Thanks for posting that link ... I'm still not "thinking" onlne/computer oriented enough to look for things online first rather than think "find the magazine" ...
Good article and you've obviously put a lot of effort into making things work well for you, Suzy ... I'm too far off the main local roads for that kind of a setup and don't have the type of thing that would work either.
The little local town tried to get a farmer's market thing started last summer but it didn't work ... not well advertised/attended and too much competition in nearby towns with well established farmers markets. I'd hoped to be able to take the live rabbits to that, but didn't work. Since I can't drive myself with the vision problem, getting somewhere and staying all day is a problem ... someone has to be home to do chores and there is only two of us! I'm going to try to see if I can work with the local farm store this year with the rabbit sales and possibly one or two pet stores that are within 20 miles or so.
I don't do any kinds of crafts, just artwork ... pencil and colored pencil drawings ... and there aren't any art galleries close enough for me to work. The local market in this area is for fine crafts, not fine art, so even if I could get to the art/craft shows locally, the buyers are looking for a different type of "art".
This means if I do develop a way to successfully market my artwork, it's going to have to be all marketed online through the internet, in some way. So far I've got one page up on my farm website for the art

and a blog just for the artwork
http://oldgreymareart.blogspot.com but I need to figure out ways to "market" more effectively.
Because I got into the computer/Internet thing rather late in life, it doesn't come naturally to me, unfortunately and it's been a slow learning curve. I managed to do it with the horses but so far I don't seem to have managed it with the artwork.
