Then the hard part, the site itself, the brochure
and application forms. Its always the details.... I rather liked the brochure, but the website was boring; I got bogged in details, and couldn't think of a good design. Then, in comes the helping hand of Virginia Vivier of the Ganoksin Project. What a gem! She looked at my site and gently said, "I visited your new site and see that it is a 'work in progress'.” Then she said to call. When we talked she gave me some fabulously helpful hints for improvement.I'm soon off to the Fotolia and other site to look for California images, then the new site updates will begin. I'll post updates here as the site evolves. In the meantime, I invite anyone to check out the site as it is now, and if you're a California jeweler, I'd love to have you list.
Please pass the word to other fine craftsmen you know. (And please, I use the word 'craftsmen' in it's wonderful, pre-politically correct form: "one who is excellent at one's craft," so don't send "I'm offended" comments about the term. Any other comments or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. I was just browsing some blogs and I came across yours. I have to say I love it. Very informative and I can definitely say I'll be back to read more. If you want, you can hop on over to my site and check it out. It's a little link directory for parents and their websites. Nothing spectacular. Haha. And being a mom myself, I wanted to find a way to bring all kinds of mom/dad blogs together and start a little community and that's what my site is (or is gonna be someday). But anyway, I'm bookmarking you now and I shall return regularly. :) Have a nice day!
Hello Jenny. Thank you for your comment on my blog. As soon as I get the time I'll be adding more to it and to the http://www.craftersofcalifornia.com site. It's all so time intensive.
I tried sending this from your site, but had to increase the size several times to be able to read it. Much of your text is light gray on white and almost invisible; also very small.
You have a great idea and I wish you luck, but you might want to change the text color if you expect many responses.
I couldn't find a place to enter the capcha code, so I'm adding this to my blog as a comment in hopes that you see it. I clicked on the submit on your site and got the "invalid code" response, but still could find no place to enter the code.
