My most recent completed stained glass window panel was a collaboation with Chris Wasankari,of Heathersky Studio. She painted this wonderful acrylic floral, it was just so much fun, I had to ask to reproduce it in glass! This is the most intricate window I've done to date with 333 pieces.

Sister Raya's Painter's Market Place Honored me with this award. I'm doing the happy dance, it was so sweet!

Painters Market Place is pleased to announce Toni Rose (SuncatcherCreations on eBay) is the winner of the November Painters Marketplace - Marketing Champion Award. Toni qualifies for this award due to her exceptional efforts in marketing other artists who sell their artwork on eBay. Toni created a Squidoo Blog and invited many talented artist and artisans to showcase their work on her blog. Her Squidoo Blog went from a initial very low opening rating to a very high one in a short amount of time due to her work and perseverence. Toni is a prime example of how dedication and effort can increase the online exposure for artists, thus potentially increasing their online sales.

Toni joined Painters Marketplace as an art collector. She soon became inspired and energized to sell her own fabulous stained glass creations on eBay. When Toni started out on eBay she barely knew anything about computers much less selling online. Since this time, (about a year) Toni has become a successful eBay seller and learned much about online marketing. She went from being a standard member of Painters Marketplace to being a very savvy contributor. Way to go Toni!

My Squidoo reached #2 most searched today, it was very rewarding!

Well it's been a busy but productive week. Got my squidoo up and running with great links to the best arts and crafts on Ebay. When first posted it had a ranking of 8400, it's at 189 right now and still a work in progress.
Be sure to visit, it's an ART BAZAAR!

I opened a Squidoo account today in order to promote my own work but to also promote some of the fine artisan crafts people on ebay and some of my favorite fine artists, there are still so many more to list.I'm hoping interior designers and people shopping for gifts will find it and use it as a resource for shopping for original works.

I opened an Artcad Gallery today, perhaps it will bring more views.


They build you your own banner, pretty cool, huh?

As you know ebay's categories under self representing artists does not include fine crafts, which really bothers me as I feel all the fine artists would benefit also if the site offered unique gifts and home decor as well as paintings, which I believe people buy on whim and fancy. The fine crafts people are scattered throughout ebay, dolls in with antiques, stained glass in with dinner dishes and so much of what is interesting, innovative, creative and unique is lost to ebay and to the artists as well for lack of views, no one can find them! I've decided to find them for you and to categorize them the best I can. First will be all the handmade original art doll artists I've found, I'm sure there are many I haven't and I've asked a lot of art groups to help me.

The dolls created by these ebay artists are incredible, interesting and unique! What a wonderful gift for Christmas or a birthday, a real treasure and one of a kind heirloom from a loving grand parent. For an adult these dolls are delightful too! A feast for your eyes, enjoy!

How About an Art Bazaar? Please email your thoughts

Was thinking it would be so nice if we had an original art by self representing artists in all disciplines section on EBAY, like a huge arts and crafts fair, it's so difficult for all of us to be seen spread out through so many categories. It would be like wandering through a huge gallery for the buyers or do you all like it this way? Think we could ask ebay for that instead of the way it is? I know no one ever plans to buy at craft fairs but they always see something they can't live without, maybe an Art Bazaar so that people looking for unusual gifts home decor etc that wanted only originals would have something fun to wander through? Maybe if all the groups got together they would consider it, sales are abysmal .
Am thinking of collecting your thoughts, composing a letter if there's a positive response and opening a group where the letter will be posted and everyone can sign.

After Ting Shao Kuang's Distant Dreams This panel measures 26x26 has 168 pieces and 26 different types of glass.I would love to take credit but I can't, this painting was done by Chinese artist Ting Shao Kuang, this is just my stained glass rendition of his incredible art!
