Default attaching a label to a turning

Hi William

William my better half does the pricing and sticker thing as well as
the paper work, she's much better at that than I. :-))

My bowls are always finished and the ones that have an oil finish do
present a problem sometimes, however putting less oil on the foot has
made it less so.

As I number most all of my turnings, that number goes on the sticker
with the price, so if stickers fall off they are not switched to the
wrong turning, also as a backup the gallery has prices and numbers to
alleviate any possible problems.

The stickers themselves are very small and cut from labeling or address
labels, with the # sign and number and the $ sign and price, clearly
handwritten in small letters/numbers.

Some galleries do also need a vendor number, and this is on a separate
little label.

This is the way we are doing it now, and it works just fine, if we find
a better way, we'll adopt that.

Have fun and take care

I have some turnings that I wanted to try and sell but the problem is
attaching price labels to them.

I'm looking for a way of attaching labels to the bottom of a bowl or a
vase that will stick without damaging the surface. Most bottoms are not
currently finished but are smooth and sanded.
