Crafty Tuesday: now with more Random Thoughts
Posted By Kathleen David on September 20, 2011
I find that after I finish a show, it takes me a little while to reset for the next thing. It is like my brain shuts down the creative side for a bit for a breather.
This week for me is about clean-up from DragonCon and inventory of materials for the next set of projects. The cleaning seems to help my brain reset as well.
Yes, I know I have a funny brain. Been living with it my whole life.
I also have some decisions to make about various things including what to do with the stock I created for DragonCon. Some of it will be on display at New York Comic Con at Peter’s table. Some of it is going to, for the first time, be put up somewhere on the web to sell. I am thinking Etsy but maybe E-bay or I will give a go at both.
I also have some critters that didn’t get finished for DragonCon that I am putting ahead for next DragonCon I think. I am now looking at D’Con as a year to get ready rather than just the summer. Also there are a couple of conventions in between.
Repair is on my mind as well. I need to fix the problems I discovered with the First Class Suit and poor Lockheed took a serious beating at the Ren Fair and needs some First Aid stat. Also a few finishing things on various objects that didn’t get done in time. I also need a good pair of black hiking boots that fit my feet rather than sort of fit my feet before Halloween.
Then there is Halloween itself. I am tempted to make the Scary Godmother display I have been talking about for ages. Jill knows I am going to do it and has given me permission to recreate the characters as puppets. I might start with Bug-a-Boo and go from there. Either way, Halloween is around the corner.
I am keeping swaps and trades to a minimum. I have one I need to do for my group that we always do at Christmas. I have my thoughts on what I want to do but am waiting to see who I have as a swap partner.
So that is what is on my mind right now in the crafty area.
I throw the floor to questions and suggestions on how to sell art work on the web.
I am grateful for materials I forgot I had but they are still good.
