I share the same reasons as many other polymer clay artists do:
1) It helps that there is not much capital investment in working in polymer.
2)

Doing show is a way to get to see people, test new designs, and learn what appeal to customers. The most enjoyable parts of doing a show is when repeat customers tell me how much they like my work.
Believe it or not I do get a bit stressed doing a show, so I just make more jewelry and that helps me keep my mind free of negative thoughts and worries. I'm not competitive in nature either, so I plan to have fun at every event and that helps a lot too.

What advice do you have for fledgling jewelry designers?
You've got to like doing it first, then it's downright doggedness and will to succeed in my opinion. But everyone has their own definition of success, so find yours and then aim for it everyday, however you can and live within your means. Sometimes that means only buying quality materials and trying new mediums and techniques when you saved enough money to burn. Another tip: earrings are recession proof!
