Well, that is not happening here in northern Minnesota, where iron
mines areclosing down. I just did my Holiday showing, and sold only
one piece of my two lines of new work, plus a bunch of older, less
expensive designs. Sigh. The new works are now being displayed in a
gallery in the city of Duluth (TheArt Dock) where they have a much
better chance of being sold than they would if kept in my closet,
albeit at 40% going to the gallery.
