<DIV>Hi Heather, try out the internet. I heard places like Ebay are a good market. State and local fairs are another great way to either show off your work or sell it down the road. Art festables are a great place to show off your work so that you can get a sense of how it will do in the market. They are just some ideas that I got since I worked in the Oregon State Fair and heard about the internet and got a rag rug displayed in a place that normally shows off art instead of crafts this year. I hope that they are a help to you! </DIV>

<TD vAlign=top><FONT size=5>I'm also very interested in hearing about how others market or sell their work. Part of my trouble is I never have much in stock at any given time. But, should I manage to build up something, I'd love to find a way to do something constructive with it. I have hung some of my work at local coffee shops, but it never really sells. I thought maybe it was me, but when I spoke to others who have used the same venues, it seems like they also haven't had much luck. At least the artwork isn't just sitting under my bed though!

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi fellow Artists,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My name is Jeannie, I am a totally blind artist who is trying to find new ways of creating my art. I love working in clay and did love to paint until a year and a half ago when I had to have my eyes removed. Still healing and wanting to find new and exciting ways to share ideas and be able to talk with other artists.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I just turn 50, I have been married 30 years, have 2 kids and 3 grand kids who I call my grandflowers, because their names are Lily, Violet and Magnolia. I am from Lacrosse WI. </FONT></DIV>
