<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi <FONT size=3>Kestrell, maybe we can start a blind artist

we would want someone who knows what they are doing when it comes to making

<DIV>I've bought from Etsy many times, and it has a pretty good
representation of artists with disabilities and art and crafts which
integrate braille, including jewelry, pictures, and baby blankets. It
is possible to build social circles on Etsy, and I've often wished that
there was a blind artists community on it, but I'm not sure about all the
ways to connect and create communities on the very extensive
site.<BR><BR>Kestrell </DIV>

<DIV>Hi Heather and Kendra,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>There is an on-line marketplace that a number of my friends have
tried and some are even selling from it. It is more craft based than art
but it seems to have a pretty broad interpretation of craft. It is Esty
and their site is:</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=5>Thanks Kendra. I've had some 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></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=5>I thought about splitting a table at a fair with
a friend. I need to get more work in stock though, which with life
right now, probably won't be realistic until the spring.

<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! Grin!

<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi fellow Artists,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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>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>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Nice to meet you all.</FONT></DIV>
