probably be promoting lots of others and helping them by including them in the

                                limited luck just posting photos of the work on 
                                Facebook. I also set up an Etzy site. It hasn't 
                                been hugely profitable, but I also haven't given 
                                it the attention and promotion it needs, so I 
                                can't really whine. It is cheap! </FONT></DIV>

                                <DIV><FONT size=5>I thought about splitting a

                                <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>

                                should I manage to build up something, I'd love

                                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
