Laura Lynn Coppinger
Rebel Cowgirls Jewelry
Fairview, MO. USA

Howdy Ya’ll! Well shucks, darling. I’m a stay at home mom/grandma
and love it. Married twenty something years (do I have to
count?)I’ve been making jewelry for about 4 years now and I love the
western style jewelry. Favorite stone is turquoise. I live in a
rural area with cattle on one side of the house and farming fields
the other three directions. Horses are a long time passion and
inspiration. Favorite past times are rodeos and bull buckouts and
craft shows. I love challenges and try to learn something new
everyday.

Robin Lucius
Shreveport, LA. USA

A hobbyist who dabbles in several mediums, looking to turn my craft
into a source of income. I look forward to making friends with
common interest and goals.

Karen Cora Ferry-Templin
Eye Designs
Wofford Heights, CA. USA

I have a small home based business. Currently, I am searching for a
U. S. manufacturer to produce my jewelry item in 500 + quantities.

Totally new to the industry, I’m jumping in heart and soul. … not
a lot of capital to work with but a product with much potential.

There is so much I need to learn - how to protect my design;
marketing; manufacturing vs. hiring employees; etc.
