Popular Post John B Posted November 15, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I couldn't see another suitable to place to post this. Had a good day at the local monthly markets today. I had concentrated on making stand-up puzzles over the last couple of weeks and had about 25, along with portraits etc to take along. looks like I'll be making more puzzles this month as I put $390 in the sky-rocket . The markets run from 8am - 1pm. Glad they were today when the temp was only 26c not on Wednesday when it is reckoned to reach 39c frankorona, GrampaJim, courtym74 and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Very nice display of some really well done pieces. I know the portraits must have caused a lot of people to stop and stand there in awe. Dick heppnerguy John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Congratulations on a good day of sales, @John B Just out of curiosity, do the portraits of iconic stars like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and Den Martin sell very well any more? I'm just curious. It seems there are still John Wayne fans everywhere that admire portraits of him but, not sure they will still buy very often. God Bless!

Beautiful !! Thanks Brenda, My daughter, who makes jewellery and shares the stall, also had a great day. I sell only one or two portraits each market, but the puzzles etc, walk away.

John B Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks Dick if I got a dollar from every one who admired them and asked how long they take to cut, I wouldn't have to sell any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually a stencil that I had to do only a little work on to make it into a pattern wombatie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirithorse Thanks Bob, The Duke and Elvis sell pretty well, I even get rid of a couple of Audrey Hepburn ones a year. As Marilyn Munroe, I have never sold one and wouldn't of even cut her, but a friend asked me to and then "I never really wanted her, just thought she'd look god cut" so there you go. Dean Martin, I cut one for my brother in-law and stacked 3, I sold the 1st time I displayed him, but I have had this one for almost a year. On the whole, I think the portraits have slowed down, but I refuse to give them away, so if I sell one, It can make a huge difference to the day's takings.

''There's nowt as strange as folk'' Must admit to never trying the puzzles, I'm not good with thicker wood John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
