thanks.
ebay sucks for selling art. a lot of things won't sell within the time limit and then you're out of luck.

How do you market your stuff?

update, cause i know you care:

So the show is tomorrow.
I sold 3 larger pieces on line that i intended to sell at the show. I have been working like mad to make 3 more , plus some smaller things to make up the space.

Last night I check my email, and I sold 3 more small things. Yes, it's great, but
a. now i have to work in my studio tonight to restock that.
b. I would have sold it for double the price at this show (it's in a wealthy lake community)
c. I'm hoping the jewelry I'm selling there actually sells, because the markup is goofy cool, and i'm still selling it cheap.

ok, yeah- i know this topic is boring to most of you. you all suck.

It's intresting to me, cause I'm gey like that. I really think you should hook up with a blog that leads to ebay. Put your regular price as the minimum, and see how much you can get. That way the customer will decide how much they're worth.
I can't remember how much you said you were selling for but you should be able to get a grand for some of those.
In about a week I'm entering 2 paintings into my first contest ever. I'm a little nervous.

really? that's awesome!!!
can i see them? pm me links!
i really want to see.

I'm not selling the glass for much yet- i wasn't confident enough in my skills to feel comfortable using too much glass and wasting it, so some of them were thin or uneven (which my friend said added beauty to them, but i don't know). Now i know how to work better, and i'm becoming more proud of what i've been making, so the prices are going up. I made a few larger things that i'm going to sell for $100 each, and then lots of medium size (like $60) and tons of small gift stuff ($20 each type of things- but those are the big profit makers).
hold on, i'll pm you a GREAT site to sell stuff on.
