1. Agreed...I had a booth at a craft fair a few years ago..I decided that I would rather poke my

eyes out with a knitting needle than do it again..ever.

3. this one is a strange on, too.

it's my neighborhood fair, so i feel like it is sort of a duty. but my neighborhood is pretty strange. lots of social service agencies helping lots of client dealing with lots of stuff. not much money around, but there are quite a few artists.
so, i had a few sales today, but only because i have learned the hard way that what sells is a low price.
tiring, tho. so tiring.

2. I'm sure it's great, deep pleasure for some people to bring their "Art"...

..to an exhibition
Sometimes the creativity can be awesome....and then there are the people who paint Coke cans with badly-drawn flowers and call it Art.

Ahh..No.
If I can duplicate your "Art" in 3 minutes, It's probably rather lame.

8. try to have pity and find something to buy.

the guy with the lowest prices is the guy most desperate to sell something.
