Catherine,

    I too was helped along by my past employer. Sometime you just need a
    swift kick in the rear. Don't despair. I too sometimes go a month
    without a good ideal and then all of a sudden the flood gates open
    and I'm drawing away. Sometimes that will last a couple of days or a
    month. The other thing that would be a benefit is to meet with other
    like minded people. I meet with a group once a week. It is part of a
    Goldsmithing Guild and I am sure there is something in the SF area.
    Make sure you are on the mailing list for organization that do
    jewelry workshops.We have local successful jewelers that do
    workshops. This exposes you to new ideals or a new approach to
    things. I have a very good friend that I am contact a couple of
    times a week. She is really great because we are completely honest
    with each other about our work. So if what I am making is looking
    tired or I am just not working to my potential she will let me know.
    You really need to find someone that you click with, someone that is
    honest and will share their ideals. 

Happy Hunting!
