second storie indie market: a visit with: Sara Silvio

Over the next few months leading up to our November market, Tuesday through Thursday we'll be showcasing one of our 2012 market artists, their work, and a little peek at where they make the magic happen. We hope you'll enjoy this new series, where we'll ask the same questions of each of our makers.

You'll get to know a little bit about our talented makers and what inspires them, read about their favorite ways to recharge their creativity, and learn what experience has shown them to be an invaluable piece of the puzzle in selling their work. Come November, won't it be great to walk into a room filled with inspiring, familiar faces? We think so, too!

We're a day late in beginning our posts this week - we'll double up tomorrow! But today we're happy to begin by visiting with jewelry designer and returning Second Storie vendor, Sara Silvio...

What first inspired you to create/make what you do now?

It's my fascination with the relationship between adornment and how we present ourselves to the world...I'm almost certain that's why I do what I do.

Your advice for someone just starting out

and wanting to sell their work?

At your very beginning my advice is to go into yourself to be original as you carve your path...really trust your internal works for all it has to offer your creativity and success.
