2016 Blog Posts for the Write 31 Days Challenge

31 Days Blog Posts --2016

This page contains the list of blog posts for the 2016 Write 31 Days writing challenge.
Scroll down to see list, please.

This year, I am continuing the theme of Jewelry making and sales... with a bit of a twist. I am including people who work outside the "accepted" field... beading, wire work, clay...

There is a whole world out there... of jewelry that we ignore because it is not what we have come to expect as the norm... and there is some really great stuff out there.

Last year, I included some makers that think outside the box... People who make jewelry out of found objects, that make jewelry from non-traditional materials... and a metal clay artist... who gets grief because some people don't think silver clay is real silver.. or that making a piece of jewelry from metal clay is somehow not working with metal...
Or the person I wasn't able to interview but had conversations with... and I also found that some people out there actually don't count wax carving and lost wax jewelry as actually being hand made...even when all the work is done by hand...There are some interesting ideas out there... I'm going to explore some of those ideas... try to dispel some of the myths and find answers to questions that you might have about where and how jewelry is made.

Look forward to more surveys, more opinion polls, more questions into how people look at jewelry differently... from the fundamentalist jeweler to the out of the box, radical jewelry artists Join me... for this interesting and what I'm sure will be a bumpy ride through October with Jewelry: Manufacture and Sale of Wearable Art.

Each day, a different blogpost will be added to this list. Please come back from time to time to see the new entries.
