I'd be cool with a more informal meet-up!

Sounds good to me, but can we make it the 11th? Sunday is my only full day off; Monday night and Friday and Saturday until 3pm, so if we met on Saturday the 10th I'd have to leave Rockland by 2...and if you want to meet at night, I just can't go. :( I work too much!

Hey guys,
I haven't had a sale yet :( Any suggestions for my site? Should I be posting in the showcases and such? I don't really know what I'm doing as far as promoting myself goes, but I'll try just about anything. I do pretty well at fairs and I'm lousy at pricing and showing my work at galleries/stores. So far no luck, although everyone tells me I am underpriced for the work I do. Help!!

karl-- I think your pricing is right on but I would work on your photographs some more. The silvers are too reflective and it's hard to see the details and tell what the materials are. Also, the 1st image of the first few items in your shop are a little on the dark side.

And use up all 14 of your tags! For instance, your flower earrings could also say "spring, sterling, silver, small, freeform, cute, MAINETEAM" :)

karhumoon, I love your jewelry! Consider writing a shop announcement as well, just welcoming people to your shop. In your profile, maybe adding a few lines about yourself as an artist. People like that stuff, I know I do when searching other shops. Your photos could use some work (I echo what Jamie says). It's very hard starting out. You'll get the hang of it and what's great about this site is that you can edit edit edit your heart out.

What craft shows have you done?

Has everyone had a chance to sign up for the private forums yet?

A note about the private forums: I haven't added very many people yet because there are a lot of names I don't recognize... I'm waiting on allsey to confirm them. So if you've signed up but you can't see all the forums, that's why! Thanks for your patience.
