Don't sell wholsale until you are ready to produce items by the dozen and price accordingly. Don't let anyone talk you away from that part of your plan. As an artist you will always want to create what is in your heart and people around you will love it, but that isn't necessarily what sells. You will find that you need to also create items that will sell which may not be exactly what you want to create, but it will pay the bills and afford you the chance to create things thet inspire you. That is the hard part of being an artist. You Also have to be a business manager and the two Rarely see eye to eye. Listen to the manager sometimes and the manager will have to hear you sometimes. I hope this makes sense??
