I’ve made a fairly drastic decision. It’s scary and intimidating and puts a lot of pressure on my shoulders – which means it’s the right decision. On January 1, I will blank-slate my entire Etsy shop.
The little creative voice that lives inside of me has been nagging at me for some time to step up and create the jewelry that I really want to make – pieces that are bold in a simple way, that embody the power of solving a creative challenge, that remind us to step into the spotlight a bit more. These designs have long been floating through my head, but have never seen the light of day because I keep letting myself get stuck by the process of stepping out of the comfort zone of my current work.
So, on January 1, I’m confronting my comfort zone and trying something drastic. I will place my Etsy shop on vacation. I will remove the current listings. I will likely decommission the pieces that are currently for sale. And I will start creating new work.
My hope is that, by blank-slating and re-launching my shop, I’ll create a space to make new work outside of the shadow of everything that I’ve made previously. My hope is also that, by bluntly stating this all here, I’ll have to hold my feet to the fire and follow through on my goals.
My intention is to re-launch my shop around May 1. That sounds like a long time, but I need these few months to erase, and then re-create, the current structure of my shop and my work. It’s terrifying and exciting and I can’t wait to dig in and get to work.
What this means for you is that you have two weeks to grab up anything that you might have your eye on. Consider it a final clearance fire sale, because these pieces will likely not ever come back (even the newer ones). Need a little extra push?
