Ever wonder where
all the lovely things you see on Etsy are made? It’s time to take a
behind-the-scenes look at the workspace of Etsy Dallas teammate Kathleen Care
of Kathleen Care Jewelry.
Kathleen created has
converted a corner of her bedroom into her own studio space. It’s about 5’ x 4’
and a step up from the early days. “I started my business working on my couch
with four plastic storage bins filled with gemstones, metal wire and chain,”
Kathleen said. “My husband felt sorry for me (or maybe he was annoyed) and
bought me a proper desk.” She has since added a second desk.
In her current
space, Kathleen uses two different size torches (fire), Dremel tools for
sanding, buffing, polishing, etching, texturing, etc. She has a solid wood
desk, a plywood desk and a granite surface. “Each of my surfaces work
differently with the metal and gives me the ability to do a range of texturing
on the jewelry,” she said.
