Artfire Metalsmith's Guild

It's a new year and I am starting the year with some new challenges. One of those is belonging to the Artfire Metalsmith's Guild. I will be linking some of my blog posts with the guild, including featuring other member artists. There is such great talent out there!   I will start out giving you a link to our guild master, Canadian Rockies Art, featuring her Peruvian Blue Opal ring!

Nathalie's workmanship is beautiful and I especially love that she uses a lot of copper in her creations.

While you're at it, take some time and to check out the guild site and see the works of all its talented members.    Artfire Metalsmiths Guild

MARKETING YOUR WEB SITE

I recently posted a question to http://askszarka.blogspot.com/ regarding ways to drive traffic to my new jewelry site at ajhearn.artfire.com. I did not want to attract unwanted spam, so asked for their feedback on how to accomplish this in a cost effective way. Robin Hawke, who does freelance PR and Marketing, shared the Jewelry Marketing information she learned at the Tucson Gem Show. Robyn's feedback was informative and practical, especially for the budget-minded entrepreneur. And, it does not simply apply to jewelry marketing. Go to Szarka's blogspot listed above. You will also fall in love with Szarka's jewelry designs. You can also visit Robyn's web site at http://www.magpiegemstones.com/.
