I am going through a phase. Trying to figure out the best way to make money quickly so I can pursue a marketing idea that no one has cornered in the market yet. But I don't know what to do. I guess I could do some craft how to books. But I don't know what to do. I wouldn't know where to start. I can't afford an agent. Got an suggestions? Blessings!!!
Thanks Diane, I am a mom of 3 beautiful children 5, 3 and 1, so based on that I have to work from home, I love hand crafts and recently came across cold porcelain, I think what you can make with it is beautiful so I decide to make some little dolls for my daugther and now I want to learn to do it more professionally so I can start my own bussiness!!! I hope I can learnd from you and everyone here because I can't go out to take clases, so my computer is my teacher!!
Thanks Diane and I will be here bye bye..............
Thank you for the warm welcome... I'm new at all of this but I found something that I really enjoy doing, building and designing stuff from wood... I have a fair collection of ships, planes, animals ect. I would like to learn more about anything really... I'm a draftsman for a Structual Engineering Company in South Africa...

Diane is a great virtual friend and collegue for quite some time now. I recently showed her some webpages; (a business to business proposal) that seemed not to work. Diana immediately came back with very useful comment and some great designed buttons.

I loved the video, well done! I have now finished my BVA (Bachelor of Visual Arts Degree0 and have applied for the Masters Degree. I am really a sucker for punishment. Hopefully I will get a teaching post at the college this year - we'll see. However, carry on with the crafts and hobbies, not nearly enough people participating in SA.
Hi Diane, many thanks for the personal welcome to your site. My background is contemporary applied art working in textiles and various mediums which influences my ceramics. I therefore tend to be very textural and decorative and work both flat, tiles, murals, etc. as well as in a sculptural way often inspired by the human form.
Recently moved into doing workshops, helping others be creative so not producing much myself.
Your site looks great - could spend hours.......
Hi Diane and thank you for the welcome, Im not sure what I want to do right now, I guess Ill try a few things till I find something Im happy with, trouble is Im interested in so many things
Hi Diane! Thanks for the welcome. Very nice.
Making chocolates from the beans to the bar. That is what I am pursuing. I also make my own molds. I think that I have some of the items that I am making into molds for chocolates are on my blog page, I think. Also love cold porcelain, which I really, super-want, to get better at. I know Sangeeta is a member here, and that is why I joined at first. You have a great website here, and I am going to promote it to the two lists that I am on.
The picture is of my doggie, Quebeley. He is my other hobby, LOL! Keeping him clean and bathed!
