We just finished our Calico Christmas crafts show. Key rings of any type didn't sell ($10). Larger (4 inch tall) Santa faces and Elf faces (Gargac style) sold very slowly (4 total at $25). 5-minute Wizards (painted, BLO, wax) sold at $5 each. Flat type ornaments of snowmen, bells, etc. (painted, BLO, wax) sold slowly at $5. The "wizard wand" for kids sold at $7. None of the flat plane men or Santa's sold ($25). For a first try at a crafts show, I sold about $250 worth. Remember to factor in that this is a small town, not NYC...
Of course my wife's pottery was flying off the tables.
Although there was a lot of interest in carving ("I used to carve...") I expect only one person to actually show up at our carving club meeting.
Oh well, I met a lot of fun people and had a good time! Plus, I bought a book signed by the author and by the illustrator, and a calendar signed by the cowboy artist.
