Well, by dingy-dongy, I done it. I was determined to finish the MaMa Gift Shop tonight, and I did, but now I’m totally ragged and have to go down for a while.
I may or may not make it back up for the Sunday morning zoom meeting, but I will give it my best try when the time comes — I won’t know until then.
So the items I selected for the gift shop were things I thought were fun and affordable.
I’m very impressed with the prices, but that’s because I took only 5% for the museum, which makes the resulting price actually the museum’s cost, but the gift shop is considered a public service, not an income-producer.
The museum depends entirely upon donations.
I’m considering several dozen very good ideas for online museum exhibitions, but they’ll all get up there eventually — you won’t believe our luck in getting some of them, but we do have them, and we will show them!
We have some amazing collections in the area of modern art and in the field of ancient artifacts, and we’ll be showing those off very soon now, along with educational material, which is what takes up most of the time.
The total time I invest in each exhibition tends to run anywhere from ten to twenty hours.
One very interesting aspect — we have the virtual ashram, actually a time machine in which we can build just about anything, any culture, any civilization we want, and it will look terrific in a screenshot.
Apply that to jewelry and other items and you get an incredible amount of material, more than any other museum can bring to the forefront.
In addition, I have the computer skills to create anything I want to make in the Godd™ Engine, and when you acquire those skills, you can do it, too.
Add to that the astounding number of graphics that everyone has accumulated in the past several years of internet sharing, and you get a whallopingly huge number of items you can offer in your gift shop or whatever you set up.
If you grow and sell packets of natural seeds, or find yourself operating a small family winery, you’ll appreciate the warmth and natural flow of the kunstmatrix gallery.
Please let me know which items you loved, which items you hated, and which items you didn’t see but would like to.
I’ve tried to give a good selection here, but it is limited to about 40 items, of which I’ll be switching to other items as time goes along.
My idea is to have a totally new gallery every so often — I won’t erase the present gallery, I’ll just add a gallery to the list of galleries to which they can go within the store limits.
It’s easier to do than to explain. Stay tuned for more.
Gah, I’m totally pooped. Gotta go. Please check all the links in the gift shop during the morning meeting. Thanking you in advance for your feedback.
See You At The Top!!!
