tuesday de: maker space!

[inlovewithwords]

Your character is spending a week working as or for a maker of some nifty thing, and then selling it on the weekend! They get to choose what they're doing, so it's fun as well as paying work. What's the product? Chocolates, candies, leather masks, knitted patterns, etc? What kind of space are they selling it at?

Brought to you by chocolate tuxedo penguins and shiny pink chocolate dragons.

(PS: Are you Boston-accessible? Come to Arisia this weekend! These will be there! As will I!

PPS: ... poke me if you want more chocolate pictures.)

do drugs count as a nifty thing

Those dragons are pretty! I will have to answer later today, just wanted to mention the dragons.

This is what Sameth does and he would love a chance to show off his stuff and find out who wants to buy it. He would end up making feather coins, figures that move like his feathered frog out of metal and charter spells.

Quentin would be helping May and Jazz bake all kinds of cool stuff.

Cassian's looking really skeptical at this idea but he is a cook, so he'd make big batches of food, mainly savory.

William, I could see selling tooled leather like decorated bridles or doing stuff for people.

Will S. is kind of at a loss for this one as is Ivan, they'll help someone else who's selling.

Moist, Moist is selling something commemorative and overpriced but personalized. His forgeries are almost art.

Demeter has baked good and plants though she probably ends up giving some of them away.

Tumnus is another with baked goods and possibly some knitted ones.

Rose would probably love to do something like this, but she has no creative skills.

The rest do not apply.

OK, I am taking a break from the careful, detailed project I am currently on to answer.

Ahsoka: I immediately got a flash of something braided, like leather or fibers. Likely bracelets, necklaces, belts, headpieces, and cords.

Selina already has given Jay a bracelet of braided copper wire, so likely something like that. Or more repurposed "junk".

I'm not getting other answers at the moment.

Those dragons are awesome!

Baze already makes booze and fireworks, and sells the former, so he's pretty much set for this question.

Would definitely eat those shiny pink chocolate dragons.

Aside from Floki, none of my pups are really crafty. Floki would certainly carve little things out of wood or bone, like figurines, idols, and talismans.

Emcee would probably do something like photography, since he enjoys taking pictures with his smartphone. Or, he can do facepainting/makeup. (I went to a Dresden Dolls show once where there was a booth set up for 1-minute drag makeovers. He would totally do that.)

Cassidy...I have a hard time believing he can make anything artistic. He's useless. (ETA: Cassidy can make moonshine, but it's not fit for human consumption. Or any consumption.)

Pam is not having any of this.

I'm really not sure how Bastion got into this situation, but I think I can make it work. Most likely they got sent in someone else's place after some sort of chain of domestic disasters prevented Torbjörn or Tracer from either going to the fair themself or sending someone who would fit in better than a reformed killer robot. (Including Winston, who is a genetically engineered talking gorilla who wears power armor.)

They don't really have any cultivated artistic and/or crafting skills in canon, but they have a reasonable amount of creativity, dexterity, and focus. The things I could most easily see them picking up on short notice are flower arranging and nature photography. Especially pictures of birds. (I also considered pressed flowers but it would probably take too long.)

You like pie? Sunshine's there with pie. Like, seventeen kinds of pie.

Also brownies and a multitude of muffins and cinnamon rolls, let's be honest here.
