Greetings all, I am an NC lapidary artist with lots of stones - finished and rough as well as specimens, booth, tables, decorations, a professional attitude, and Subaru stationwagons to pack it all into. Anyone that has done any vending at festivals knows the issues that surround every venue - getting there, setting up, watching your goods, constant booth attention, lighting, costs, gas, etc. I want to find a group of artists that I can travel and set up with to split the burdens so we can all have fun and make money. Ideally I would like to do a couple of shows this winter and find a core group for a planned tour in the spring or summer. I am completely serious and ready to get started. You can check out my rocks at www.exquisiteopals.com - please note I am a stone cutter, not a web designer. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from some interesting people.
Hello Opals, I sure know the joys of vending. This summer that's how we made our whole income. We are glassblowers and set up a portable studio for sharing our craft. With or without the mobile studio, minerals and glass look great together. My partner is also into making silver jewelry. We hope to do glass and silver with gemstones soon! Do you have a good line on mexican fire opal? Or synthetic Gilsons? Anyways write us back with more details ect and we will collaberate. Peace, Sheila and Mike
