FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I don't have a standard pricing format. Each piece is priced out differently as the cost of beads and supplies can vary greatly and the time required to complete the job will depend on complexity of designs or techniques used. However, once we have our initial consultation or when you've decided on the components to be used, I will be able to give you a close estimate or price range.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we would have in person or phone contact to learn about what you are interested in having made and what you would like to spend. Next we meet to look at beads and patterns and determine a design for a unique, one of a kind rosary or piece of jewelry. Ideally we would meet at my home to view the beads and jewelry components. However, I can meet at a different location, bringing a limited variety of supplies, if you have already decided on details.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Mostly self taught but took several classes at the larger bead shows to learn advanced techniques. Read beading & jewelry magazines and online sources to stay up to date on styles.
