How do I sell my crafts other than E bay & shows?
I am a multi medium artist. I can even teach, but can’t seem to attract but a few students. I paint on cnavas, eggs(ostrich, goose chicken) carve eggs (ostrich, emu, goose,chicken) poly clay by it’s self & with eggs (goose, chicken, turkey, quail) paint & carve gourds, crochet, make jeans pocket books etc.

You sound like a very very talented person. Maybe you can try some local gift stores and ask about selling your items on consignment. Good luck and happy crafting.
Try Etsy.com, try getting consignment agreements at local shops, & keep networking!
You might try http://www.etsy.com, which promotes itself as the place to buy and sell all things handmade.
what about http://www.craigslist.com ?
http://www.lillysplace.net/ is another place. I just found out about this site from another question posted tonight. I’m unfamiliar with it, but you may want to see if you can do something there. My daughter is a decorative screen painter. She gives craft demonstrations several times a year at 2 museums in our area. I’m sure your craft of egg decorating would be of interest to museums in your area. Contact them to see if they would have an interest. You might also contact your local community college to see if you could teach a craft there.

Most cities also have what they call family days or festivals that you might want to try. They usually are alot of fun and also draw a large crowed from the area and surrounding towns. look into something like that.
I know i was looking for doing the same thing and this is what i was told. you can sell your items by setting up a website and putting pics of the items of them up on it, on Aol hometown.com, on various yahoo groups some of them will allow u to sell your items on their webpage as long as the item is related to what the group does. hope this helps if u need any more help plz feel free to write me at crochetlady1956@aol.com if u have any problems just let me know ok write me an tell me the things u sell and maybe we can go into it together

You should try Hyenacart.com
I’ve got a nice experience with Etsy. But I read here that there are actually many places… I come from Poland and I can give you several places there that I discovered. Only they are all polish-only::

Good Luck!
Maybe go to fairs, flea markets, or just around on the streets (depending on where you live)
