Shop Name: Chester and Lola
Brief Product Description: Jewelry, cards, and gifts for people who love birds
What is unique about your product? I focus solely on imagery involving birds, both in the papers I use and the jewelry components I include.
How did you get started? I just got sick of seeing so much wonderful handmade stuff and thinking "I could do that" -- but never actually doing it. Finally I just decided to DO it.
Where do you get your inspiration? My two lovely parakeets (that would be Chester and Lola), wild birds... also from the steampunk movement and the magazines put out by Somerset Studio.
What excites you most about your work/shop? That people really like the product!
Describe your workspace/workroom. We have an extra bedroom in our house and so I have an entire room with a table, some shelves, and a window seat! There's also a sofa bed for a little inspirational nap. ;-)
Which do you prefer: online sales/marketing or face-to-face sales/marketing? Why? Face to face is a lot easier. I'm not very adept at marketing online yet.
Where would you like to see yourself in 5 years? If I can still do this, I'd love to be doing it!
What do you feel is the most important skill you use in your business every day? My creativity.
What do you like about EtsyAustin? It's a great group that provides lots of encouragement and support to its members!
Describe something about yourself that may be a surprise to people on the team. I'm a barista and obsessed with pulling the perfect shot of espresso.
