Weekend Crafting

This weekend I will be crafting..

Clay Ornaments for Halloween
Hinged tin play sets
Paper Mache' houses
And I will be pairing up my already made monsters into monster packs of 2 again.
I feel the monsters themselves are super adorable and unique and they should definitely be priced so. I think a pack of two monsters should be $4.00 and for the mini pack of two monsters inside their sweet paper mache' house should be $8.00. The work I put into drawing each room and painting the boxes should not come up so short.

My tin play sets are priced fairly as well.... I draw the background (any you can think of) then I take a paper mache' box (their all 1") and paint them add the small doodled rooms inside and then theres a tiny home for the tin set. It takes me about two to three days to finish these....so I have a funtastic weekend of crafting insanity! and these are most usually all finished up then.


I may be able to create maybe one or two coat and hat hooks too.... I will need my hooks and wood scews first.

NEWS

I decided to re open my Etsy shop.

I'll offer local pick up still, it makes it easier though since if your form the area and you would like to come pick your order up then I can give you an online coupon that makes shipping FREE!


I know that I always shut etsy on and off but I really think I was only mad at etsy because I wasn't selling much and it's not the site's fault.

I have new items coming out soon and I will update everyone on whats going on later on in the week or tomorrow.

Solid Ideas

The Plans>>>>>

I came up with a cool idea that is also functional as well as art....

Hand Painted Coat and hat hangers, Mail sorting wood key holders,And some felt coasters, and door hangers or ornies.

The first painting to become a coat and hat hanger will be..

The Pumpkin Patch

 The hook will go on the bottom!

 

It will look adorable on your wall!!! Since it's a wood coat hanger you would just need to drill it to the wall but I might just get some metal round hooks then you could drill those onto the wall instead....

 

I'll be getting ready for my second show on the 19th soon and hopefully have at least two more coat holders and two of the wooden key holder mail sorters too!

Ideas are a brewing!!!

Alright, I'm set with the bunches of monsters I have all made. Now I'm going to get more hinged tin play sets started....and I'll be getting more smaller tins with the lids that pop on and off for the "Pick your own" play sets! The kids and their parents got a kick out of those and the felt carpets I glued inside....very cool indeed.

NEW project brewing..

Round Paper mache ornaments that already have the string handles attatched.I'll paint up some Christmas ones and coffee themed since I LOVE coffee! OOohh I will also throw in cupcake themed ornaments too.

The plan with the paper mache ornies is to paint them up fancy and add on some fancy crepe paper and maybe glitter? Or some hand made clay embellishments.

I do think that maybe the singular monsters were a bit high and the Bubble Monsters went well since they were $2.... I'll have all the single monsters back to $2. Scrap Dollies will be $1 play sets will always be $12 because they take the most time to finish. I think I'll work on the tins separately and get those done before I start on any other monsters.


Supplies in check...
I need

Round paper mache  ornies
Paint (I adore apple barrel!!!)
Fabric Markers
Maybe some cool trinket boxes
Small tins

I hope to get paypal on here soon!

Woo Hoo!

I did swell at the Festival!  I made a few sales which is enough for supplies!
I was in a room full of sweet people and I had some cool folks stop and make great comments on my monsters. The kids were digging the toy sets.....They really loved picking them and checking out all the different monsters I had out which was neat to see.


I sold a few scrap dollies...they may be 1.00 each since their scrap dolls...and the singular monsters will be $2.00 each now.The toy sets will do a lot better as soon as I get more made to pick from.

I had a ton of fun hanging around other crafters and getting a few local contacts for pick up orders in town!
