037 - Why it's been so long
Apr. 27th, 2017 05:34 pmThings are... busy. In a good way, sure... but BUSY!
I have commission requests for three different lamps right now, the first of which is due TOMORROW to the customer! Just waiting for the paint to dry now so i can put the wiring in... it was SUPER DIFFICULT to make this one because the requested theme (which I always insist that the customer keep as vague as possible) is WONDER WOMAN.
Ya don't find many WONDER WOMAN toys being discarded! I had to make my own out of professional wrestler!
Then I have three weeks till ODDMALL IN TACOMA, where I have been awarded a DOUBLE-SIZE END CAP BOOTH, and, oh yeah...
THEY'RE GOING TO FEATURE ONE OF MY LAMPS ON SOME LOCAL TV SHOW!!!
Well, technically they'll be showcasing *Oddmall*, but David Hopp (the guy who runs Oddmall) is going to be on one of those local filler shows ("New Day NW" is my guess) promoting the event and he wants to take one of my lamps as a showcase of the type of weird stuff you can find there!
So THAT'S pretty awesome!
Also, we had to drive all the way out to Fall City to sign the papers - as of Monday, the house is officially OURS!
So all the other stuff I wanted to do... the resurgence of the Saturday Morning Recreation Society, the following of Disneyland stuff, the gaming events, the *everything*... it's all on hold.
