Tammy Powley has posted a super interview with Charlene Sevier, who is a phenomenal and thoughtful jewelry designer.
I was blown away by this interview as it was so insightful  and I actually learned so much about how another designer thinks when I read it. Tammy's questions and Charlene's responses went together like a hand in a glove.
I thoroughly recommend that you read this interview, as I anticipate that you will enjoy it as much as I did! It will help you in your own reflections on why you personally make jewelry. It is just exceptional!
