I am not even sure where to start. I have bben thinking of doing at least one craft show in the next year. Just to get my feet wet and to see if my stuff will sale in the craft show environment. I do know that I need to come up with a creative way to display my stuff from barrettes to jewelry and everything in between.
The first thing I think that I need to do is go to many shows and see what is out there. I might even take the camera in case I find something that might work. If I take any pictures I will make sure that I talk to the boothes owner first and make sure that it is okay.
I will also start talking to my artist friends and see what kind of ideas that they can give me or share with me. I found that many of the art and craft world are very helpful and willing to share.
I do already have the barrette holders. I would just have to figure out the best way of displaying them with the barrettes on them. Then how to I let the shopper know which ones of the holders are for sale and which are not.
I have a lot to think about and work on planning.
I enjoyed working the fuchsia and violet clay that I used in a petal cane that I made for the cane swap that I am doing. I decided to create a bunch of canes using the same colors in different ways. I added some white for interest. Here is the first barrette that I made using the canes.
It is a very interesting look. I am planning on “playing” more with the canes. I may even try my hand at a kaleidoscope cane with them. I did make some beads from one of them. I may do more beads as well.
