Sushi - Shrimp - Food To Go

I hate it when they ask you at the fabric store 'What are you making?'  They always figure it's a dress or pillows or something.  When you give them an odd response it seems to throw them for a loop half the time.

Well, OK, one of the three ladies at Hancock's cutting counter knew who Zoidberg was from Futurama and she busted out laughing, the other two were clueless.  We both tried to explain but they just didn't get it.

 

Anyway, this week has been shrimp, both large and small.  Little 2" shrimp to go onto catnip sushi. Three colors of shrimp to be made up as raw and cooked (yes, there are blue shrimp for sale at the store sometimes).  Some I put tails on, some I don't.  But they all get those knobby backs when I do the detailing with 4 strands of thread. 

 

The sushi is always popular at Pennsic War so I'm making sure that this year I'm not going to run out before the end of the 11 day event.  Some of it will be sold by the piece, probably in a basket with a neat little sign. The rest will be sold as sets with plastic packaging, we've been saving up a lot of plastic containers.  I'll do up fancy labels like they're really proportioned foods, with photo pictures and laminate the labels.  Just to give things a new look (AND to sell them as sets of 3, 4 or 6 pieces). 

  

I don't have any pictures of the packaged ones yet, but these give you an idea of what the others look like.  My goal is to have about 50 sushi and shrimp as separates, and about 24 packaged sets.
