More great stuff, Ed. What Joe said -- they would be fools if they weren't interested in your cabs.

Sure beats a gaggle of geese. That last one is really cool. Good luck, Stoner.

why don't you wire wrap a couple of them and maybe glue a bell cap on a couple more and get some chains and sell them yourself?

Indeed Ed, good luck. I dont think you'll have any problem. The only thing is sometimes depending on the show. Dealers want to sell stuff frist before they buy anything. Makesure you take plenty of bizuness cards. And go each day, even just to shoot the **it with anyone thats interested.

Good luck Ed. Yeah, you got tons of talent. Luck is secondary. Just don't sell yourself short. You do amazing work with knockout material. Seriously, you make some darn nice cabs out of the most amazing rocks, especially those Koroites, MHPJs and Rhodocrosite(sp).
You should totally wire wrap some as WarrenA says. That's what my wife wants me to do. I hope it works out and you are a hit with the crafting community. May I suggest making a photo album of cabs to show off as well. It's probably hard to figure out what each person wants, so if you show them some other stuff and say you can cut it into desired sizes and shapes you might get even more of a response.
I hope it goes great. Steve

Thanks everyone. As for wire wrapping, forget it. I've tried and tried, and everytime I do it, it comes out looking like the Bionic Man's pubic hair! I've got a really cool folding leather pouch and when you unfold it, there are zippered compartments that have clear plastic covers. So I'm going to line the pockets with foam and load up my cabs and bring them with me. Seeing the actual cab is alot better than photos. Thanks for your support and suggestions, I'll let you know how I do.
