The show I signed up for got me thinking about this stuff again. That and the fact that the checkbook was dying. I thought, I need to sell some pots at this show. What would sell? See now that's a sure sign of going down the wrong road and I recognized that. But it did get me to thinking that my lowest priced item right now is a small flat bottomed bowl that retails for $22. It's made from 1.25 lbs of clay and it's decorated.I honestly don't think I want to make anything that is a knick knack that would sell for less or be less work (with the drawing and glazing). Why should I? I hate that my mind even went there. I can take my current line of work to this show and sell some pots. Hopefully. It may very well be that I don't. But chasing the market has never really gotten me anywhere. It's best to make what I want, what I'm excited about and to make that work the best I can. Also to find the right places to sell that work.
I admit that this show is a last minute consideration to try to get out there and sell some pots when we are in need of some income. Maybe I'm going against what I just wrote in the previous paragraph. Ah, it's tough right? Still I can justify it by saying it's 10 minutes from home and the fee was $60.
Believe me I see that some of my reasoning in this post has gone haywire.
I did have another point to make along these lines but I think I'm gonna stop now and go out to work. Thanks for reading.
