More professional
If you’ve been reading my journal you’ll know that I’m going to have an artist alley booth at MetroCon. In the last few years I’ve noticed that the artist alley has gotten a lot more competitive. It’s moving away from print artists to crafts and fine arts. Many of the artists have been doing this for years, so I want our booth too look very nice, neat and above all, professional. I am designing business cards and a price list for our items, but I’m not sure if that’s enough. When I went to MegaCon I saw many artists had large signs hung behind them with their names, company and some examples of their works. They looked really professional. That’s why I’m considering creating a banner for Eelpoutart, to hang on the front of the table. I came across this site, BuildASign.com, and it seems really nice. You design what you want, then they print it out on whatever medium you choose. I would probably get a nylon flag or a banner for my purposes. They have a huge selection of yard signs, magnetic signs, vinyl decals and bumper stickers. The vinyl decals and bumper stickers would be fun to play with, maybe something for my friends to check out.
For the products for the artist alley, I’m trying to develop more felt foods. I tried making a felt cake yesterday but it was getting frustrating so I gave up. Maybe I’ll try it again today. I kinda want to buy a book off eBay that explains how to make felt foods, with patterns and everything. The only drawback is that it’s in Japanese and I’d have to guess at what their saying. Oh well, something to experiment with. 
I’m a little worried that I’m expanding too much and should just stick to a few things. I don’t want the table overrun with items so that no one can see what’s there. :dead:

Oh, that sounds so cool!
Good luck with the sign and products! You’ll have to take pictures when it happens, because I’d love to see what the booth looks like.

I just got a Japanese book in the mail a week or so ago. It’s a book on how to make felt mascots (little felt animals). Like you said, the directions are all in Japanese, but there are lots of arrows and things, and it looks like it might not be too terribly difficult to figure out. Good luck with whatever you make!
