I was wondering if anyone could offer advice with regards to labelling products for a craft fair. I am a textile artist who specialises in freeform crochet, so much of my work is of mixed fibers - which is what I state on my labels along with a "keep away from fire." I also embellish my work with beads, buttons etc so these are included on the label too. I also work in various plated copper wires and label accordingly. Do I need to seek advice from anywhere else or am I adequately labelling my products ?
Any advice would be most appreciated asap as I'm running to a very tight deadline.
With Thanks

I am looking for some advice and wondered if anyone could help ?
I have designed and made a collection of textile crocheted jewellery. The crocheted beads used in the jewellery are filled with a 30 mm polystyrene bead. I'm aware of the need of using polyfil for stuffing that meets BS & EU Standards, however I am using polysterene beads instead of polyfill stuffing. The jewellery is not a toy and is marked as so, including advice on medium and keeping away from fire - just wanting to check that there isn't anything else I should consider - would appreciate any advice.
Kind Regards

Hi everyone,
I would like to approach some galleries to see if they would be interested in displaying my recycled paper & wire sculptures.

Does anyone know the best way to go about it?
I tried with my paintings a number of years ago and it really put me off, they were quite rude and dismissive, ('Oh that's not what we are looking for at all') I left feeling very small and dejected.
Also does anyone know if they charge you to exhibit with them, or is it just commission if you sell?
After my craft fairs this year, I'm rapidly running out of funds...
Thanks all,
Sue

Hi I am looking for a leathercraft person to make a muzzle for my pug/french bulldog cross. I live in a take-away zone and she is always rooting around for chicken bone cast-offs when she's off the lead. This is not good as cooked chicken bones can cause internal injuries.
I can't get muzzles for my type of dog online, not clear why. These breeds can have breathing problems but mine doesn't and she will always be supervised in any case. I live in leathercraft central-Walsall-but a yellow pages search yielded no leads, all seem to be maufacturing for retail market. I want a baskerville style muzzle. This is like a cage. Hoping a craftperson with design skills will respond to the challenge. Local would be best as fitting may be necessary (although I could e-mail Piggy's measurements if craftsperson was confident). I will travel if necessary. I am not looking for a bargain and will pay a fair price. Hope someone can help me or knows who can. Thanks. Sydney

Hertfordshire Army Benevolent Fund will be holding a family Day on 22nd June 2008, we have a Fun Fair and Craft Fair from 3pm and a tattoo from 7.30 at Haileybury School in Hertfordshire - www.haileybury.com
