easy! There is now a new section at the QCC site under Trade
for Market
Hosting FAQ's
**With the number of new houses and individuals growing every day, it has become necessary to ask people attending markets to declare their affiliation so that market attendance checks are issued to the right places. If you are hosting a market, it would make your job easier if you encourage those attending to comply with this request.
We interviewed the proprietor and artist, Lyssa Lynn MacKay, and asked her a few questions about the business recently:
Lyssa: Yes ma'am, that is correct.
Rae: Wonderful! Could you please tell this Questcoin Reporter about Portraits by Lyssa Lynn and what you do? What led you to the idea of opening the shop?
Lyssa: Well, I've always enjoyed sketching, but the thought of opening a shop to sell my pieces came when my patrons, Bastian and Kyral VanSandt, saw what they called raw talent and provided me with an assortment of mediums and other supplies.
Rae: ::She smiled brightly, nodding.:: What inspires you to choose the images which you create? Could you tell me what pieces might be coming in to the shop in the near future? A sort of preview of what we can expect for the holiday season perhaps?
Lyssa: I've found inspiration in almost everything I see. There is an inherent beauty in most things; you just have to find it. I have to say my biggest inspiration these days is my family, my husband, James, and our children. As for what may be coming in the near future, I'd have to say whatever my muse leads me to create. I am working on a landscape right now, and I have had interest in a few portraits as well.
Rae: So you do your own pieces as well as commissioned work?
Lyssa: Yes, ma'am, although my commissioned pieces tend to be a bit more ordered, since I have more specific guidelines on what my customer is looking for. My freelance pieces tend to get a bit..... chaotic, at times.
Rae: Chaotic or not, you are a very talented artist from what I have seen. Thank you for your time, and kindness with this reporter's questions.
Lyssa: Oh, it was my pleasure. Thank you.

QCC Voluntary Mailstring
This mailing list is made up of QCC members who have consented to be on it. The purpose of this list is to allow business announcements and flyers to be sent to those groups and individuals that welcome the information and intend to distribute it to their members. This mailing list does not replace any mailing lists compiled by individual businesses or event hosts from their own patrons and customers.
Being a member of the QCC does not automatically put you on this list! It is by request only. Sign yourself up if you want to receive Voluntary mailings.
Mail List Alert
QCC Member Mail List
With the ease of use afforded by the web based QCC Member List, the Council has decided to open the list up to all QCC members. Up until now, we restricted it to GCs and treasurers because of the constraints put on us by AOL's mail system rate limits. Taking the mail list away from AOL has been just one more step in freeing the QCC from such constraints.
Any QCC members who wish
to be on the QCC Members' Mail List to receive QCC Updates directly
from
the Council should send a note to council@questcoin.com
to be added to the list. This
does not take the place of the Voluntary
Mail List. Sign-up for the Voluntary Mail List is still self service
and
you'll find the sign-up page here:

**Mail List Notes: We don't care if the addresses on the mail lists are for RP characters or not. If you have AIM characters and you want to put a non-RP address on the mail lists to get the QCC notices, that's fine with us.
