Yes Sir.. i am with you there!
The soda rack thingy i spoke of says RC COLA all over it.
not to mention, i think it is in the rules for most of the local shows (the ones i have looked into anyway) that your tables must be covered and skirted to the floor.
On the idea of the pictures of the piece on a loop, my wife suggested that i do a white background shot of the blank, and then two or three through the process. that way it keeps them guessing on the machinery and techniques and all. it would just be several pictures of the piece in process... i think it would catch alot of attention. Especially on a head high 32" television.
I had another question too...
Do people touch your stuff?
I mean, i read somewhere that someone has a set of pens or whatever that they let people touch and feel for the fit and finish. is that the norm? and do people still try to handle the pens?
if a person is actually going to buy a pen, then touching two or three of them to figure out which one they want would not bother me... but if people walk up and handle two or three pens and then turn and walk away, i might lose it. that would make me wanna kick em in the shin!
I didn't touch anything when i went to the craft show the other day... but i had no intentions of buying anything. i just have this feeling that everyone is gonna want to pick them up and look at them and feel them and so on.
It will be interesting no doubt! If something happens, i will post a link to the coverage!!!!!!!
**************THIS JUST IN**********************
A man was arrested today at the 23rd annual Whatchamacallit arts and crafts fair for... of all things, kicking people in their shin bones. We tried to get a statement as they hauled him away in cuffs, but he just kept screaming "PUT IT DOWN. PUT IT DOWN"
