There is no rhyme nor reason why people buy what they do. I belong to a weaver’s guild and we have an annual pre-Christmas sale. Every year, we try to guess what they will want… and are wrong every time! One year, we sell massive amounts of tea towels, and the next year, it’s scarves, and some years it could be rugs. We can never predict it!
If you have an item that is quite unique, very special, really cute and wonderful to touch, unlike anything they can find at WM, then they will sell really well. You have to make something that says quality all the way through it, is something totally unique and not duplicated anywhere else by anyone other than you. And it can be anything.
If you are going to make those acrylic embroidered plastic canvas things… well, that probably won’t sell that well. Or maybe in your area, they do! There’s no accounting for taste.
It is amazing what people will buy. It is equally amazing what people consider as art. One way to see what the trend is, is by taking a peep on http://www.etsy.com.
