You can create a website. Get an ebay.com, etsy.com, ecrater.com, etc. Promote, promote, promote. Make sure that your photos are top knotch and they are presentable!! Give out free samples!!

Pirate Bear I made - Taken w/ 35 mm camera and scanned into mu pictures.
Thanks! I like the samples idea. I had a web site once, but nobody ever looked at it. I need to learn how to promote.

Is there any craft shops where you live that would sell your crafts on your behalf? Many of these shops love to show other peoples work so customers can see the various materials that you used to make them. You could try Ebay, Yahoo auctions, and many other auction sites on the internet. Craft webrings are another good source of exposure. Do you have a webpage that you can feature your finished articles with pictures? You can link exchange, Traffic exchange...there is quite a few ways of exposing what you are doing

There is the site www.etsu.com that allows you to sell or buy handcrafted items only. It is a rather popular site and there are lots of craft items on sale there. I just registered there and my id is linawinx. Give it a go!

I to am looking to market my crafts. One of the ladies on Mylot was sweet enough to give me this link and I will pass it on to you. www.craftconsigners.com I am interested in doing this, but had to email them to find out whether my crafts were to large. I love santa and father christmas. How about you what do you make? do you have any pictures to post?

yeah, ebay is a good place to try. place your crafted goods in DIY handmade and hand crafted. there is a pretty good demand for things like that especially if its something you could sell under the most recent holiday.
