<DIV>Hi Heather, how screen reader user friendly is the<FONT size=5>
Etzy</FONT> site? I use JAWS and if I want to sell rag rugs over the next
year or so on that website, I will need to know so that if it isn't, I can try
to contact the people who run the site to fix any problems. </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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=5></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=5>Thanks for the ideas - keep them coming! </FONT></DIV>

<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! </FONT><BR><BR>

<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>
