The first time I had a booth it was by invitation at an art museum so there wasn't much competition and it was somewhat prestigious >;). I only sold a couple of pieces, BUT I did gain a client who kept me busy for the next few years until I moved away. She went on to buy over 25 necklace and earring sets from me, all custom designed for her. She also paid me well for them!

That said, the few other times I tried a booth it was not worth it. Most folks liked my work but wanted it made custom for them. I found I didn't show well to the general public and was not into making cookie cutter, repeated designs for quick sales. I have too much of an affinity for my "StonePeople" and did not like people with rotten vibes handling any of my work!

Still haven't set up the enamelling, yet, but I am looking forward to it and think I may get into selling a bit once I get more practice. My teacher said I seemed to be a "natural."*bg**
