craft show AAAaHHHHH! (Dial-up warning - image heavy)

[zombiequeen]

I want the dragon... the purple gem is soooo cute.

I do take commissions

Also, these pics are HUUUUGE! I didn't know they were so massive when I put them on my blog...please let me know if I need to resize them or whatever.

[Aethian]

Resizing might be good, but I don't mind. :P

I'll have to wait till October when I do the majority of Christmas shopping and can do some for gifts for friends who love dragons.

[Dave1982]

Yes, please resize them.

I would love an octopuses for my daughter. She's almost 5 months and is in the chewing on everything stage, plus starting to teeth. She already has a seahorse and 2 of my penguins that she "talks" to, I'm always looking fo rnew "friends" for her.

Send me a PM and I'll give you my blog address so you can see my baby octopidders
Your daughter sounds adorable, I love making things that people will love

[trailerparkmedic]

Your stuff is amazing!!

I think you could stand to go higher on the octopidders (such a cute name). People will want to negotiate with you, so leave yourself some room for a profit.

I hope the craft show goes well for you.

I think you're pricing them low. Basically, given the quality, you're pricing them to compete with other toys that people could buy in the stores, not as hand-crafted items. If you are doing this deliberately, go for it. I'd give the rant about not undercutting people by undervaluing your work, but with crafts it's a bit of a lost cause.

[zombiequeen]

I guess they might be a bit low priced, but I was kind of pricing them at what I could afford...although considering I'm unemployed and basically homeless...maybe I could raise prices a bit. Any suggestions?

Depending on the size of the dragons I would spend 10 to 20 on one. Again thats depending on size, can't get a real good idea on what size they are from the picture.

Dragons are 18 inches long and have a 10 inch wingspan (with wings curled). I sell them for $25, but I also allow for a lot of customization for them. Horns, claws, etc.

[Aethian]

Yea that's what I would pay for one, customization should have added charge however.

[zombiequeen]

Depending on the customizations, I might add a charge.
However, I do four-legged dragons too, for the same price.
I'd hate to freak out the person I am working on a dragon for right now by upping the price, so I'll change it later.

[Aethian]

Yea never want to up a price on someon you already have a deal with.

[zombiequeen]

Yeah, I figured it would be for the best.
I have a box full of faceless octopidders right now, maybe I should finish them...eh.
I was talking to my husband about all the commissions I've been getting and he's excited...like "You get a room just for your crafts when we get a house" excited.
He bought me a camera for my crafts already too.

What I meant by custom being the same price, was color (of fabric I have), choice of horns/ears/tails/eye color. Collars are free, but I generally pick what that is. And I just recently changed my leg style so I could do four legs, and they look much nicer than the stubbies.

Remember that you're selling largely to middle class people. $25 is pocket change.
