In the next round, she would see if they could make something else. She just wanted to check their work and see if she could use them in the future.
Calista found other artisans such as a sculpture artist, who could turn a stone or wood into anything. Of course, in places like theirs, these kinds of artisans were rare and even considered wasting talents, but it was this kind of talent that Calista wanted.
She told the middle-aged man to make two sculptures for her, a snake and a cat first, using both stones and wood. If she loves them, she will hire him permanently for life.
The man was very excited. He thanked Calista profusely before rushing home to start on this assignment.
Other artisans she liked were these three sisters who happened to love tinkering with stones to make jewelry. Gemstones weren't easy to get hold of, so these ladies happened to use stones from the rivers and mountains, as well as seeds to make beautiful jewelry.
