Hi from Southern California

Just wanted to say Hi! I just joined and am so glad to have found this website.

I hand paint on glass and am breaking into creating new designs. I've been painting

and selling for the past 5 years. Last year, I tried doing a lot of the smaller markets

since they didn't cost much and found that it was a lot of work but didn't make

much money doing them. This year I'm going to try to do at least one bigger show

every month and see how that works. It's a little nerve wracking putting out so much

money in fees and not knowing how much is going to come back in but I think at this

point, since I have been doing this for awhile, I have heard about which shows are the

best in my area. I look forward to meeting you!

(My daughter, in the photo, is 9 years old and she also paints and sells!)
