What's that going to be, you may ask yourself.
Truth be told, I am not sure.
Here are some ideas I am kicking around though:
- Putting my doilies on canvases. BIG honking canvases, which of course, I cannot afford. So I need to figure out how to get said canvases at a price I can afford. Free would be good but......
- Framing my doilies. I can get cheap frames at thrift stores but mainly they have to be square which is tricky. Also do I want to include glass? I hate the thought of shipping glass. Sincerely. The other thing I could maybe do is buy one or two good frames and show people how the doilies would look framed and let them frame the doilies themselves. (I guess I could do that with the canvas too. Like, have one big canvas, put each doily on it for photos to show how they would look. I could even offer to put a doily on a canvas if the buyer would be willing to pay for the canvas and extra shipping and handling)
- Presenting some canvases/framed doilies/12 pt balls to a new art gallery in Champaign. Sharie says she knows the guy opening it. That takes me back to numbers 1 & 2 though.
- Doing grab bags of my older work to make room for newer stuff. I thought maybe a "Gift Giving" bag with a gift for a child, a woman and a man; a bag of fashion scarves; a bag of crochet flower pins
- A "Build a Hat" listing letting shoppers pick the color/size/style of hat and then adding a motif or flower pin.
- Barefoot sandals. I could stockpile for summer and use up my crochet thread stash.
- Last but not least...burning all my craft stuff and getting a real job.
Any suggestions will be considered carefully. Now go make me some cookies I'm hungry.

Thrifts shops for canvas too, paint over and apply your doily and why do they have to be square, I think you could have more fun with design that way... Whatever venture you choose, I know you'll be awesome at. Personally, I think you need to stick to your artistry as you are amazingly talented...
