As promised, this video shows some Maria’s art, she is quite busy promoting the work of everybody else, it occurred to me that we should focus for a bit on some of the things she is selling at our Open House, and will also offer for sale to people who cannot get to the Open House.

The vast bulk of our viewers and readers are scattered around the country, many have asked to see the art and also have a chance to buy it. If anyone is interested in the potholders or tote bags or yarn or wool, you can e-mail Maria and [email protected].

Our experiment with You Tube as an artistic sales channel is off to a great start, Maria sold a ton of stuff yesterday and the Open House is still two days away. This technology is liberating for artists who wish to do their work but struggle to reach their audience. I think we are breaking through.

The Open House will have a strong physical component, and also stretch beyond our boundaries, the Internet at its best.

Maria has sold every thing she’s made for more than a year (with the exception of her Electric Hair Goddess – more later). This is fun and creative. And we think, creative. I think Maria has been a pioneer in using new technology to sell her work. We are always exploring new and effective ways to keep our lives and sell our work.

I think these videos are a big step forward. Come and see.
