New Auction Site Offers Up and Coming Artists and Artisans a Better Way to Reach Buyers
(ContentDesk) December 5, 2005 -- It may seem like you can buy and sell just about anything through the online auction giants, but when a friend asked Cincinnati native and successful online auction seller Bob Schroeder for some help in marketing her beautiful handmade knit purses online, Schroeder was dismayed to discover that the big online auction houses were not necessarily the best places to showcase one of a kind creations. Whether its a painting, a hand made bag, or a piece of jewelry, these custom works of art need to be showcased against colors that dont overwhelm the artwork, and they really shouldnt be competing with every widget under the sun for the buyers attention, explained Schroeder. But even more important is that an artist sells best when they can display their work grouped together, in an online store or gallery , in addition to the individual listings. Unfortunately, every major auction site we looked at was just too expensive for a starting artist or crafter to afford one. Schroeders discovery led to the launch of AspiringArtistAuctions.com, an auction site dedicated to showcasing the original creations of artists and artisans that need help in getting their work exposed to the buying public. This is a niche market that has been under-served, and with the decrease in grants and funding for the arts the last few years, we think this will be a valuable service to the arts community , adds Schroeder. Too many talented people never have the opportunity to show their works - our goal is to offer a place where even the starving artist can afford to have their own showing! .For the first 3 months, artists will be able to list and sell their work free of
charge - no listing or end of sale fees will be imposed by AspiringArtistAuctions. Additionally, free online galleries will be available to the first 500 artists and crafters that register.AspiringArtistAuctions plans to showcase a wide range of original creations, including paintings, glass work, pottery, jewelry, clothing and fiber works, sculpture, furniture, garden and home decor. Essentially, says Schroeder, if its unique, original, and handcrafted - we will have a place for it .For more details, please visit the website:AspiringArtistAuctionshttp://www.AspiringArtistAuctions.com.

Purses
Women around the world consider a purse as a necessity. A purse has a lot more significance and importance than its function, which is carrying money and other items around in it. It is used as a fashion accessory and speaks volumes about the personality of the person carrying it.
In simple terms, a purse is a small and fashionably designed bag, used to hold money, keys, makeup and other items of daily use. Purses are also popularly known as handbags, although some argue that a handbag is larger in size. Purses evolved several centuries ago, and ever since, have been an essential fashion accessory.
The first purses can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, who used small pouches during religious ceremonies. Later, in the 14th century, purses were fastened to the waist with the help of girdles. During those days, purses were used as status symbols and were adorned with jewels and elaborate embroidery.
Through the 16th and 17th century,...
