maybe you should turn a profit while you're making these pens then? That'll at least keep you afloat. I'm sure there's a market for awesome custom pens to be had.
Yeah, I'm sure there's a market, too. The problem is that most of the time, co-workers, friends, and family are where customers come from. Being fresh out of school and on the job hunt, I don't have any co-workers to show off and sell pens to. That's where the biggest number of customers seems to come from. I've thought about trying to make a website, but I keep reading that website sales for pens like these are typically very slow. Oh well.
I've got a couple in the works for one of my mom's co-workers. They'll be like the pine cone one. Those ones take lots of time, and lots of CA glue! It's all fun for me though! If I can have fun and make a little money, that's even better!
