A new animal series for me

Scott I really like the last one. You did a great job on all of them but you excelled on the last one.

Thanks Hawkeye... other than one of her fingers being fatter than the others. ;-)  Bugged me, and I was going to fix it but someone bought it yesterday.

My event yesterday went very well.  It was of course my first year doing this particular one.  The pottery vendor next to me had told me this was always her best event each year. but at the end of the day she said it wasn't nearly as busy as usual.

 

For me however, it was one of my top 5 days with solid sales of 35 pieces.

 

The highlight of the day was the administrator of the zoo in South Carolina was here on vacation and was very intrigued by the zoo animal collection (Lion, Gorilla, Elephant, Giraffe, etc) and we swapped cards.  He said he'd be interested in having them in the gift shop.

 

I emailed him last night thanking him for speaking with me and maybe we'll come to some sort of an arrangement.  Fingers crossed.

 

I've been trying to get in touch with the NC Aquarium that is just 5 miles down the road from me but haven't been able to get my foot in the door yet, but this inspired me to try again and I'm asking friends in town if they know anyone within management that they can connect me up with.

 

Wow, great to hear for you Iggy.  Glad you had a great sell and made some contacts that might get you more work if that is what you are after.  Keep it up and you may have to commission some of your fellow scrollers here to do "piece work" for you. 

 

Not surprised, your work is outstanding and definitely work that appeals to the animal lovers.  Let the Aquarium know that you have been approached by someone at a Zoo, that might help you get their notice as well.  Nobody wants to miss the next great thing!   thanks for sharing an update with us.  Good luck.( Guess that fat finger didn't bother the person who bought the one you wanted to fix!  )

Great looking horses Iggy, I love them.  Congratulations on your sales, well deserved.  I will keep everything crossed that something comes of your chat to the zoo administrator.  Keep us posted.
