ditto here with my beadwork, particularly the seed-bead stuff (pouches and the like). it's VERY labor-intensive. i KNOW the average market won't bear the cost of $45-50 for a pouch barely big enough for a pocketwatch; i've tried to sell them (granted, that was in the Midwest).
it's okay if you spend an entire summer producing stuff around the clock, and then spend the fall split between shows and more production... it _can_ be done, but it's no way to make a fortune. most folks who do it barely manage to supplement their spouse's income enough to justify the diversion.
