How to Get Beyond Fear & Perfectionism When Creating & How To Use the Die Cut Machine

How to use the Crossover II Die Cut Machine and how to work through fear, perfectionism and begin creating anyway. Join me as I demonstrate how to use the Crossover II Die Cut Machine and explore all the things you can do with it and then I will walk you through my creative process. I discuss the different ways a design can take shape and how I deal with perfectionism, fear and the ever evolving beauty and joy of creating something from nothing.

After graduating from Parsons School of Design, I began my career in fashion design and freelanced both in New York City, as well as London. I designed hand knits for Elle Magazine and was the editor of the Hand Knit Page before hand knits fell out of fashion in the early 1990's and the page was discontinued. In 2008 I launched my jewelry design business, designing fine jewelry in 18 & 20 Kt Gold with gemstones that I selected for each piece. In 2015 I found Sue Spargo through her Craftsy class, and my life took another turn. I have been designing in some form since I sold my first felt embroidered xmas tree ornaments to a small shop in Northern California when I was 15 years old, and have never looked back. And while I've had detours along the way: had two children, worked at an advertising agency, got into acting in my early 20's, published some articles for various magazines and wrote for the Huffington Post for a few years, I have always come back to designing. It is my first love and remains so to this day.
