So, Magpie says they're not able to take any of my work on consignment. They say that polymer clay doesn't sell well there in their experience. They sent me to Blue Cloud, which is artier. I'd heard of them via
n0ire, anyway, so this makes sense. I've also not yet followed through on any Lexington boutiques quite yet. They're more upscale than Magpie, so the likelihood of being told "no" seems more likely than not. Yeah. I'm not fond nor good at dealing with this part of art. Rejection sucks. It feels like a boot to the solar plexus. Reject my art, reject me is what it boils down to. I prefer limited amounts of rejection at a time, so there shall be no full-scale campaign waged on twee boutiques.
In the meantime, I need to acquire supplies to jazz the finished product: paint pen to sign them all and enamel paint to give the insides a more finished look.
If any of my fellow local crafters have any plans to do craft shows this summer, I have more time than usual to devote to such things, so if you want to go in on a table, let me know. Or something.
EDIT: fast and leadless rejection from Blue Cloud. I bet I can get a hat trick by the end of the day. A friend works at a place that has in-house craft fairs every few months. Yeah, I can tell. Hat trick day.
