I wish I had seen this post earlier! I had the very same experience that you did around the same time period. I made some decision after that about my art (ceramics).

1)I don't have to sell at these "garage sales" posing as festivals. (somebody mentioned funnel cake buyers...that's just what I experienced.)
2)If somebody really wants art, they will pay for art.
3)I was trying to sell to the wrong market.
4)All of the advice and offers to buy your stuff just proves what I have come to believe...TC people are wonderful support for artists!

Your work is wonderful! I hope things got better for you and that your stuff is selling like wildfire now.

To the others who replied, I, too, will benefit from your responses, as they apply to me, as well. I'm trying to fit Tiki Oasis into my calendar in May, so hopefully I will see you there. We could trade notes.

Hang in there. Keep carving!
