I found this interesting craft related web site (ArtFire.com) recently. I guess I’m late to the party as they seem pretty popular! What is ArtFire.com? I’ll let them (ArtFire) speak for themselves: “Welcome to Artfire, the premier online marketplace for handmade products designed by artisans around the globe. Our free community is designed for artisans to buy and sell their works, while celebrating unique handmade items and designs. It is always free for buyers of handmade products to search through our listed artisans, buy, or request for items to be specially made. No matter if you are looking for local handmade crafts or handmade products from artisans around the world, Artfire.com is the marketplace for you”.
The ArtFire website also allows glass artists, other artists, and crafters of miscellaneous items to sell their own items free of listing fees, final value fees, or renewal fees! There are two levels of membership: basic (totally free with some restrictions on listings) and verified (presently only $12.00 a month with unlimited listings allowed).
You will find Supplies and vintage items that support handmade artist’s needs on ArtFire.com also. Under the category “Arts and Craft supplies” I noticed there were 10270 listings! Under the sub-category “glassworks” there are dozens of listings for glass beads, stained glass pieces, tumbled glass, colored glass, lampwork, and much more.

This well known web site does much more than just try to sell you new windows.Andersen Windows web pages has loads of information to help you decide what style and type of window to choose. Look at the “information” page for tips on construction (for you handy people). Find glass window design ideas here as well. On other pages you can even “tour” great looking homes. I would rate this Andersen Window site as one of the best commercial sites on the internet, IMHO.
