please ask judy :
about how she develpoped a relationship with artisans in india?

when you let go of actual production being done by yourself there are so many more variables. how does she manage that? ex: quality control. is that done on site in india (a manager there?) or by her here in the states.

yarn colors: does judy develop a color (in what medium: paint?) then send that to dyers to colotmatch on yarn?

thank you .

I am a designer but changing careers and have no clue about textiles and production.Whats the process to go from a design till the final product. How did you make the samples when you started initially. I am currently hunting for production units who can make small samples for me. How do you go about approaching shops when one starts out. <br/><br/>Love the simplicity in your designs Hi,

Not too sure how to price for this (without over charging) and still be able to make $$$. Would be great to have this be my day job!<br/><br/>Any advice on how to go about this? Seems like I would be better off not going this route and selling everything myself but then I won't get as much exposure.

I like the idea of producing the pieces myself, but worry about the possibility of becoming unable to handle a larger volume of production should demand require it (that's if I am to be so lucky!). Did you start by producing pieces yourself? And how did you transition to outsourcing the production? Also, in the beginning, how did you finance?<br/><br/>I love your color selection - so rich and earthy yet very lively. Lovely pieces. Yet with still more room to grow and create -- fantastic!
