Learn MoreI absolutely love this necklace!! It goes with so much, and I bought the extender chain, which makes it even more versatile. If you want the necklace to stand out (because it’s really a beauty!) you can wear a contrasting, lighter colored top, and if you want something more subtle you can wear a black top. I love it both ways, so much so I have two of them - one in silver at the bottom and the other in bronze. It’s lightweight, comfortable to wear, and gets many compliments. Not only that, but the artist is a pleasure to work with!
mixed metal stacking rings (set of three)
I love the frankness and direct thoughts about being an artist. I think so many of us feel the insecurities and even the affects of “elite” artists’ scrutinies. It’s great how Megan addresses this and more. I highly recommend reading this book to help gain insights about being an artist.
Excellent reflection on the different qualifiers we place on creative work to create a hierarchy that benefits certain creators over others. Examining how and why we create these gates, Aumen gives you permission to see your own art and others’ with a more generous eye, celebrating a life lived with curiosity and openness to all forms of expression.
I just finished reading Try It & See today. I have already recommended this book to several other artists. Practical kick in the "behind" (I want to use the actual expletive) encouragement and inspiration. No nonsense writing style.
I am engrossed in reading this book and I am loving it!
I love this book, it is so full of thoughts, ideas and information in bite size pieces. I just leave it on my desk, just open it and read whatever I open it too. Thanks for putting together another great book!
I love this pendant! It’s great for a pop of color and beautifully made.
I very much am enjoying the rings.
But I have emailed and phone 2 times each with a question about Silver on Steel Stacking rings.
I never got an answer or any kind of reply.
Full of great info about wholesale. Def recommend this. Megan is always straightforward and doesn't add useless fluff when she teaches.
Megan gets to the point fast and continues to deliver all the real-life practicalities of Selling to Stores from start to finish. Beginning from where I was at, I gained clarity on what to do next, why and how to do it. There are lots of useful examples! Extremely easy to understand, full of passion and motivation, after finishing the book I had everything I needed to jumped right in. Getting over the hump and moving forward is invigorating! Megan has generously put everything on the table and truly knows exactly what is relevant for artists and makers.
This is a wonderful planner to help with goal setting and overall organization and planning. I highly recommend this for any small business owner wanting to have a more clear path forward.
After listening to the audio book I listened to it again. After that I got the journal that goes with it. I intend to get the her new book next.
