Canada and arrives boxed for gifting.

PROCEEDS FROM EACH PENDANT WILL BENEFIT ONE OF THE CRAFT CAFE ADMINS WHOSE KITTY RECENTLY GOT ATTACKED/MAULED BY AN OUTDOOR CRITTER. IMMEDIATE SURGERY, MEDS, AND SHOTS ARE NEEDED. THANKS FOR YOUR PURCHASE AND HELP!

{{Original retail price is $12. Flash Sale is 25% off.}}

Everyone will comment on this irresistibly cute pendant! The perfect gift for yourself or the kitty lover in your life. This popular pendant is smaller than my original at 1" diameter each and a perfect circle. As gifted to Rachael Ray in April 2012!

This gorgeous glass pendant is sealed through a detailed and tedious process with high-quality photo paper, handmade glass tiles, and handmade glazes. The tiles are sealed for moisture resistance and each one is a tiny masterpiece at just 1 inch diameter. Each one is personally signed by the artist.

This listing comes with an 18" silver-plated snake chain. You can substitute with a ribbon cord chain (convo me for colors) or wire bracelet if you wish.

Since handmade glass tiles are used, quality control is at its utmost. Your product won't chip or shatter when dropped, unlike commercial glass. It is also crystal clear, and sparkles under any lighting (an aspect that can be difficult to capture in photography).

Sealed to be water resistant, but please do not submerge.
