Kurt Anthony forwarded me a link to the following reversible baby hat which got me thinking...The musicians post went down well so why not post a link in the comments to something you have personally made, whatever it may be - arts, crafts etc.
http://jonpenryn.blogspot.co.uk/ Shameless whoring of what i did in the not to distant past, that last bowl, i didn't get paid for and i sort of lost heart really. Anyway anyone interested in how to hammer bowls etc is welcome to ask anything..
Not so much the postage as the being let down. Fairs/exhibitions yes done all that (in fact there a few bowls off at an exhibition i put in as a favor to a friend) but you know, it wears you down after a while. Awful lot of "galleries" use stuff on sale or return as window dressing and really sell cheap "gift ware" from India/China. that long walk to go get the unsold stuff, if indeed they haven't "lost it"....like i said its sort of dispiriting.

Was it the expensive postage that put you off? You should try fairs/exhibitions etc, stick at it!!
