I enjoy all types of leatherwork but I found I just could not compete in the general market. That I needed something truly different to stand out, something Wal-mart just does'nt have and would not bother to ever have. Althogh ironically I made a mask for a wwf wrestler that ended up mass produced and sold in Walmart..that was cool/weird.

I have sold at very high end art shows where I might make a sale to a single collector but I found them not to be worth the steep entry fee.

I have sold at lower end craft fairs where everybody was sticker shocked at my least expensive items. So now I never sell at a venue that carries low end items as the crowd mentality gets in the "we expect it cheap" mode.

I have sold on ebay but found that ebay is best for either mass produced cheap items or collectables. But quality art and craft -not so much...

Where I found success was my own web site and specialty shows where people come to spend money and expect some quality. Sci fi conventions, Renaissance faires (the larger established ones) Mardi Gras in New Orleans..etc
