Bacon Cheddar Chive PotatoesThis is something I concocted one day when I wanted something a little different as a side dish. Prepare your mashed potatoes in your regular manner.

Arts & Humanities > Buying & Selling Art Marketing your artwork: 14 of 16
Marketing your artwork is for many artists a grueling task. Artists prefer to create, and not have to worry about the business end of it.

When I was a kid, there was little around for store bought costumes, other than a handful of those plastic type ones with the costume graphics printed on the front, and tied in the back. They came with one of those suffocating plastic masks that never seemed to have the tiny eye holes in the precise spot, and the breathing ho... More..
