As a newbie to this whole ccs and web thing it is a pleasure to be asked as a friend by someone who has such a handle on promoting your lovley bead jewelry through the web. You certainly look to have found a passion with avengence and are creating intelligently. I will spend a bit more time looking at your site and see what I can learn from your approach. Thanks. Edward

There is a new group called Art to Adorn on CCS. It's for people who design clothes and accesories. Would you like to join? I'm only the second member :)

I only just took a brief look at your blog and will have to come back later to check out all the articles and links you have there. The Sunburst earrings are really spunky, by the way.

Well I have opened my Etsy store it is called Pipou, I have only put in about 6 pieces because I am feeling scared of sorts. There are artists on Etsy that are ripping other artists off, one of them is quite obvious and now my store is a favourite of hers,perhaps nothing to worry about, what has been your experience with Etsy?
By the way, I love your jewellery!

At 5:27am on February 26, 2008, angele deane said…: Beautiful jewellery! I have just joined Etsy myself, a fellow indie artist. A bit scared about it all but jumped anyway.
Looking forward to getting to know you

Profile Information

What's Your Favourite Way To Create?

My Favourite Way to create...alone and obsessively with music.

Favourite Artists (in ANY creative medium)

Antonio Gaudi, Kathryn Mansfield, Badgley Mischka, William Shakespeare, Kathryn Hepburn,

Greatest Creative Moment You've Had?

The greatest moment I've had was when I finally found my hobby. I have always been crafty, and dabbled in crafts here and there for most of my life. In 2004, a friend showed me how to make a wire-wrapped loop and I made 50 pairs in two days, and haven't stopped since. Finding the creative thing I loved to do was one of the greatest experiences!

What's Your Biggest Creative Dream?

I want to create amazing and beautiful jewelry. I also want to be a successful jewelry writer (and eventually become the "IT" girl in independent jewelry) by combining my love for jewelry with my professional background in IT and high-tech.

About Capitola Girl

Welcome to My Page on Coach Creative Space!
My name is Susan, and my friends and other indie jewelry makers call me Capitola Girl. My professional background is in technical marketing and communications, and my love is making jewelry. I started the Capitola Girl Jewelry Blog in September 2007.

Every Girl Has a Story and So Should Her Jewelry
On my blog, I write weekly and monthly feature articles about other indie artists (especially ones that sell on Etsy like me). In addition I moderate the following online jewelry groups and social networks. When writing features, I first look at the jewelry submitted by members of the online groups that I moderate. So, if you are an indie jewelry maker and looking for another place to show off you stuff, feel free to join these groups today:

Tickled Pink on Friday Findings

Pink is a color that consistently conveys a feminine softness. Less bold than red, its a soothing color associated with romance. But when you share bolder shades of pink with black, it makes a passionate and sophisticated statement. That's why I'm tickled pink to show you this week's Friday Finds -- a pink and black showcase of handmade jewelry! Come check it out at:
