Very nicely done. I think you should keep it natural, just my preference. Where did the pattern come from?

Pumpkin Logs as the couple calls them are really made of Pumpkin like cake that has some kind of I think cream cheese filling. Looks like the pumkin bread and filling is rolled into a tight tube like look. They were offering lil samples all day. Lots of takers including myself. Very Yummy.... The Logs were actually kept in a little fridge, so guess must keep them cold. Anyway they sold very well.

Think I did see couple booths selling real nice looking lil ornaments. Bet they weren't hand made. Don't know how well they sold.

Think I (we) need to get into making a product that a WOMEN or young girl likes OR maybe CHILDREN.

The gal next to me selling the purses traded me my scroll craft for a purse I wanted for my wife. She had them decorated with all kinds of different things from Sports to Hunting to Fishing to different special occasions. She did Great.... Danny :+}

Cuteness sells Danny. Trust me on this. It generally is the women that are doing the buying, at least at the shows that I have been doing. Make things that your wife will go .. ok when are you going to make me one? hehe. Not everything will sell every time. I have found that most of the time if a person had to break out more than $20 - $30 at a sale they will hold off and perhaps come back but most of the time will not. I have had good shows each time I go out but I pick which shows I do carefully. I tend to be the ONLY scroller, there are turners that attend but most of my shows are juried which limits the number of each style of craft.

General Scroll Saw Talk / 2012 Gingerbread Craft Show

« on: November 12, 2012, 11:26:34 pm »

Had a pretty good 2 day craft show this weekend. Lots of people both of my piggy banks sold very early on as well as a lot of my boxes and bowls. My miniature turkeys and Rudolph's sold out each day and I had to make more. I have one more this weekend and then I am done for the holidays. Here is a picture of my setup.

Nicely done Dan. Thanks for sharing it with us. I personally would use an oil such as tung or blo to do the finish and leave the color as natural as possible.
