Announcing the launch of a new company and product...!
The Hummy Wand Hat Clip Hummingbird Feeder!
Just got up on Etsy yesterday. There's a link to it below. It's a little thing I've been working on for awhile now. It took some time to work all the bugs out and get production squared away. Production which takes place entirely on our dining table/my workshop using polymer clay, aluminum wire, and other stuff. Got a business license and company bank account. I have a domain name and website, but damn if I can figure out how to use the DIY thing to get it set up. (I may want to have a long talk with you about websites, Curt). I've got four dozen packaged and ready to ship. It was enough to help me get the design and production nailed down, but I don't want to make any more until orders start rolling in. Ha ha.
We have a little deck here in our second floor apartment and we get tons of hummingbirds at our feeders. I sit out there a lot and they are like friends to me now. They've been my spirit animal here in Tucson. I'm currently also working on a sculpture thing with twelve feeding stations and a solar powered birdbath/fountain. It's been as much as I can do with all my back problems. At least on days that I can do anything.
But I gotta do something! I've been making things my whole life. It feels like I had most of my limbs cut off not having a fully outfitted workshop at my disposal anymore. And whatever extra money it can generate will be massively welcome.
If these things sell... great! I figure I'm up to making a couple dozen a week. And selling the ones I already have in stock should more than make up for all the expense in getting this going.
If they don't sell... if I get shut out even... Oh well. It was something to do to still feel useful and creative. And you can guess what everyone I know is going to get from me for Christmas.
Anyway, FEEL THE RAPTUROUS JOY OF THE WIND FROM HUMMINGBIRD WINGS ON YOUR FACE for only $24.95 + tax. Shipping in the continental US included.
