Finished this one up today and will work on the next one tomorrow. I'm realy going to like the next one

Let me know what you think good or bad. Thanks.

You are on to something. I still agree with others in the other threads. You need to sale these on eBay or something. You could get a nice little penny for them.

They look amazing!

But what did the poor fairies do so wrong...LoL It is almost sad, maybe that is why they are so moving.

very cool!

you ask for honest and here goes me being honest
is that a stick the standing fairy is holding? thats really cool! i think if he was looking up at what has ruined his day, it would add a neat perspective. I love this scene as much as the other ones. i want to live in a world where there are little skelly fairies Oh! make a little Bertha fairy !!

now you need to make these life size a bit more and make a haunted forest with those fairies very cool love it

I love this one too!!!!!

You'd better get a copyright or whatever and find a distributer! These are just the kind of thing people will go nuts over!

Thanks everyone.

I love fairys..just the undead ones..he..he.

The next scene that I am going to do I think will be my favorite and last one that I post.
I don't want to keep bothering everyone with these but I do appreciate the nice comments that everyone has given.


He is holding a stick. I think I might reposition the head to look up more. I thought of that earlier but thought he should be looking at what he was about to stab. But looking up might be better thanks.

I would not even know how or what to charge for these.

Shipping would be an issue...I guess I could sell them with some assembly required parts needing to be put together.

What do you all think would be a good price to sell these at. I know time and labor and material cost..blah, blah, blah but what would you pay for one? Because I have no idea.

U had stated earlier that you used a 10 dollar skeleton from walmart. Is that a "blucky"type?if so what did you do to age it? I have a couple and want to get rid of that cheap plastic look.

No it was a 20" or so hard plastic..no the blow mold bluckies. The small fairies are the small ones on the skeleton garland from the dollar tree.

VW - all of these have been outstanding...I seriously doubt anyone would consider themselves "bothered" by what you're posting - they're brilliant pieces of art!!

I'm guessing you're considering eBay if you want to try selling them?
If you're uncertain what to ask, perhaps taking the cost of the materials at a minimum (I would think full retail value is a good basis there), and adding at least some kind of buffer on that...and don't forget the cost of shipping!

How does one put a price on art?
Especially if the artist does it simply for the love of doing it?
I've given away some things that people tell me, "You should sell that! You could make good money!" - I have a hard time asking for money for anything I've made simply because I felt the desire to create it. I'm wondering if you'll have the same problem.
If you do? Suck it up, and ask for some decent dough for these!!
They are fantastic!! You deserve it!!

Hey, a good way to find out a price for these is to list your first one on eBay and just see how it goes. You can start bidding at a price that would cover your costs to build it. In regards to how much for shipping, I would sell the smallest one first so the shipping wouldn't scare people away. Hopefully, you'd put up the skellie fairy in the jar up for bidding first. Then only tell me it's listed, no one else.....because I'd really like to have it!

Another option, if you don't want to mess with eBay and shipping is contact local art galleries. They sell local artists all the time and charge commissions. It can be up to half but you would still make out pretty good, that's why they are always so expensive.

Ooh, ooh...another idea. Enter a local art fair. You pay for a tent and you are good to go, though, you will need a decent supply of them.

Any of these options would give you a sense of how it would sell. But, in my opinion....you would be a success. These are exactly what the art world looks for. I would, in all seriousness, love to purchase the skellie fairy in the jar.
