SUMMER GIVEAWAY TUESDAYS: DEUCE (NOW CLOSED)
 |
| Deuce Summer Collection 2011 |
When did you start selling on Etsy and why Etsy?
I began selling on Etsy in 2008 due to an overflow in vintage clothing. I can't help but not buy an amazing vintage piece. I guess it is my weakness. :)
Is this a full time gig for you?
I have a part time job, but hope to make jewelry design a full time gig in the very near future.
How do you manage time to do everything? And when/why did you decide to do have this as a second gig?
I work in the mornings and get home after lunch and just start into jewelry making. It is sorta a time for me to relax. I need creativity in my life or else I just don't feel like I'm living. I would love to just design jewelry, but it is hard being an artist sometimes (making enough money to pay the bills). I manage everything with a lot of coffee and not a lot of sleep.
Your personal fav item in your shop right now:
I just love Layered Gold Geometric Square Earrings. They look AMAZING on! The way they swing when you walk is perfect!
What was first item you ever made/sold?
The first item ever sold on Deuce was actually a sock elephant my twin sister made. We were so excited about (we were pretty young) and later found out it was our best friend who had purchased it! She still has it to this day!
What are your plans for the future?
For the future I would just like to be creative and happy. I would love to only be designing jewelry in my little house and living with my boyfriend and trusty yorkie Brooklyn.
Do you have a workspace?
I do have a workspace, but I am currently moving. My boyfriend and I live near Alki in West Seattle and the ocean is very close, which is a huge inspiration. I often enjoy working at coffee shops (Seattle is the home of Starbucks) when I answer emails or do the business portion of Deuce.
Where else can we find your goodies?
The best place to find Deuce's goodies is on Etsy at www.etsy.com/shop/jamiecox1984?ref=si_shop
For fun: whats playing on your ipod, mp3 player?
Taking Back Sunday is my music of choice right now
Favorite book?
Favorite book is Geek Love (I just finished it)
Also I'm a brunch fanatic- Any Seattle brunch recommendations?
*** Best brunch in Seattle (especially West Seattle) is Salty's on Alki. Amazing brunch, amazing view.
