    Hi, it is Terri again. Like you I can't handle a job where I have to
    be there and told when I can and can't have my own time. We are not
    rich, I like a white picket fence and my husband likes Corvettes.
    Does this hint our way of life. He doesn't have a Corvette but a
    little old antique tractor. He has his own business and a garage
    ready to set up for "his" jewelry business. He is 62, I am 57. I
    love to create, I don't care what from food to jewelry but what I
    love most is sharing my passion with others who appreciate it. I
    have been an artist since a child starting with pencil drawings and
    like many artists flipping around to find a niche. However money had
    to come in there somewhere and I was a little unwilling to let go of
    my one of a kinds to do more affordable for the general public, bread
    and butter. 

    However I did but now with a following for my Indian Art, I am having
    a ball with my jewelry but again I don't wish to be the girl next
    door stringing beads but doing unusual one of a kind pieces. So this
    art show bit. i don't want a shop, 10-5 stuff and hope to just do a
    few good shows a year and build a reputation. It is nice altho not
    the same ethnic following that I have friends in the retail, however
    I WILL NOT (as I said before) scarifice price points to get my pieces
    out there. So big question.....websites.....I have heard 
    good and bad...........Answers, suggestions? Terri--
