I have noticed that most of the ones that seem to rise to the top are people who have studied design and honed their craft. So I guess the cream will eventually rise to the top. I think also doing shows/festivals and building your own fan base is very important.  I think most importantly, you have to have really unique and original products or at least a fresh perspective on a regular item, hence, no ‘craft store kits’.

The weather is warm, time for some fun new colors!
