Thank you for inviting me into this wonderful group. I am a silver artisan, largely self-taught and creating for the past 20 years. My jewelry is composed of sterling,stone cabochons, faceted stones, carved bone, beads, found objects and personal items. One-of-a-kind, I specialize in unusual necklaces and pendants. I sell through 4 West Florida galeries, directly, and occasionally on line.

On canvas I think of PeterBrueghel. In metalsmithing I think of Bruce Metcalf. I couldn't see any merit in his creatures until I saw a video where he explained their construction and their meaning.Understanding the artist can turn the mind around 18…

Though "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and much of the edgier "new" art features unusual elements and materials, I think its hard to be judgemental on this topic. Sensabilities are so varied and what may shock and disgust me, may intrigue you…

I've sent additional information you requested - is it sufficient? Feel free to edit out web sites. Do you want additional photos of the duck piece? Pat Lafaye

Thank you very much for including my necklace in your Birdhaus exhibit; I know I'll be in very, very fine company. Shall I email you directly with the dimensions, etc. that you requested? Pat Lafaye

Hi Cindie: Haven't figured out either etsy or 1000 markets, but do pretty well in my galleries. ArtFire is a new one to me.

Hi :) I am trying to remember how we did that. I think when you are logged in there is a small x in the corner of each section. Therefore you can drag and drop the photos (or any section) to the top. I will keep on thinking and try to figure it out.....my memory is going!!
Hugs, Laura

I just saw your comment left May 18th - don't know how I overlooked it - just been too busy to check this site. Hoping to get better at it now that things have calmed down!
I meant to ask you if you have tried Art Fire and Etsy. I've done very well on Etsy but haven't figured out what the key is yet to AF and 1000 markets.
If you figure out how to sell on 1000 markets, let me in on the secret!!!
