Thank you! :)

And yes, in a sense i love my failures because they are a chance to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it and problem solving is fun.

If I'm still doing this in a year, I better start selling or I'll be broke and drowning in dice. 😅

Thank you for your insight! :)

I mostly create because it makes me happy (and because my alienated son is a DnD nerd and dice collector and if I can do anything that he might actually accept from me, I will), so potential future selling is just a bonus if it happens.

And yes, selling soap without a really expensive license is illegal. It kind of makes sense because it's possible to mess up soap making to the point where it becomes dangerously alkaline. But also not because the same rules apply to completely harmless things like lip balm.

Of course you won't get caught selling a soap bar here and there to your friends but you can't market them or anything.

:O Wow!

I saw someone say here recently that the market is saturated but guess not then?

I think if I get to the point where I consider them worth selling, I'll try at the "Christmas market for nerds" (yes, we have that here) and also ask my local board game store. And in the meantime, some social media probably doesn't hurt.

My previous overly productive hobbies recently have been soap making and making colourful hanging ornaments from quail eggs. Soap is technically illegal to sell, so I gave them away but sometimes people ended up giving me something else, completely unrelated. And the quail eggs I managed to sell enough to at least pay me back for the materials (counting bird feed as material 😅) without much difficulty.

You too! :)
