{ Inside the Studio } "Metal Candy" Jewelry Collection!

Last month I raved about a little gem called Kickstarter! I couldn't get enough of the platform, ideal for all different types of artists to apply for funding from like-minded peers! Well, this month, I invite you to be an integral part of Sugar Pop Boutique's ♥ NEW "Metal Candy" Jewelry Collection! Exclusively available via Kickstarter. In exchange for your support, I'm offering a varied selection of high-quality, funky rewards & incentives, including LG Design & Clipart Studio iPhone Cases! ///

Here's a special "sneak peek" at a few designs 

which will be created for the Metal Candy Collection!

{ Cool Find } Free artist market research & product funding!

Ok, I'm definitely *psyched* about this new web find! It's called Kickstarter, and if you're an aspiring artist of any kind, then you'll be just as thrilled over this site as I am! Quite simply, Kickstarter is a "new way to fund creative projects". There are already a million ideas flowing through my head...!

Browsing through the site, I'm impressed by how many amazing projects are listed. It's a cool, functional resource for allocating back-up funding. This is a non-conventional, but very easy way to test market your idea on a community of peers. If your project reaches 100% funding then you receive the monetary funds needed to bring your idea to life! This is by no means a draw-back to this site - it just means that the money raised will only go to ideas that are supported by a large community of like-mind individuals who are just as enthused about your project as you are!

AND, if you support someone else's project, you're entitled to receive some very cool kickback! Whatever final product is produced from the money raised will be distributed in terms set by the artist to the community of supporters! It's all based on your contribution amount and the details of what you'll receive is listed on the project's information page. Tres chic!

Check out some of the items listed  under "graphic design" (below), and then feel free to scour the rest of the site! It's filled with some pretty cool ideas and talented artists! And who knows, I may be on there soon enough... *wink*
