Archie Zietman Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) TODAY IS MADE OF WIN!!!!!!!!! I had a booth at the Gloucester farmer's market, people loved my stuff (gave out many many business cards), and I made about $100 in 3 hours, and lined up several commissions: 2 big fancy spatulas, a pair of big fancy salad servers, a set of hinges, and an organic form lantern holder and a handle for a nice push mower. All on a rainy day. Outside. I also worked 5 hours in the morning (landscaping), and I have the day off tomorrow to do those commissions. Woohoo!!!!! yay!!!! There were also tons of people whom I knew there, which was good fun. Thank you all for being so helpful to me over the past few years, helping me to get this far in smithin'.

bipolarandy Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Much more profitable than the wobbly headed Geisha doll caper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Congrats Archie! Good for you. However, not to detract but I must, simply MUST hear all about the, "wobbly headed Geisha doll caper!" This has the smell of a legendary tale. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug C Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Archie, When are you doing this again? Are you doing any demo's else where? I live about 40 minutes away and would like to come see your work. Maybe learn a thing or ten from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyancarrek Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Good on you Archie! Nicely done - a word of warning though . . . it can get addictive. Pretty soon you'll be getting all antsy to do the next one . . then the next . . then the next . . . Glad you had a great time!! Ok Randy, wobbly headed Geshia girl caper? You gotta tell us about that . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
