How did the sale go?
It went pretty well. I got the feeling that everyone under the sun wanted a hand puppet, but didn't want to shell out $350 for a schmancy one (which I know is probably *still* lower than what everyone else here charges...baby steps, guys, baby steps)

I think I ended up selling 15 finger puppets over the span of the 4 days. Most of those sales came on the final day. Considering I've never sold anything in person to anyone at any kind of craft show ever, I did pretty well.

Here's a picture of my half of the 6' table we had this year.

We're going to go ahead & get a big expensive space (10x10) next year & do it up.

I think I finally found my audience. (women at craft shows are *not* my audience!)

The next time I come to a festival where you have a stand, I definately will buy one of your nice finger puppets ...

Great "Breakfast-Ensemble" ... If you need some extra fingers for your play just call me ;-)

Do you sell your puppets only at conventions?


Thanks Relborn!

Thanks Relborn!

I actually don't normally sell at comicons. That was my first. I have a shop online & I sell from that. The links in the last group go to my little shop.
