Well, I would suggest checking into some of the smaller craft sales out there, like the ones held at churches. Small, neighborhood festivals are also a good place to sell your stuff. The big craft shows and festivals tend to have high booth fees, so I don't recommend starting there. Personally, I started by selling to friends and the people I and my sister work with, and was lucky enough to find some cheap craft shows at which to display my wares. I don't really sell on line at this time, I've been a little to lazy to build a web site, but that's another avenue to explore.
You might also do some online searching or check out a book at your library, there are several good books on craft marketing. You could also sign up for some online beading newsletters, they often contain marketing advice.
Thanks, Trav. I've had my reasons for taking a hiatus, but I won't bore you with them at this time. I can no longer Gather during work time, which is a huge bummer 'cuz I really miss the lounge, but I should be on in the evenings from time to time again.
