So...I Might Start Vending Again!
6 months ago
FurTheMore was a TON of fun! I went there as an attendee, and...since my lower back and my left leg has been giving me grief lately (bulging disc pressing against the sciatic nerve...it's not fun!) I borrowed a wheelchair from the hotel for the weekend, and it helped A LOT. For once, in a long, long time, I had a pain-free weekend! =D Of course, now that I'm back home, it's back to normal again, being in pain, but...what am I going to do? =P
While at FtM, aside from working on my tablet in my free time, I also hung out with
kalika at her table (we all carpooled together) and....she has been convincing me to try vending at furry cons again. And, after thinking about it over the weekend, I'm certain I want to try again :) Starting out small, mind you, but at least it would be something. So far, I'm only planning on trying for FtM next year. I don't want to do AC...not yet, anyways. It's gotten a heck of a lot bigger since the last time I was there. And...I also had gotten rid of my PA Tax License, cuz I was sure I wasn't going to sell at AC anymore. But for now, baby steps.
I will NOT be doing furry art, though. I still haven't gotten that groove back, unfortunately...Lord knows I've tried by drawing a conbadge for myself, and barely a third completed, I lost interest in it.
Instead, I'll be offering some polymer clay charms and earrings (I love making cakes!) and I'll have some of my amigurumi plushies available - they're my own patterns, too.
Also, for the last....I dunno....several years, off and on...I've been working on some chibi zodiacs. I had plans to have them made into a calendar, but after FtM, I now also have plans for making them into other things as well - keychains, buttons, stickers, enamel pins, etc etc. I'm nearly finished designing the zodiacs - I think after I complete Aquarius, I only have 3 more to go and then they'll be complete. In the meantime, I'm also looking into where I can get these images made into different kinds of merch that I can offer at my table next year. I'd also like to see if I can get a bullet journal book with them on the cover, with some washi tape made up of them (I love bullet journaling!)
So...that's my little update after FtM. Once I get the zodiacs complete, I'll post them here as well for everyone to see and enjoy :) Maybe once I get some charms and amigurumi made, I can also post them here, too. I'm still debating on whether to bring back my gryphons. I might. I'm still working on what I want to sell, and if I'll have room for it on my table.
Speaking of tables, I'm pretty much going to be over-hauling my table display, since it's horribly out of date now. That's another thing I'm looking into, as well as making a private Amazon wishlist of things that I want to get for my new table display. I might not also go under "HollyAnn". Maybe. I dunno yet. I was originally thinking of going by a cute name that's more of a "name of a cute store/shop", with a nice space/galaxy theme to it...but I'm not 100% sure yet. I'm only in the beginning stages of planning for things right now.
