Sunset.com: Where do you get your design inspiration?
Sandra Ducheneaux: I have been artistically influenced greatly by my two grandmothers who were fashion designers and jewelry collectors. My first piece of jewelry was given to me by my grandmother Frieda. It was a stunning amethyst necklace from the late 1800s. I also appreciate the Art Deco and Edwardian eras. I often get design ideas by watching vintage movies, attending a vintage fair or visiting the museum.
Sunset.com: Where does the magic happen? Describe your work space.
Patty Benson: I work from home out of my living room-turned-workspace. I was in the kitchen for a few years but it was too small so I convinced my husband to let me hijack our main living space. I really love my studio. It's cozy with nice light and I like being surrounded by all my work.
Sunset.com: Any advice for how aspiring artisans can get started?
Sara Paloma: I would advise artisans just starting out to protect themselves from the marketplace as much as possible for as long as you can--keep a regular day job, have a series of weird, quirky day jobs, work in the corporate world for awhile, try it all--but don't settle in to doing your craft for money too early. It's like getting married too young or showing up at a party at 7:30. Sure, people do it and manage alright, but it's way more fun if you hold off and do a lot of other things first.
