The Handmade Marketplace: How to Sell Your Crafts Locally, Globally, and On-Line - Kari Chapin

Review

"For folks who create unique things with a view to getting paid, this book should prove quite useful...for makers at any stage, from just-thinking-about-it to ready-to-quit-my-day-job." (BookPage )

The Handmade Market Place is a fantastic resource full of useful tips and guidelines from top D.I.Y. insiders. Their testimonials along with Kari Chapin's easy to follow outline and the fabulous design work of Emily Martin (aka the black apple) makes this book a must have for any makers library. (Faythe Levin, Director and author of Handmade Nation )

My name is Kristy and I am a librarian with a serious case of crafting ADHD and if I am lucky every now and again one of my friends will let me loose in public with a glass of wine! I am inspired by vintage and handmade and my favourite thing is to mix the two! I love vintage embroidery and buttons and hand printed fabrics and I like very simple design. When it comes to my bags and purses I like to let the relationships between fabrics dictate - colour and texture and pattern are primary when it comes to fabric choice!
