Hi!I'm Elizabeth Bennett (and yes, I get lots of comments about my name for those of you who are Pride & Prejudice fans!) and I'm a fiber artist from Carrollton, Georgia. I'm a long time weaver and kumist, and a relatively new dyer/surface design for garments artist. I'm just starting to do shows again since I was fortunate to be able to retire from my day job in December. I'm looking to start slowly. I did one successful show in December, hope to do a couple in spring/summer, and 4-6 in…See More

Shane Reed said… - I started my photography business in 2008. Shortly after starting my business I started shooting alphabet letters of architecture and other objects found in urban settings. These letters can be used to spell words, or names to make contemporary art for you home. This project took off, and became an overwhelming success. I used the money from selling my alphabet letters to fund my photography business. These letters are fantastic sellers and I’m thankfully too busy with my real passion to have time to sell them anymore. So I’ve decided to sell the high resolution digital files for a fair price to the right person who is interested in making an abundance of extra income. This idea will be unique to you, and if you're driven will make you lots of money. The market is enormous! If you’re interested and would like to discuss things further please contact me atshane@reedphoto.ca and please check out our alphabet photography atwww.reedphoto.ca click on “client” menu and enter the password “abc”. We have b&w and color alphabets, and I’ve also custom created numerous word art pieces with quotes. You’d receive everything with unlimited reproduction rights. The letters can be put on anything you can think of or you can sell them just as letters to go in frames. I always just sold them as letters for $5 per letter. The profit margin is very high as it costs about 10-20 cents to print each letter and they sell for $5 each. I look forward to hearing from you.
