Good morning crafters and artists. I joined Art Fair Insiders yesterday and look forward to being an active member. What started as sewing craft items for my granddaughters turned into a fun, full-time job. With the help and support of my husband we are going into our 4th year of attending craft fairs in Florida. As of yet have not ventured out of state. Would love hearing from any of you with tips, advise and info on any events in my area.
You need to be a member of Art Fair Insiders to add comments!
Hello Jean and welcome. We are glad that you have joined us here. I am not from Florida either so I can'offer you any help there either. We do have a crafters forum here. Why not go in there and post a question there?
What kind of things do you make?

Good morning, Jacki. All of the gift ideas I make are sewn from fabric. I don't know how to add an attachment so can't include a picture, but just some of the items are adult and childrens aprons, craft/activity buckets, crayon roll ups, tooth fairy pillows, wine bottle/gift bags, dog accessories-i.e. bandannas, leashes, doodie bag holders, potato baker bags, pot holder towels and grocery bag holders. How about you? What is your art/craft? I will try posting on the forum page. Thanks for the greeting and for the advise. Jean
Yes, Jean, you can add photos to your page. Then, we can look and see the work you do. I am an administrator here. I used to work for a fine art photographer who did hand colored black and white photographs. I did all of his framing. I love being involved with the whole art fair world. It is exciting and I love to see all the creativity of the artists. You should check out the crafters forum we have here, too.
