~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyday, I'm getting more and more comments from people who want clay dolls. They're a huge hit with most people at school, and for quite some time, I've been planning to make a bunch and sell 'em online.

I'd be happy to make people some in my spare time, but I'm not very aware of how comissions work out.. ^^;

Plus, I need to start my website ASAP. I've already got a form written out (thanks to meh buddy) and we're still goin' at it.

If anybody wants to see my "skills," check these out & tell me what you think. If I were to make more of these, how much would you be willing to pay for it & would you buy it? ('cuz I dunno about how much I should sell them for ^^;)

Here are the ones I've done as of yet:

On a scale of 1 - 5 (5 being the best), how would you rate these? x3 There will be more coming soon, but they won't be recent. ^^;;;

My best ones are usually animals.. the little cute cartoony kind. lol~

I'd buy one, if I had money!
Maybe one day, when I get a Paypal account or something...

As for the price...I suppose it'd depend how big and how complex they are.
I think anywhere between $3 to $10 would be okay for a medium-complexity doll with the height of probably around 2 to 5 inches.

I dunno; I'm really bad at pricing.

I've always been thinking about taking commissions [to save up for University, although I doubt anywhere would want to buy stuff from me X'D], but never know what prices to pick.
I used to make clay things for fun now and then, and it's sometimes hard for me and sometimes easy, so I don't know how much effort is needed to make something people would consider "medium-complexity"...
Sorry if I'm not much help... ;__;

Oh! Almost forgot!

I think, if you exclude the part about "complexity", anywhere around $3 to $20 sounds good. Again, depends on how hard it is to make [and size]. If it's harder, raise the price [but negotiate first, of course].

Oh~~, and have you ever thought about make some of your clay dolls into stuffed animals~~~? I think a lot of people would like that too. :D Although maybe the price range should be $7 to $23 for these?

Aww thankies ;w;

They're quite small actually o_O About 2 inches. XD; *supah puny*

I was thinking of doing a figurine-type thing... but then I was like.. I'd need plastic 'cuz this clay is a bit too fragile. :P

But your advice is really helpful! ^^ ~:heart:

Stuffed animals? I've done that before.. just not the exact same stuff as the clay dolls. XD; But that's a good idea though :D

hmmm.... they are cute, but i would rate them a 3. the Naruto one is probably your best

you should work on smoothing out the rough spots and adding more detail, cuz they seem a tad....... "flat"...

im not the best, but i would love to help you out if i can!!!!
you can see some of my stuff here if your interested in my help===> [link]

Never give up on your goals, you'll get there someday if you work hard to reach them!
