i want to make my living as an artist.....and have learned a lot from my parents who have been doing it for years. but also seeing how other people do it on the internet is more and more important for young artist. with face-book and etsy flickr and blogging i am trying to work my way around the internet. there are so many talented people out there it can be overwhelming but you can't let that stop you. i would love any advice you might have.

I too would love to know how to make a living as an artist, some of my great tips are making sure ur blog is known eg u could put the link in your flickr profile, and on ur etsy profile and swap links with other crafters. also use craftster.org and just keep uploading pics as i love to see them!

I think you are off to a great start! Etsy actually has some great resources to help you market your shop, too. And I'm sure the biggest thing is, if you want to be an artist, make art!
p.s. I am the proud recipient of one of your wool horses. It's my favorite piece of art!
