    Hi - I was inspired by Lee's post - I too was a one-of-a-kind
    jewelry designer selling to private clients and at parties and
    decided to learn wax carving and make a production line so I could go
    wholesale.  I studied with Fred DeVos in NYC, learned wax carving and
    I love it and Fred is a tremendous teacher - I also love being able
    to make what ever I want to when I want to.  I work with people to
    cast and finish my work and I do wholesale and retail shows and I
    still do make one-of-a-kind orders and sell privately in my area.  I
    do have a lot of machinery so I can finish a piece if I am in a pinch
    but for the most part the part I enjoy most is making the original
    models; closing myself in my workshop for long lengths of time and
    creating ... I know many designers receive the same enjoyment from
    drawing and working in metal. 

Best, 
Jennifer Benusis
