Thread: Sold!!

I don't think Wendy is doing it for the money but for the love of woodwork.



Congratulations love.

That's a nice little collection of kontayners.. I too liked the Deco look. In fact I'm a Deco fan anhave started a colletion of books on the subject. So far I have ONE.

I did that too!! Same details as you except it was on an A3 sheet of paper and I had a copy of the same to go with each box. There ya go, everyone. Proof that it really does work in selling boxes Oh OUCH! STOP throwing those bricks Mr Krenov Please!

It is the marketing, whether it be your spoken word or a small written statement, which puts soul into your work and elevates it above a great looking box.

Well, they certainly got to see my love and passion for woodwork. Hey, I just remembered, not one of them ran away when I was talking!!! Aw geeez, I just crack myself up sometimes... Sorry, still riding on cloud 9 here at the moment. Speaking of which,

ONE!! :ROTFL2: Just the little lonely one, but for how much longer will it be just the one Artme.. you do realise that they seem to grow and multiply by themselves

I've never been a fan of the Art Deco movement or style, but whadeya know, I've gone and created something in that style anyway. Interesting...


I feel like I've graduated to the next level of designing and building today. The challenge now is to further develop existing and new skills, but to keep my originality and as Krenov said, keep listening to the wood, keep feeling the design that it will show. To be honest, most of the time it is indeed the timber that directs the design and they are my best pieces.

Cheers
Wendy

I think that the great work you put into the boxes deserved a fairer price
