It's a little of many elements of different West Coast Native. As much Haida as Squamish. Those that understand native design know that it incorporates a number of preset design elements.

Being that my father in law was the director of the Tongass Forest for more years than you can count, some of us hillbillies know more than you think. Precut stencils have been around longer than you have and have never been big sellers. As with many things, it's the design that determines customer support. I came back from Vegas with a pretty lengthy list of interested customers. Whether or not it's a "big seller" isn't especially important. It's just one more product to add to the steadily growing list of "Master Artisan" products we offer to encompass stained glass, kilnforming, hot glass, torchworking, and sandblasting. A "master artisan" buys precut stencils? You bet. Many do. We do a lot of custom cut stencils for sandblasters doing multiple copies that wish to avoid the intensely boring and needlessly labour intensive task of manually cutting out stencils. Just send us your drawing and we'll send back the precut stencils ready to use. Or, chose one from our extensive library of designs. There's little skill required to cut out a stencil so why not let a machine do it for you and do a perfect job? Why would a pro artisan spend time on a $5/hr job when they can instead use their time to do something more valuable? Unless that poor pitiful artisan has so little work they do it themself just to fill in otherwise dead time? Nice try but no cigar. We do one of a kind. I was refering to a 'master artisan" using somebody elses artwork. If you want to be helpful, help your friends who took 4 hours to blast that dragon. 30 minutes, tops. Maybe you could sell them a real sandblaster and teach them how to use it. Dead time? Not much. Utah and Vegas are booming. High end houses, high end installations. Jack I just got back from Vegas where all the locals informed me now has the highest percentage rate of unemployment of any American city and the highest number of real estate foreclosures. Other then casinos, the only thing booming there is bankruptcy trustees and pawn shops. |

Jack As if there wasn't a vinyl sign shop on nearly every corner with a plotter/cutter. I've found some that even carried sandblasting resist. Typical D-anus, always on the dull edge of evolution. |

Victorian Art Glass supplies resist and silicon carbide to numerous sign shops. Adapt or die. Diversification is always good adaptation. |
