Im in love with Sparky! (Frankenweenie by Tim Burton) Disney
I think he just came out amazing, this keychain was made for one of my dad friends son. Everything you see is made out of polymer clay, no paints. 100% handmade
EDIT: I forgot to mention that his eyes and patches Glow-In-The-Dark
Thank you! (: I sculpted each part them used "Fimo Deco Gel" and wire to attach them together. I also added more clay to the edges and smoothed that all together.
Nicely done just a small friendly advice, don't sell yourself/work short, it's worth a lot more than what you're charging for him right now ( based on what I've read in this thread) you've got a lot of potential to go far!
It's understandable, I was afraid of listing too high as well when I first opened my shop. I think the key trick is to create a piece that doesn't take you much time to make. Sell that, wait til you get some positive feedback and then relist that item you sold and include in your listing the positive feedback. Word-of-mouth is your greatest tool! If I take your Sparky for example and made one like it, I would easily price that for 40 to 45 dollars. It may seem like a lot but keep in mind if someone seriously loves your work, they will appreciate the time you put into it and will not mind paying what you are asking for. One formula I've learned to use ( among many other sellers on etsy) is you calculate the cost you spent to make the item + the hourly wage you would like to get paid. You take that number and multiply it by 2 or 3 times and the number you come up with is what you should be selling it at. So let's say it cost $2.00 to make sparky, you would like to make at least 20 dollars an hour so that would be $22.00 multiply that by 2 would give you $44.00, you can start charging even more once you are really set up and people start to know and remember your name That's why I was saying don't sell yourself/work short, you have talent, just be careful to not let people take advantage of you, you deserve every last penny for your work Sorry not trying to give you a lecture of sound rude or anything, I would just love to see someone with your potential go far with it If you have any questions, I'd be more than happy to give you a boost in the right direction
