[Jewelry making - Article 00923] - [Orchid] Texas, bricks and mortar outlets

    I went to Dallas/Ft. Worth over Easter weekend and was amazed to
    find that what used to be the artsy district in Ft. Worth is now all
    chain (pardon me) "crap" stores. Very few stores are individually
    owned. I did find two shops that have handmade items but all of the
    jewelry was very small and forgettable. 

    Does anyone besides me still offer one of a kind jewelry with
    cabochons? Or is that a thing of the past? Until this year I had only
    offered my jewelry at juried art shows and saw other "substantial"
    pieces made with cabochons and very little of the lightweight
    trinkets. My jewelry is contemporary--i.e., not Western or
    Southwestern. I decided the shows were not a way to make a living
    due to the expense and the many variables that cannot be controlled
    but I certainly am confused at what's for sale in this area in the
    cities. 

    I am looking for bricks and mortar outlets. Anyone who has
    suggestions for me for places to market my jewelry in Texas (or other
    states too), I would appreciate hearing from you.
