Hello and greetings from Palermo!
I must say I never actually planned to be in "business" but if you want to sell things on any sort of regular basis then you need to have a tax ID number and charge sales tax, next thing you know you are officially in business!
Well, here I am four years later, still not likely to ever really break even, but I can sell my ornaments and buy some of the materials and supplies at wholesale prices so maybe someday I can actually claim to make a profit (or at least break even.
Any way I LOVE my art hobby of creating eggshell ornaments and I self published my very own step by step full color photo illustrated craft book and even though sales are not what anyone would call "brisk", I do make a few sales here and there and that gives one a sense of accomplishment.
So do YOU ever wonder how eggshells are cut and decorated? Mine are not the dyed or blown eggs, nor the laser etched ostrich sized ones; simple chicken eggs in a variety of sizes, some cut as baskets, some as basinettes, others like perfect blobs of clouds with the lovely Hagen Renaker Pegasus nestled in for a rest. But most are a standard ornament style with a trim hanger to be hung upon a display tree.
Interested? Please visit my web site at http://www.eggcentricity.com perhaps you will be intrigued enough to try it yourself (you can order one of my books) - or you may see an egg you'd like to have for yourself or as a gift. I can do special orders for just about anything you can think of so don't be shy! Drop me a note and I'll be happy to contact you to work out details for your special egg.
Thanks for stopping by ~ p.s. - I'm guessing the egg came first.....
