Reflections, Renewal and Custom Jewelry

I sat listening to the breakers of the Pacific from the Fireside Motel in Yachats Oregon, a quart size Mason jar of Couch Select Lager (pronounced Cooch, like the street in Portland) from Burnside Brewing Co. resting, half-consumed by my tablet. Reflecting, I began to think of the whirlwind activity of the last two years. I first noted the Kickstarter project, B9Creator, sometime in late 2012 as a friend of mine who knew of my recently renewed  interest in CAD-CAM mentioned it to me in passing. By the second B9Creator Kickstarter of August, 2013, I was fully engaged with the inventor of this technology, Mike Joyce, and soon after became the sole worldwide distributor of his paradigm-busting technology.

I’m proud to say that together, we were able to elevate his fledgling project to the point that there are now options for B9Creations and the company is leaping forward with innovative technology and a new corporate structure. Not wanting to leave my home in Eugene, OR I decided to turn down the position of VP of Sales and Marketing with B9Creations.  I remain connected to the B9Creator project and will continue to sell these incredible machines while I return more fully to my first love, designing and manufacturing meaningful jewelry for the most wonderful clients in the world.
Gary Dawson Designs never went completely to sleep but was low-key for a while as I focused on helping Mike J. build his project. Now, with a completely updated website, featuring both “fine” and “fun” jewelry, Gary Dawson Designs is coming out of its peaceful slumber.
We invite you to pour yourself a glass of your favorite beverage, peruse the new website, offer comments and please think of us for your custom jewelry projects.

    I have an intimate familiarity with both the materials with which I work and the process of working with people to create meaningful designs.
    These passions, and my interest in utilizing appropriate technology to manage my business and connections, inform my current business model

    And...
    I love to write.  I've been frequently published, mostly within the jewelry industry, but on topics as wide-ranging motor-home reviews to metallurgical science.  

    Oh yeah, I love to cook and eat well so you will see me diverting to food and travel topics here too!  Have fun reading and recommend me to your friends!
