Hello everyone!
My name is Jenn..I'm completely new to this fabulous network! I'm a jewelry and accessories designer that has been desigining for two years and doing house shows and little craft fairs every now and then. I'm from the Greendale, WI area, but would also like to be active in the art community in Chicago, IL. I design fresh, funky, edgy jewelry, hairsticks, hair pins, brooches out of several medias (shells, fabric, wire, wood, paper, etc) If you're a creative yourself and are from the Chicago or Wisconsin, and want to chat, maybe try to get together to do a few house shows per month, I'd love too meet you! When you're starting out small, house shows are a great way to get to know more people and develop more networks! Keep creating everyone, hope to hear from you soon!
All the best,
Jenn

I'm not in your area- but thought I'd send a welcome your way. Hope you do well and enjoy your shows!
Thank you so much for the warm welcome, I truly appreciate it! I can definitely see many knowledgeable and talented artists on here that are very helpful in showing a newbie how to approach things. The craft shows that I currently participate in are really small scale because I have a full time Mon-Fri job that demands quite a bit of my time. I'm looking into posting items on Etsy first, and then hopefully try to apply to the bigger art fairs later. There's really so much to learn, I'm just trying to soak in all the wonderful advice others have to give. I wish you the best of luck as well in your creative endeavors!
