A european version of etsy.com has appeared online:
DAWANDA

I was considering putting my work on etsy to see what feedback I get, but this european version allows you to pay in euros instead of dollars – I for one would feel more compfortable with this.

Here is a serious contender as my competition:
LUCY JANE BATCHELOR

I love the presentation of her products in what looks like a tabbed book, the whole website is beautifully presented and her creations are delightful!
Running with the eco theme, style and humour Lucy Jane’s prducts are the closest I have found to what I am doing.

I found this link through the Crafts Council listings:
Kunsthåndværk i Centrum
KiC is the largest censored fair for crafts and arts in Denmark. The fair is a returning event since 2005, and it takes place every year around the beginning of November.

The opportunity to show at this type of event would provide an in-route to Europe and Scandanavia (where there is a strong history of hand knitting and felting that is still going strong). I also have family in Denmark which could help with connections. Applications for November 2009 are to be in by 1st April 09.
