He is worth more! Do you think you can get away with a reserve? Or start him out at $100.....see what heppens.

he's so gorgeous I bet you could do a buy it now for two hundred or more...and if he didn't go, just keep him...

can I suggest something? If you could photograph him with a warmer colored background he and his little ball would pop really nicely....just an idea...he really is gorgeous
I would do a postcard with him as the biggest one...he is incredible...

ok, have you considered doing kits and selling kits of maybe your easier ones? is that something you'd like to do or would it not be worth your trouble? I"m just thinking that since you have designed and done all these beautiful animals, why not use some of them to sell your own line of Pritten kits?

THanks!!!

I agree, Lauren - given that he is blue grey in tone - a warmer neutral background would be great - I just don't happen to have any at hand. Will get something of the kind next time I go to JoAnns! :) Or maybe I could soak this fabric in coffee - that might work.

I have been asked to make up a tutorial - and run it like an online class - for a fee of course. I also have been told of two different places where I could have books made up (Blurb and MyPublisher). I also know a woman on Flickr who was involved in putting together a needle felting book based on the works of this one needle felter whose works are cute but not very difficult - this book was published by NorthLight - so I've been trying to figure out how I might approach her (the woman on Flickr who was involved in that book, not the needle felter) and see if NorthLight might like to do a book on Prittens.

Still have some details to do on Barnum and need to rephoto him. I suppose I could do a set price - but I believe Ebay takes a much larger chunk of change if I do that. To the top of his tail while standing on the ball he is 8.25" tall!

I started work on a new Pritten today that if I push it, I could have done for Sunday.

Oh Jeanne...Barnum is incredible!

I can see how it would be very hard to sell him!

Thanks Olga!!!

I'll have to see what I can get together this weekend - if I could be sure that Barnum would fetch the sort of price he deserves, I'd be willing to sell him but Ebay can be so flakey!!

Maybe I'll think of some other neat circus related wosname for the Pritten I started - just working on the head (which takes hours - funny, they're small but they take a lot of time to do). Maybe on another ball but balanced on only three paws!! lol!!

Thanks! :)

Small creatures seems to do well on Ebay so I thought I would try to get one done. I'd actually like him to be even smaller but at 2" he's not too bad! :)

And I have an awful cold. BJ has had a very bad cold for a while and I finally caught it. Was so good this past winter when BJ and Jack got flu and such, I stayed healthy - and then whammo :(
Spent most of yesterday in bed. Going to try to get some things done and then will probably head back to bed. I hate being sick!

I just love these prittens they are so precious! I love Barnum the most! I'd go the reserve route. But then what do I know. I don't sell on ebay, and won't because you just never know.
