Stuff

Apparently I'm pretty bad at keeping my blog updated.  Big news!  I have been accepted into the Winter 2013 issue of Stuffed Magazine and I not only got my first solo show but it has almost completely sold out!  I am really stoked about both of these.  I feel like I might finally be getting my toys/plush art/whatever off the ground.  This show has shown me that I need to get my stuff out there for people to see in person.  I've been relying on Etsy too heavily and although it's a great resource, I think I would do much better at craft/art shows so that I don't have to depend on a search engine for someone to come across my little creatures.  I've also gotten a lot of feedback that my prices are too low.  I've never been able to have a good grasp on that fine line of charging what my time is worth and what people are willing to pay, although I have a better idea now after seeing everything getting snatched up.  I'm hopeful about what next year will bring and am looking forward to starting on my book that tells the tale of the Corpseweed Home for Monstrous Children.
