I make little papier mache snowmen and sell tons of them in the winter. They are more of a craft item than art cuz I make so many of them - assembly line style. I have a little tag I put on each one. Just Xeroxed on card stock, folded, tiny hole punched in the corner and tied on with white string. It reads "Frosty Friends from Wendy's Wonderland, Joplin MO, (phone number)" on the other side it says "Recycled paper and paste, sparkles and love, that's what Frosty Friends are made of!"
Didn't realize how much the tag meant to customers until I had one lose her tag and walk all the way back throught a big crowd at a craft show! LOL! I have gotten many calls and sales from people. Lots of folks think Wendy's Wonderland is an actual store and they call for the store hours and address.
Those are wonderful tags! I like the whimsy and rythym of your wording! :-) I think it's so important, to tag original artwork- it gives people contact info & helps to build a professional yet fun image for the artist.
Yes! I looked at your Ebay auctions!!! The Callaway is getting bid on- yay! :-) I hope that they start bidding on your projector & home movies soon too!
I've been SO BUSY- thrifting my butt off...I have another day of it ahead of me. Thrift...thrift...thrift...that's all I do lately! LOL...
I've got people watching the projector and Callaway too. Had a couple of inquiries about the projector.
Mom and I hit Goodwill Monday. It was senior discount day so with her discount we got an additional 25% off. Can't beat that! LOL! Got some Crazy Daisy plates. Both our carts filled up and things started getting a little agressive about the time we left. I plan on swinging by and looking for some more when I go out. Goodwill is real close to our house and I pass Salvation Army all the time. Gotta stop more often : )
Tell me about your thrifting adventures when you get home : ) You know I love to hear all about them!
Wendy- Sounds like you had a rootin tootin time at the ole Goodwill! LOL... I'll be sure to share about my thrifting when I get back home! I'll take some pics of what I've been finding too- yay! :-)
Lisa... I'm not surprised to see such a personal touch included with your art! People just love that extra bit of art and a note from you, I'll bet. The doodle in the note is such a sweet extra!
Wendy.... I never heard you tell what was on your tags before... that is SO PERFECT!!! It's fanciful and clever and SO YOU!!! Wendy's Wonderland.... oh gosh I love it....
you're a sweetheart!wendy_hillAugust 9 2006, 16:48:31 UTC
Thanks Raven. You're a sweetheart : )
Went to a business expo and wore a Wendy's Wonderland name tag. People would ask me "what's Wendy's Wonderland?" Sometimes I told them it was lingerie! LOL!
