duck the malls

Filed under Hobby

Here’s the belated update that many have asked for. I wrote this up the day after the event:

H stayed up all night last night making a whole new line of things, a set of cloth bead necklaces that are pretty awesome. H’s parents took the kids overnight, so we (well, I) got up this morning, got our lamps, tables and electrical ready and then went to the Capitol Theater to set up for the Duck the Malls event. We ended up laying a couple of folding tables over several rows of seats and setting up our table.

I think we had more stock than any of the other 40-50 vendors, who were selling everything from woodens swords to cool lamps made out of plates and hubcaps to large felted mermaids. In any case, we filled our table with display, and laid it all out on green silk. I was pretty beautiful, and our table was constantly busy for the next five hours. We sold less than a third of our stock and ended up covering all our costs for everything (materials, etc) and making an extra couple of hundred bucks. Now anything we sell will be profit. A couple of store owners asked if they could carry H’s work, which is cool.

Update:
H’s stuff is in a couple of stores and things are selling here and there, but we haven’t done much else with that besides buy some interesting materials on eBay.

Several of you have asked for more information, and for prices. Rather than directly answering that question, I’ll say that we’re working on an Etsy site, which will including pricing and ordering information. Hopefully that will be online in the next week or two. Thanks for all your support!
