Interview with Erica of Stamped with Love
Handcrafted and Custom Stamped Jewelry Creations
Tell me a bit about yourself and your Etsy shop.
I am a mother of two: a 22-month-old son and an 11-year-old step daughter. I am currently a middle school engineering/technology education teacher as my day job but my corporation is laying off 60 teachers and I recently got my lay off notice. My Etsy shop features lots of hand stamped jewelry items with a variety of other items on the way.
What inspires you to create?
Things around me often inspire me to create. I strive to make things that my friends and family would love to have.
Describe your creative process.
I look through a variety of sources when I am getting ready to start a new project. I also talk to my friends and family to see what type of things they would enjoy.
What are some of your own favorite creations?
I think my favorite creation thus far is my personal "Mommy" necklace with my children's names.
How do you want your craft and business to evolve?
I am focusing now on building my local and online presence to a functioning profitable business.
What or who influences you as an artisan?
My children.
What brings people to seek out your creations, and what makes your work unique?
I think people seek my creations when they want something personalized and one-of-a-kind.
What choices have you made that helped your business the most?
I have decided to bring my shop from more hobby based to business focused.
What advice would you give to other artisans?
Don't get discouraged and continue striving for your dreams.
Where can your creations be found?
