I had a tech shop membership for a month to try out the laser cutter, and it was completely amazing. Turns out, a day pass is only $25, and we can cut out at least 15 masks in an hour. So with the next batch of leather I think we should be able to match our 45 item minimum. Here's a video of my experiences using the laser cutter:
The Berkeley Pagan festival is in 2 weeks and one day, so we have a LOT to do. Then the Walnut Creek Art and Wine festival is exactly 3 weeks after that (oh god why), and after that we have roughly 7 weeks to stock of for FaerieWorlds 2012.
Eve just got her car repaired which cost more than she had anticipated. I'll likely be buying the next round of leather so that we can scramble and make as much as we possibly can for the Art and Wine festival... that is a HUGE event in the bay area which averages 90,000 people attending. This is our first festival of that size. To put things in perspective, FaerieWorlds has around 15,000+ attendance. Thankfully the Art and Wine festival is walking distance from my new home!
Right now we have about 40 items for the Berkeley Pagan Festival, though only a handful are actually ready for sale. I'm painting my ass off, to say the least :)
