#2 .... just enough to make it stand out ..... think it would be too much if all was colored. That's my story and I'm sticking with it !!!!

I haven't been around much lately so was a little surprised. No big deal as I think all of the other groups have at some time had to redo their site and have changed the look of the site. So glad you are still around and will hit the donate button when installed. Hate you had to use the piggy bank as I am sure you had fond dreams of using the new saw !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kevin on the .. Dream Big .. do you know what font was used for the word Dream ??? Thanks Marion

Very well done Clayton ... great choice of woods and excellent finishing

What would hurt him more is to let Ford know he is selling their Logo. I would think you can use them as public domain to make something but not sell the pattern and stamp them as being yours ??? So many of the patterns are from this forum wondering if it is/was a member ?? We need to all put our heads together and figure out how to out smart him ???

Hey Dan .. sure you will enjoy it here in "The Village". Nice group of people here. Hope things have been going well with you. marmoh

Looking at the other Facebook pages just shows me I need to get off my you know what and and try and add some pazzazz to mine !!! Thanks all for liking my page. Nike ... love your animal portraits .. did you make the patterns ???

Travis and Clayton you are both now linked to my Facebook page ..... https://www.facebook.com/DivineWoodenDesign

3M #77 ..... if the pattern hasn't been on too lng it peels right off ... can take it off with mineral spirits also or microwave for about 20 seconds and it peels off

If we could convert compliments into cash we would all be rich. Your work is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. You need a good variety of items to choose from which enables you to have different price ranges. I've done some street fairs and have an Etsy account and a facebook account. You can never have too much exposure but if you don't promote your site no one knows it's there. I made some items for my Veterinarian and made sales from people seeing them on his wall. I made items for the people involved in the street fair and they helped promote my booth. I hand out business cards when ever I can. I keep pictures on my phone to show people what I can do. I guess what I am trying to say is that if you want to make money people have to know you have something for sale. Wish there was a magic formula to give but seems to be .. that one person, liking what they see, and willing to pay the price for it ??? Just because you build it doesn't mean they will come in this craft. Hope I didn't ramble too much ...... Marion

I am attaching a link to a video series on beginning Intarsia. I also use the trace method but as he says there are different ways of doing it and you just have to find which one is best for you. Hope the videos inspires someone to try Intarsia. Beware ... Intarsia can become habit forming !!! You don't have to use expensive woods to begin with .. maybe start out using the softer woods.

Really like the design of the bowl. Your pattern ???

Thanks again for all of the kind words. Really enjoyed making this one and have to get the lead out and get a few more made. I was leary of making the Pooping Puppy because of the mechanical part but found it to be easy ....the bunny was just as easy. Having a video along with the written plans is great. Yup... sure would like to make some $$$$ off of them. If nothing else it draws people over to your booth to see what everyone else is looking at and then they notice your other work so even if you don't sell one you may sell something else. Marion

Really like the wood you used.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I bought the pattern online. The plans are sent via email as a PDF and you also get a link to a video showing you how to make it. I live in a rural area and sold the Pooping Pups for $30 with no problem. Just hoping I have as much luck with the Bunny !! Here is the link to where I bought the plans from if you are interested. http://www.scroll-saw-forum.com/2013/03/bunny-candy-dispenser-pattern.html
