I am in!

If you are looking for something to 3-D print, I would LOVE some ram horns or deer horns for my Monster High dolls!

I have a market this Saturday, so I won’t be able to make it, but I hope everyone has fun and maybe see you next time!

kayrun · June 3, 2026, 11:59pm

I think I can make it! Woohoo!

Manders · June 4, 2026, 4:08am

I hope you sell lots of things

Ok, I don’t have the machine yet but a friend does and and he’s upgrading to a newer printer and I’m thinking about buying his older smaller one. He hasn’t decided which new printer he wants. Until then I have to wait.

I’ve been wanting to try 3d printing, but the price tag for the machine is a bit too high for me.

Can you post photos of what you had in mind? Maybe others might want the same thing or something similar.

Reese52 · June 4, 2026, 10:44am

Take photos of your set up and share with us. I’d love to see what you made. Good luck and hope you sell out of products!

I can join right after I arrive back from my son’s parkour class. I am usually home about 10 minutes after the start of he scheduled time.

gozer · June 4, 2026, 12:47pm

Here are some examples. But I would love most horns.

Ram

Gotcha, will update soon.

irid3sc3nt · June 4, 2026, 10:24pm

I’ll be at the airport with my son during that time

Mountains_and_Clouds · June 5, 2026, 2:08am

Thanks @Manders and @Reese52 !
I almost forgot about this market (it was actually one I rescheduled feom a canceled one during our huge storms earlier this year) and I’m not looking forward to it too much because the following weekend is actually a big art festival (with a big booth fee) I haven’t done before! I’ll try to get photos, but I’m mostly scrambling right now to see if I can pull off some new display ideas by next week, lol.

Feel free to join in the call:

Tapestry · June 6, 2026, 6:50pm

Ack, I missed it!

Probably because I was crafting until 3am and my body has been frantically trying to make up for a week of terrible sleep. Hopefully, I can make it next time!

Mountains_and_Clouds · June 6, 2026, 7:56pm

Only because itnwas requested, here’s my booth today! Kinda smol, because it’s extremely windy (which gives me hige anxiety because other vendors’ stuff tends to blow over into my pottery…). Whenever I do this market, I always request a spot right by the only tree in this entire field. It can sometimes be shady, but trees are magical and literally cool down the space around them! (It’s real science!)

kayrun · June 6, 2026, 8:04pm

oh MY! hope you get some rest soon!
It was a pleasant, relaxing session with old pals @gozer and @Kwality570 and I got to meet a new pal, @Manders !
Have a great weekend, ladies – and thx for all of the encouragement

Tapestry · June 6, 2026, 8:14pm

I love your large wood display! Your pottery looks tempting and lovely on display. I hope you got lots of sales!

Mountains_and_Clouds · June 6, 2026, 10:22pm

Thanks! We’re still going, but it’s slooooow. And windy. And these big rainclouds keep blowing through! Argh! Hahahaha

Reese52 · June 7, 2026, 7:21am

Sorry to say I missed this one too. Been extremely busy lately. I hope to join in future calls.
@Tapestry , I totally get your insomnia. I’m going through it myself, some stressful things going at work has been the root of the cause. I’ve had problems with sleep on and off since junior high. Hope you get some rest soon.

Reese52 · June 7, 2026, 7:22am

Ditto on the display shelf. I like the curves in it. I’m guessing it’s to mimic clouds. Hope you made lots of sales!
