Actually, Paul, one reason I was trying to find help was so I could do a show and your workshop on the same weekend in March. I guess that won't work. I appreciate all the comments. I was thinking it would be hard to be away from the booth, and you all confirm that. I have been able to get friends t...

I am getting ready for spring shows and trying to figure out how to clone myself. I work a full-time job and find it hard to do a 2-day weekend then jump back into work on Monday. So I am thinking of hiring someone to relieve me some during the weekend. What wisdom do you all have about this that yo...

This site has very interesting information on marketing art work. She describes what should be on a business card, display design, etc. I thought it would be of interest to some of you.

How much are you selling the ornaments for? I know it depends on the area, but I would like to have an idea.

Say, would you tell me a little more about your ornaments. How big are they? How much will they retail for? Have you done them in past years? What was popular? Xmas tree shapes? Or more abstract? How are you hanging them? I have made a bunch of Xmas-colored bracelets, but didn't think of ornaments.

Sadie,
What sterling silver strip do you get? How thick? Dead soft? Thanks.
P.S. I get mine finished bales from Blue Moon now. I highly recommend them.

Dolores, I went to your web site. Check it out y'all. I was fascinated with the pet and people portraits. I gathered my co-workers who are dog-lovers and everyone was impressed! Re: bolos. Maybe they would go here. The "market days" that I am going to has lots of Americana, and this is Tex...

Has anyone tried bolos for men/women?

Several people have asked me if I have any fused glass jewelry for men. I don't, but am thinking of creating some. Does anyone else have experience with this? Is there demand/interest for it? What colors, images, etc have you used? Any ideas are welcome.

I got the an email announcing Paul's expanded site. http://www.izm.com

Check it out! I have been wondering if he was stashing cabochons, and indeed, here they are.

Thanks for all of your comments. I did end up getting some spray and treating the canopy. I wanted to do it while it was clean and dry. Yes, the weekend weather is going to be great. Any of you Central Texas folks want to visit me? http://www.gruenemarketdays.com gives all the information. It is a s...

I just bought an EZ Up canopy. I understand that in rain, they leak. Has anyone used waterproofing on theirs? I am thinking that it would be best to do it now while it is new if I am going to do it. I am getting ready for my first weekend. Getting all my ducks in a row; all my pins glued to backs; a...

Melissa, they are really beautiful. I hope many people get to see them here! I am attracted to the glass and wire, and the way you have used them. Thanks.

Well, my little show was a success in many ways. I got to do a dry-run for the weekend show coming up in 10 days. I have improvements to make to my set up, purchases to make, etc. And I enjoyed the people who came by. I only sold about $95 worth of jewelry, but my artist neighbors said that they had...

This week I am doing my first show. In Austin, the businesses of South Congress Avenue host First Thursday. It has been developing to kind of a drinking party, but I decided to set up in hopes that the months leading up to the Xmas holidays will attract shoppers looking for gifts. My preferred locat...

Thanks to everyone who has responded. I can take a bit from everyone's setup. Ernest, I went to your site and enjoyed being able to see the images of your shows. Great glass.

Hey, friends. I am going to be doing the show scene working up to the holiday season. I am very excited and am planning my booth. I have looked at the web site for Dynamic Display and they are beautiful, but are more than I want to invest for right now. Has anyone tried the tables that REI has that ...

OK, I got it. The answer is simple. I need to get some etching creme. Charlie and Steve--I have appreciated your work and your responses to other questions. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have been using Bullseye 90 and dichro to make jewelry pieces. I have sheets of irid that came in a Bullseye pack that I now want to use. I am so accustomed to the flashiness of dichro that the irid sheets seem very palin. I would appreciate comments on using irid in design. How shall I approach t...
