Answer 1

I know i'll sound silly saying this, but you can always find a lot of helpful info on any subject by going to www.google.com I did the same yesturday, i was trying to learn how to do knitting and I went to google.com and found at least 3 good sites on how to do that!
Also try www.yahoo.com search engine it's also very extensive. :)

You can also go to a supply store like an arts and crafts store to get some ideas there. :)
Those are good too!

Well i hope this helps! :)
Good luck :)

Answer 2

You might want to try researching ebay to see what people are selling there to get an idea of a market. You can reach a much wider market through the internet than at a local flea market, but it does take more effort. You can also so there what sells, what other people are doing, and find sources for wholesale supplies for crafts, as well. Good luck!

Answer 3

go to local flea markets or craft shows and see who sells what to get an idea what moves. ask some questions. what are the fees for a stand? where do they get their material at wholesale.

Answer 4

you could put some of your creations into a pennysaver type magazine (where you can show what you make) you could also offer clients what types of things you can do. create one for a wedding, a baby, and just everyday life. good luck! i know how tough it is to get things out there.

Answer 5

yes you need some dried plants or flowers (pressed) and glue.....
that looks nice on cards

or something with wax and colours.... you can scratch the wax of after painting.

origami cards are the most artful ones i have seen so far.
maybe you shoud try that.
