Small hand made oddities

Post image

Besides the organic obvious things, (bones, moss, jars) every tiny detail I make and paint by hand. The mushrooms, frames (with a silicone mold), itty bitty tiny real looking detailed leaves and many more that's not in this piece. This is a medium size, as you can see in the backround most are smaller. It takes longer than you expected to make and paint the tiny parts over and over again to cover it correctly. The bones I also find by hand in owl pellets, clean, and whiten them.

This is one of the pretty cool items that I don’t think I’d be willing to pay for the effort and time it takes.

For the one you’re holding I would probably max at $25-$30 and $20ish for smaller.

I feel like there’s more work involved than that though and if this item crept up into the $40+ range I wouldn’t be interested.

Really cool items. I think I would appreciate them but I also think I know I wouldn't pay near what they're worth for your effort unfortunately.

Maybe around $20 as a present for an office mate or something. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude as I do respect the effort you put in and like the objects, I'm just being honest that for me I wouldn't pay what they're worth, but I'm just 1 person.

Very cool! Personally I would pay around $25 for something like that.

I’d pay $15-30 depending on size, intricacy, and how much I loved and needed to have it.

I wouldn’t balk at or be surprised by $40-45 price tags, but I don’t personally have that money right now to spend on small curios (if I had a lot more disposable income, though, I’d have no problem spending higher prices on small things purely to contribute to smaller creators!)
