I have taken the Plunge and signed up for the

sshg_giftfest but I'm feeling trepidation because, looking at all the prompts of all the sign-ups... I can see only ONE, just ONE, that I could turn into craft. But it's worse than that... because even though there are people who have indicated they want Art... their prompts are basically all fic prompts. (!???!)

Very frustrating. (sigh)
Still, if all else fails, I can contact the designated contactee of whomever I am assigned to, and ask for a more arty prompt...

It has come around again.

I'm torn about whether I will sign up or not.

I made two works for the

sshg_promptfest, and put them up on my Etsy store, thinking that at least somebody in the fest would give them a good home... and not a whisper. I think it was even more deeply discouraging because there were folks who commented on my fest entries (before the reveal) that they wanted them... but obviously didn't want them enough to buy them when I pointed out (after the reveal) that they could...

This is deeply frustrating, because I find it really fulfilling to make wearable art, but since I've run out of friends to give my SS/HG works to (they have said that they now have too much to wear...) then the only other way to give them a good home is to sell them; to sell them at a price that actually reflects what they are worth. But if nobody will buy them, then what is the point of making them, if they won't be worn by anybody?

(sigh)

Hence, I am torn.
