Crafty Tuesday Thinking a Different Direction

Or Brainstorming Part One

Caroline and I have applied for a table at Anime NYC if it happens. I figure a table is a good barrier and it gives Caroline and me a home base at the convention. The cost of the table is next to nothing as it come with two badges and it gives us a chance to earn some money.

Caroline will be selling her artwork both as prints and original pieces. 

I am sorting out what I can sell there.

Of course, there will be puppets. I am going to go old school and make a Harlock and Esmeraldas to begin with.

There are so many other possibilities of what I could do.

I think plushies are a must. I have almost too many ideas in that realm. 

I also want to make dolls of various Anime characters that I think people would enjoy. I don’t want to do Chibi dolls (Large head and small body) but closer to a cloth ball joint doll. 

I might make one or two dolls as well.

I also want to make some clothing for ball joint dolls because I can make really cool clothing. 

That’s a lot of ideas that I need to trim down.

I am avoiding any style that is already made to death and there are official versions that are available for sale. 

I am figuring anything I don’t sell I can toss up on my website for sale.

I am going to do a number of Furppets for sale since they are pretty easy to make and people seem to love them.

We are going to need to sort out our booth and how we can set it up. I have looked at the rules and know what dimensions I am working with. I also need to make sure it packs up small and fits on a dolly.

Back to school is going to help because they have the college dorm items for sale.

But first I need to make my pie in the sky list then the more practical one.

I am grateful for opportunities to get my work in front of new eyes.
