So
if you have been following the blog for more than a
month, you might have realized that the sales have dwindled considerably. I don't know why, but when May began, someone turned off the sales. So I only had one seat to carve up tonight, the muskie, and it took very little time at all. I'm going to try to influence the universe with my mind and see if I can mentally
start up the sales once more. In the mean time, I headed out to the tree to see if I could add some eyes to
the carving and possibly some hair. Even the
shop cat came out and kept me company. Unfortunately, it got dark before I could get a good picture of the progress. So while the sames have taken a dive, Cheryl has been
brainstorming
on some other product that we might be able to sell. ( happens every time our sales slump) So I'm going to attempt some origami jewelry. Some beetles and frogs encased in resin. I'm curious to see how they sell, or if they will sell. They had to be super small though and I might have to work on a beetle that will fit inside the mold. I'll turn them over now to Cheryl so she can set them. Will post on the progress....
Finally!
After a month of working on it for a few hours at a time to keep her sanity...Cheryl finished the Tree skirt! It looks AWESOME! But , of coarse, Cheryl thinks it is filled with flaws.
I have to remind her that it IS hand made and it is WOOL felt with a cotton fabric backing. ( Meaning that one material is bulky and the other is thin). All you have to do is pick it up and FEEL it to see what the difference is compared to the stuff you get in the store.
Cheryl is thinking about making another one with only 4 panels so the price 
can come down a bit and there will be a lot less work. Every time I see it I think it is going to be a big hit. We just have top price it accordingly.
