Carol traded in her fine arts degree for her other love Video editing and graphics. After a short entry level position at Pana Video, Carol moved over to National Video Industries. NVI became the largest post production house in New York and as that happened Carol rose to the position of Vice President and board member. Mark took his degree in lighting design and started White Light Productions. As a lighting designer he interned at Fiorentino associates the premier television design group and at Lincoln center. His love was bringing live theater to television, dance being his favorite. In addition to theatrical productions he became an expert at all manor of production later branching out to corporate industrials. He often said, I got the best business education from the leaders of all the fortune 500 companies while working on their events. Inbetween lighting jobs he squeezed an apprenticeship in making furniture with a an old theater co-worker. In that sense Mark took after his grandfather who was a master cabinet maker, making pieces that furnished the Kennedy Whitehouse. In addition to his training with furniture he also learned his remodeling skills in Princeton, NJ. All of their success had a price, they no longer had time for each other. To compensate they took 5 or 6 vacations a year. While wondering through the eastern shore of Maryland they stumbled on a craft fair. Indulging Carols obsession of jewelry they spent careful hours pouring over the beautiful hand made creations. Carol fell in love with a pair of cooper earrings beautifully burned in violets and reds. Mark interrupted the purchase by casually commenting they could make the same at home, in fact he had a sheet of cooper left over from a bathroom remodel. For once Mark managed to shock Carol. She simply couldnt believe he could make jewelry. So excited, they cut their vacation short and rushed home to happily create. By the end of the vacation they had turned out dozens of delicately hued copper earrings. After snagging the best for herself Carol brought the remaining dozen to work. She gave a client a pair as gift. The client had a brother with a gallery in Baltimore who was very impressed with the workmanship and knew they were the seasons hot item. He placed an order for 50, if they could be delivered in time for the Christmas buying season. After accepting the order Carol and Mark found out that production was a serious business, making 50 of anything was far different than a few over a weekend. A couple of all nighters later, and the first run complete, with the mistakes littering the floor, but providing a good education. The jewelry was a hit and they settled down to supplying a steady stream of earrings. Christmas came and Carols co-workers who vacationed in the Bahamas returned with jars of Seaglass for herl to turn into Seaglass earrings with her new found skills. By spring the hectic pace of Carols job caused her to resign. Carefully figuring their finances they decided that they could give the Seaglass jewelry business a year. In that time it had to be making money or Carol would be forced to return to a regular job. In support of Carols descision Mark dropped all but his largest clients, from the beginning it was a partnership. Can you imagine working with your spouse, let alone starting a new business with money tight?
