<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So nice to meet you!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I started a blog after my sight loss. As a visual
artist, I had to fighure out how to move forward. I decided that I would write a
blog and address sight loss issues for visually impaired people like me, and to
enlighten other people who know nothing about sight loss. It was therapeudic for
me to do this and helped me to deal with my own situation. It has helped
me to verbalize what I was experiencing. It also helped me to find resources and
learn more about sight loss. It was a whole new world for me. It is a very
interesting world, really. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a website - it is for information only, not
a selling site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know next to noghting about developing a website,
but I put this one together with a program template. I wanted a site to show
some of the work I do. So many people always ask me if I have a website, so I
wanted to share my work and my ehibition schedule on it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You have a fantastic background - mine is academic
and museum/gallery centered. Before my teaching career, I was the director
of the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts in Pennsylvania. Most of my career has been
promoting artists, displaying art in exchibitions, and making and exhibiting m
own art. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am retired now, and it is so wonderful to be able

<DIV><FONT size=5>Thanks so much! I'm sure it will go well. It's a minor
procedure, but HPS (the type of albinism that causes my vision problems,
as well as all sorts of other party "gifts") affects blood clotting so
it's been crazy getting everything planned in case something goes wrong.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=5>I used to actually work in the trade show business. I
was an editor of an international magazine for people who plan large
trade shows. In 2008, however, my health problems were becoming more
frequent and time consuming, so I had to quit working. Now, I work
part-time, and volunteer full time, for the HPS Network. It's so great
to have found something that is flexible and can work around my medical
issues. The show in Miami is for GI docs. HPS causes Crohn's disease, as
well as vision and bleeding problems (and other stuff.) </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I do have a number of artist's friends who sell on
Etsy, as well as my daughter who sells her handmade cards
and some bead work there. I think we could figure it out and
I don't think it is that hard to do. I will ask them
for some tips. I would like to try selling there next
year, right now, just too busy with the holidays coming up.
And, I promised to teach 3 class es for the NFB
Krafters-Korner folks - pottery projects- so I am not going
to think about putting anything up on Etsy before February.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am also thinking it would be
good to start then as business is probably not so good. It
would give me time to really learn the process without
pressure - and by the time the holidays come around a year
from now, I would be prepared and have a store full of
things for sale.</FONT></DIV>

put together Treasuries in the past couple of

museum in Sept/October and it was the highest

25 years, I was told by the director. So, for now,
it s working for me the way I do it but I think

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>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

limited luck just posting photos of the work on

<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>

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