In the autumn, I take my maille on the road to various Craft Shows
throughout the area. Quite often, a young person will be working
with their parent/grandparent and is up wandering around the show checking
out the other tables. For some reason, they think that
chainmaille is, like, the coolest thing ever! (which, of
course, it is) and seem to be more than willing to be free advertising
for me (and my table) by walking around all day, wearing a piece or two.
As you can imagine, this usually generates a large number of people; patrons
of the shows as well as other crafters, to my little 8-feet wide area.
Jodie, the young lady here, is the grand-daughter of a couple of crafters
at my last show this season. She rides in horse shows and had purchased
my 6-in-1 cameo choker the day before these pictures were taken.
She tried on the Joan d'Arc tank-top to find that she was the perfect size
and body-shape to wear this particular piece. Even my wife said that
she thought it looked fabulous on her. Later on, she came back wanting
to know if she could wear a headpiece. Within about an hour, she
had single-handedly brought about 30 people to my little
area! Amazing what can happen with the right model working for you.
