Thank you for all of your hard work in doing all of these videos. I just checked out your classes website and was shocked at the fact they are so affordable. I have been needing something like this, but everyone else is charging well over a thousand dollars, which is WAY beyond my budget. I will definitely be signing up for the larger larger package starting next month. You are a true mentor, and I thank you for that. So funny but before I even looked up the pricing I was thinking, "If the price was $300 or slightly more , I would take the course" and presto, I brought up the page, it there it was, and for the best package too. I'm just tickled pink and so excited.

Megan, thank you so much for your video! This video gave me some insights. Since I have a day job, it turns out that making collections is much more profitable in terms of time and money :)

Hi Megan, I love all your videos and I’m learning a lot. For what it’s worth, the background music is very distracting. Very! You give a good message. Don’t need music. Thanks!

Hi Dianne, sorry about that.

Hi Megan, it sounds like you are calling a line a "collection." What is the distinction? I've always heard of and seen other makers make and call a group of pieces that have thematic similarities a collection; such as "The Amethyst collection," or "The ocean collection," etc. (See Basia, Stardust Mine). And it sounds like "one-off" means one-of-a-kind. Is this a UK/other places thing? Sounds like your idea of a collection is more like a mass produced (all the same in multiple) line.

[@megan.collins]

Hello hello, the way I see it is a Collection is as you explained - similar in theme, and has the potential to be easily reproduced. It does not have to be reproduced, that's optional, but a lot of work would have gone into it, so likely that the designer would consider this. But again, it depends on how you like to work. 😉 One-off is one of a kind, yes. But then there is also the option of making a collection of one- off items, if you like to work like that. This could still be considered a collection. Hope that all makes sense. 😉 It sounds like you do 😊

[@missfabidia]

Hummmm...really interesting ! But how do you make sure your collections are all cohesive ? In terms of size, metal, designs, style...Since you outsource, do you have all of that wrinten in a specific document ?

[@megan.collins]

Personally I used to (as in I closed my business a week ago) make all the items myself so it was easy for me to see. But if you are outsourcing yourself, there are different ways. Either you are the one who will pick from a catalogue. Or you are the one who will deliver the designs to the manufacturer. You are always in the driver's seat. 😉

[@allanthompson9695]
