Ruth,
I just checked out the market site, that's nice that they advertise for you. Also nice that they say when someone will be there so you can have return customers. Good Luck at your show.

Thanks, Alecia Alecia, I have good luck with using nail polish remover. I just soak them over night and c...

Not always the case though for years I had worked with glass and made pieces that were just exploring the...

I don't understand why you'd want to get involved in that- I keep the tax separate; I'm just collecting a state-mandated tax (and not getting paid to do it either!). If customers complain, I tell them to vote next time (no I really don't tell them that, I say I'm just collecting it). And on a high ...

Bonnie, Any modern digital camera with more than 2 megapixels will do the job for photos that end up on the web. If they end up in a magazine, consider that they will be printed at 175 dpi so you should be able to get a decent 4x5 to 5x7 when printed. For conversion to slides, I would look at 3 meg...
