Here’s a nice note from a local artist looking for traction:

My name is Clarity Collins and I’m displaced worker turned artisan silversmith near Asheville NC.

I have turned a recent layoff into an opportunity by teaching myself to create beautiful handcrafted jewelry, and I am actively turning that craft into a successful small business.  I am launching a made-to-order line this month which features ethically sourced gemstones and recycled metals. This line will be available at local galleries and art shows throughout the upcoming year, and I am actively pursuing wholesale and gallery representation on a national level. My work has been featured in a variety of industry websites and, more importantly, has received rave reviews from my customers on my website, www.ScrollworkDesigns.etsy.com.
