Handmade Jewelry

There is a great deal of competitive jewelry designers online, and it's hard to get yourself noticed. Since my website, www.rubysransom.com is new I am working everyday to reach out. I know my designs are not like everyone else's, and yet everyone is trying to capture the same audience.

It is a constant process of reinventing and remaining original. What is original for that matter? We all accumulate motifs, materials, subject matter and style that we use as jumping off points when sitting down at the work table. It's unconscious that we integrate what we have seen and experienced before. The key is to experience that creative force anew day in and day out.
