Iguanadon Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) I had previously mentioned that I've signed up to do a Seafood, Jazz and Blues Festival in October and was looking for special items for that event. I was able to find these patterns, done by the same gentleman who does all of the animals that I normally do. I'll have my usual set-up, but simply adding these items. I have one more to do, a Fiddle. The saxophone was a royal pain in the rump... Not difficult, just more detailed than most things I do... I'll be charging a premium price for that one. The festival is also a full 2 day event which will be a new experience for me. So far I've only done my local farmers market which is 5 hours every Saturday.

country girl Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Those are cool. Do you make the patterns yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguanadon Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Those are cool. Do you make the patterns yourself? I wish I was that artistic. The patterns are by Harvey Byler and his animal puzzle patterns can be purchased from Wooden Teddy Bear http://www.woodenteddybearonline.com/ (look under PATTERNS and PUZZLES) Interesting story actually... He's Amish and lives in Ohio... Long story short, I'm now in communication with him and he made me a couple of custom patterns last week that I requested as well as supplying the musical instrument patterns and he has offered his expertise so that I can now offer my customers the option of having their dog's name in the body rather than the breed. He's going to charge me $20 for each one that I'll pass to the customer without any additional upcharge from me. Mr. Byler will make the pattern, mail it to me and I'll cut it. I made these 2 yesterday as soon as I received the patterns.

Do you sell quite a bit of your work? How do you market it? I would love to be able to make at least enough money to pay for the cost of intarsia.

Iguanadon Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm still a newbie, Country Girl. I started cutting the dog puzzles 2 months ago and as luck would have it I live 3 blocks from a weekly farmers market that has local artists set up tents and sell on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm. And I'm in a tourist beach town so it's a whole new batch of potential customers every week. I've done much better than I expected, averaging 23 items each Saturday. My worst was 14 and my best was 35 so far in the 7 weeks I've done it. I am meeting fellow vendors and am learning about other events in the area and I'm signing up for them as I hear about them. Other than that, I have a Facebook page (see link in my signature below). This is all just a hobby for me. I work full time (from home).
