Yep,same guy!What we've done is alter the exposed eye by cutting the mold so that we can put in a large glass eye instead.Looks totally cool!And,you can get lots of different colours of eyes(I use Michaels for this) to compliment your face colours!
Cheers from here

Happy to hear you had a great experience Rick.
Looking forward myself to seeing your work.

I remember my first show (woodwork) like it was yesterday. I was so excited and worried it would go poorly, people would laugh at my work.
The show was a huge success. The other venders welcomed me with open arms.
I was hooked. After that success was measured in how much fun it was to be there. The money was secondary. I just wanted enough to keep at it.

They were great days.
Christmas shows were the best!

Hey Rick --- Big Congrats! Sounds like you were a hit. The finishes sound very cool...any pix of the pieces you sold?

My wife,the photog in the family,will get them on later this week.The affair was fun,although attendance was down.Apparently,in the community of Sechelt,where the craft show was held,in the years when the Writers Festival is going on as well,the crafters get more sales.This year,there was a "Show and Shine"for the auto crowd.Not the buyers that the writers are(sorry,Billie Ann!).
cheers from here

Rick, As much as I like hypertufa and concrete pieces I love my corvette more.
I forgot to proof read those photocopies I made for you. I'll be sending them to your B & B address this week.
Congrats on a great show. Billie

Nice to hear you did well. It sounds so exciting. I love going to craft fairs (as a customer). Most of the time things are a bit too high priced for me. On the other hand we have actually bought some nice but expensive things too. When you see something you really like the price isnt as much a problem.

This fall my friend and I will try a craft table at a local fair. I would like to do some small things that arent too expensive but are unique. And actually selling SOMETHING will be such a thrill.

TAnks Rick, I'll check into dat, Good idea !

(((*-*)))

Your experience sounds like some positive strokes on the back and the bug has hit to do more.
I am pleased for you.
The eye that you talk about, it looks like an actual eye, or is it a colorful glass gem, no iris pupil etc?
Cheers from here to there,
Dena

Just a large(about 1 inch diameter)glass marble.It's effective.Pix to come by Friday!

I'll throw in some kudos here. Congratulations on your success. I visited a local place called "The Arbor" that sells all kinds of concrete statuary, fountains, stepping stones, and planters. Your prices don't seem a bit out of line with what I saw... and I'm in the southeast where most things are considerably cheaper than the west coast.
