Hi Noel,

    I have seen many replies to your original post about the merits of
    selling production vs. one-off, but I haven't seen any response to
    you as far as *how to* connect to your market and sell what you are
    already doing if that is what you wish to do. 

    I have been doing business through a website called
    Wholesalecrafts.com for almost 2 years now and in the past year it
    has really taken off. There are many artisans on there who sell
    one-off and very limited production (2-3 of the piece)... not
    necessarily jewelry, but a variety of other media. It is a different
    beast than selling a production line, but from what I'm hearing,
    they are connecting with the galleries that *are* seeking this type
    of work. 

    It is something that you may want to look into. If you join, there
    is a forum for artisans to use and I know this subject has been
    covered. While there is a lot of low-end bread and butter stuff
    available there, there is also high-caliber, high-dollar work as
    well.

Good luck!
Carrie Otterson
