    What Tim says above is just what has given me a great year in '07. I
    have sold a lot of jewelry to associations and nonprofits this year.
    It started decades ago, with my interest in Feminism, and has
    expanded to be a good niche. My advice is, follow any niche that you
    truly relate to, and develop its possibilities. There is a need
    there for identity jewelry and fundraising items, and there can be a
    good chance for social fulfillment as well as profit. This doesn't
    have to be just for high-minded ideals, either. Love Scottie dogs,
    for example? Find the breeders association, and tempt them with
    adorable designs. This can be a lot of fun! 

    We ALL have production capabilities, with the help of casters such as
    our own Daniel Grandi of Racecar Jewelry. He can help even an
    inexperienced modelmaker in getting a usable, reproducable design.
    Just ask.
