Someone needs to create some fairy inspired masks
@Museek
That would be a good business.
I almost spent $70 on fairy wings as Christmas presents for my grand-nieces at Mudpie in San Franscisco.
Proceeded to buy educational toys instead. They were still a hit.
@jurban I used to make and airbrush silk ones for kids.. I couldn’t keep up with the demand, tbh. It. Started because my daughter wanted “real” fairy wings. I made her some and took her to Fairy Worlds and everyone kept asking where we got them so I ended up making them 🤣. Hired people at Goodwill to help me make them for a little while!
Glad the Ed toys were a hit!! It’s fun.. I loved creating fairy things /doing festivals. I dressed my daughter and her friends up &everyone would come!
@Museek
That's exciting! It's rare to get a hit. Maybe you should just design them and get someone else to make them?
Hey, here's a new market:
"Educational toys with a Fairy theme"
Give more incentive for little girls to learn about STEM subjects. I can imagine fairies holding the planets in the correct order from the Sun. Or, two fairies assembling two water molecules into an ice crystal.
@jurban we did try that for awhile, as well. In Indonesia.. but they’d sell to Australians who were able to undercut our costs. There are some vicious fairies out there. Lol.
I should show you my daughter’s first written science experiment.. fairy dust. It’s funny.
I still like being able to create one of a kind things. I have no shortage of inspiration but only a shortage of time!
@Museek
Ah, maybe you should have made it in Mexico? I hear the labor rates are still pretty low there.
The nice thing about designing is that everything is one of a kind. Then someone else figures out how to amplify it.
I call anything "Nanotech" "Fairy Dust" because it will probably actually do magical things someday. It will be indiscernible from magic. I can imagine a distant future where there is physical "magic" all around us that is driven by microscopic technology.
@jurban that would probably be better…
I lack marketing skills 😂
That world is wondrous… funny you call it that. Her dad was a scientist and had an electron microscope. It was cool to see some insects from the perspective. Someone could create amazing photography with one of those!
