Black gold Curlie

[Purplecat]

Yeah…that was my thought too when I first read about using them for candleholders…I remember thinking, “I’d have to kill my husband if he lit the candle!” 😀 Sometimes I have candles which aren’t meant to be lit cause of the holder.

Why are only available direct when the black gold color is still in stores? If they are only available then why didn’t Melody sign the bottom? 😕

I think it might have something to do with Melody going to Oregon, telling us they were going to be available while she was gone and forgetting to sign them before she left? 😆 but I am just geussing. Sorry! I had answered this but it didn’t post for some reason..or I answered it in another thread which I can’t find now.. anyway…

We want the signed ones to be special. These curlies sell like hotcakes (better than we expected) so we didn’t want to flood the market with signed pieces.
We are charging less for the unsigned ones. (Less work for me -this is good)
The reason we didn’t produce these curlies until we started selling things directly, is because of their small size.
It often costs us as much, or more, to paint a tiny piece as it does a large one (for example; the griffin chicks actually take longer to paint than the adults!). We can’t charge more for small ones! So selling these curlies wholesale was something I thought we couldn’t afford to do. However, they aren’t as hard to paint as I expected, so we will see…
These were originally made to be taper candle holders, but they fell over too easily. I resculpted them to hold a globe.
hehe it is ok. I have a better picture. I thought that the stores were going to have them, so I told my store about them. Thank you. 😀
