I am working in H1B. Can I sell arts and craft that I create on online forums such as Etsy or offline at flea markets?

The H1B allows employment in the position listed on the petition for the H1B employer, only. H1B workers cannot engage in independent, self-employment – which is what it seems would be involved in creating arts or crafts for the purpose of selling those items. (05.Jan.2015)
