soc_puppetHave I shared pics of my crocheted hippos here? I don't quite thing I have. I know I've shared them in Discord, but that's hardly as permanent a sharing spot as Dreamwidth.
Well, either way, I crocheted another hippo for the first time in months. Finally, after selling almost all of them and gifting almost all of the rest, I am building up my stock again! It helps that someone requested the opportunity to buy a purple hippo from me, so I want to have several examples for her to choose from. "Do you want this purple, this purple, or this one? Light purple, or dark purple? Solid purple, or variegated? Take your pick, I'm sure I'll find homes for the rest!"
That said, I'm also pretty sure I'm going to kick the price up a couple of bucks. Not for the person who requested one, she'll still get the previous price of eight dollars, but I did some better timekeeping this time around and yeah, they take longer than my flying pigs. I'll probably bump the price up to ten dollars a pop, maybe nine. Which isn't too bad, IMO; still within price range for most kids at a convention, or anyone else who might want one. My mom has always had a philosophy that there should be a wide range of prices on art available for sale, especially at art shows (which artist alleys kinda count as), so kids aren't completely priced out of things.
Anyway, stopping here for the night; I'll see about finishing another hippo or two probably on my next day off. Oh, and someone remind me to get hippo pics up! (And I have got dolphin pics posted? I should check for them, as well. I know I've got stingray pics up, though I'm not sure if I have flying pig pics on Dreamwidth...)
