A couple of different things I have been thinking about.<\/p>\n
DragonCon heads the list because I need to figure out what I am going to show there because that needs a lot of lead time.<\/p>\n
In this mix I need to put things for Shoreleave including costumes for Mystery Trekkie Theater (And they have picked a good one this year). Costumes for the girls for Shoreleave if they want to which I would rather figure out now rather than at the beginning of July which has happened a couple of times.<\/p>\n
Also for DragonCon I want to get one spiffy costume done for me. I haven\u2019t made myself a costume in ages. I have a couple of ideas but nothing really jelling right now.<\/p>\n
In other time commitments I have the DiscWorld dolls, my ATC doll commitments, and a few other potential projects.<\/p>\n
It is a good idea to know how much space you have in a show and try setting up your display before hand. See if you can figure out what is going to go wrong and what looks appealing to the customer. <\/p>\n
I have one idea that would take up most of my table and I am trying to figure out if it would be worth my time. The WOW factor would be up there but I have to get permission from the original artist to sell it. I do have permission to create it. Also there is the economic question of sales and price points.<\/p>\n
There is a discussion in an artist group I am part of about pricing and how scary it can be to raise prices. The assumption is that if you raise prices, your customers will go away or constantly complain about your raising prices. And maybe it happens on occasion but you should have such problems. And, in my experience, raising prices will weed out those who wanted cheap stuff rather than your work in particular. I decided a number of years ago that I would price my stuff at a reasonable cost point so I would make back materials and something for my labor. I also know that those who have bought my pieces really wanted them. Making things shoddier because it would be cheaper is not the way to go. <\/p>\n
I do need to make a list of what I want to get done by DragonCOn since I am going to have to submit my paperwork soon.<\/p>\n
I have a wacky idea for a plushie that might have to be made to get it out of my head. I do know that I will be making a Ship from Ben 10 this year. There will probably be a Phluzzie or two in the mix. Maybe a Sarah Jane puppet in honor of Liz Sladen. Plus I want to give a go at Steampunk dolls again. <\/p>\n
So that\u2019s where my brain is at right now.<\/p>\n
