I never got paid what my work was worth, my choice I guess-simply loved creating and having fun.

When I shop there I am looking for a bargain. I think these are too wonderful to be a in craft shop, but a high end shop would be better, where others appreciate how special these are.Designing Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251360862186639955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863472031485123752.post-77124712836880189012007-10-24T08:36:00.000-07:002007-10-24T08:36:00.000-07:00Love, love these little creatures.Love, love these little creatures.Designing Fairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251360862186639955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863472031485123752.post-87806486182875698042007-10-05T20:32:00.000-07:002007-10-05T20:32:00.000-07:00Thanks, May.As a matter of fact, I live in an up a...Thanks, May.<BR/><BR/>As a matter of fact, I live in an up and coming touristy area and we plan to open our own shop, hopefully, soon. I did see a beautiful needle felted bear sell on EBay for more than three hundred dollars. It was quite small at around 4", but it was very realistic and, frankly, wonderful. The buyers are there, that I know. Whether or not my work will measure up, remains to be seen, but I have learned that if you value your work, others will, too.<BR/><BR/>:)Bettina Makley, aka Fairywebmother.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05670912274183143252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863472031485123752.post-48032695423708299882007-10-05T17:51:00.000-07:002007-10-05T17:51:00.000-07:00Bettina, Farmer Jack is wonderful!You, fortunately...Bettina, Farmer Jack is wonderful!<BR/><BR/>You, fortunately, have ample talent so that you may be able to get what amounts to a reasonable "hourly wage". In all honesty, though, I don't think it'll happen on eBay. You may have to seek out other venues for your art.<BR/><BR/>Do you live in or near a "touristy" area, with shops that might buy your work or take it on consignment? I would think you'd be able to sell your work that way.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck, and keep giving your all to your art!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><I>May</I>May Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542296637383079708noreply@blogger.com
