Update Note, 2/10/10:
If you follow the link here, you’ll notice that LabelTulip.com is not currently operating. I don’t know what prompted Jennifer to take down her website, and I don’t know whether this change is temporary or permanent.
Still, I do feel this show has value in illustrating an important idea: if you want to start a crafty business, take a look at all of your skills, not just the crafty ones. Every job you’ve had may bring you key abilities that can be part of an innovative new business.
Whether Label Tulip has succeeded or not, this idea is applicable to you and your creative business endeavors. So, enjoy.
