Pipe Cleaner Haberdashery

i just made this lil hooper guy tonight :) if anyone likes this posts and comments that they want him i will message you for an address cause he's all yours! and if you want you can share a picture of him and if you get it more than 25 likes i will encase him in a merkaba and make him a hanging mobile dealie!!! hahaha

i am starting to think i should teach pipe cleaner funtimes instead of ever trying to offer these things as products. so many people have told me, you could make money off these. i know. but most of the really fun stuff i have made, that i love, has been over 20 hours of work, all labor of love. i like doing it that way, and i love gifting what i make. i never once have felt remorse spending money on pipe cleaners and i know they aren't the most environmentally conscious item or anything. it's what i do with them that makes me feel free about it and i have no desire to take that sense away from myself. it is magic. but, i would love to spread the joy of it all more thouroughly. i do agree that what i do should be shared! really though, they are pipe cleaners. anyone can do what i do with them and should. it's fun and it is really less than intimidating to approach as an art form. so, if anyone wants to help me promote this as a service, i think festivals would be a great place and beyond that, maybe i should try and get some substitute teacher gigs or something teaching art to younger kids. i have even thought about how fun it would be to teach creative writing in conjunction, like making kids create a character or an object out of pipe cleaners before writing about them or something crazy like that! anyway, random idea, lemme know what you think!
