Run Up To Craft Market . . .

With my first craft market just a few days away, I've been busy with finishing touches. Bruce finished making the lovely pizza cutters he made out of old saw blades. He got me to turn the handles and then he used his tap tool to create a thread inside them so they could be screwed onto rod he had attached to the cutter. Because they are quite sharp I made cardboard sleeves for them.

I decided to marble some of the vases I made. I love how this paint technique looks. I also marbled so of the trees and the ends of the playdough rolling pins.

Finally, I took everything over to the craftroom and worked out how I was going to set up my stall. Having a practise run means I won't waste time when we arrive at the market. After moving everything around a few times I achieved my desired look. I think I have set everything out so that there is a natural flow for customers. Also having these photos means I have a pictorial guide for getting the set up right on the day. Next I had the massive job of pricing everything. I don't want to make things too cheap but I also don't want to scare prospective customers away.
