Products

I make all my items individually in my own workshop.  I've arranged the product photos into a few groups:

• Off the Rack items are generally in stock and ready to ship. Look at Off the Rack Pens and Off the Rack Not-Pens.
  
• Made to Order includes examples of items I've made in the past that I'm willing to make again.  You can go directly from here to the Idea Book for Pens or the Idea Book for Not-Pens.
  
• Bespoke Gifts shows orders I've filled for customers who came to me with a special idea.

Calendar

• (Confirmed) Thursday-Sunday, 27-30 September 2012-- Rainfurrest 2012, Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center, 17620 International Blvd.,  Seattle, Washington, 98188.  This is a convention for fans of anthropomorphic arts and entertainment and charges a membership fee.  The Dealers' Room hours have not yet been announced for this convention.
  

I prefer to work indoor "sit-and-sell" shows where I can interact directly with my customers.  I'm especially interested in shows between Seattle and Arlington, and as far east as Monroe or Fall City, although occasionally I will travel farther.  I prefer to not take the ferries to get to a show because that can make for a very long day.

If you know of an upcoming craft show or holiday bazaar relatively close to me, I'd love to hear about it. Contact me at the email address below.

Trunk Shows

Photos and web descriptions are poor substitutes for seeing the product with your own eyes, and touching it with your own fingers. Because my products are handmade, there are subtle variations in texture, shape, and color that are best experienced in person. If you live within about an hour's drive of zip code 98155, I can bring my products to you.

The trunk show includes my current stock of various styles of pens, plus my interactive pen bar (pens assembled on site in your choice of wood and metal) and my key fobs which can be personalized on site. I usually also bring samples of my other items. The trunk show can take as little as about 15 minutes, or it can be a part of a larger event you are hosting.

A cover charge, payable in advance via PayPal, will be fully credited toward any purchases made at your trunk show but is not otherwise refundable. The cover charge is based partly on driving time to your location and partly on how long you want me to be on site.

Contact me by email (details below) to discuss arranging a trunk show. Evening and weekend slots are generally available throughout the year. Occasional daytime slots during the week may be available by special arrangement.
