So SB for everyone who gives feedback!
because I obviously have to bribe you guys to get anything outta you xD

Jk, I love you guys and the feedback is much appreciated!


Would anyone be interested in them?

I really love sculpting clay and today I bought 6 packets of Sculptey III, a jar of glaze and custom mold-makers. I just made this guy from one of the packets~

Click

So what do you think? I would really love it if some of you could answer the following questions!

1. Would you order a custom/buy something that comes form a mold?
2. How much? (REAL MONEY ONLY! Unfortunately GB does not pay for the clay!)
3. What would you like the see made into a mold?
4. What do you think of the one above? :D

Unfortunately, like stated above, I cannot take GB or SB for these. There is no way that I can keep making them if I take that as payment since here in Australia everything has to be the most expensive shit on the market xD Idk if that's true but all my supplies today cost $52 ;-;
Most likely one custom will be $10 or more. I'd only be getting $5 from that since the packets of Sculptey (as small as they are) cost $5 each. Or if people think they're worth more I won't say no to a bit of extra cash x3

@Enigma~ Ah, thank you! Yeah, molds would definitely cost less than customs as customs take so much more time. And it would solely be busts - the price for a fullbody would be so ridiculously high because of the cost needed for the clay that no one would buy it x/ Thanks so much for your feedback! (The mouse idea sounds really cute :o And that idea of photos from every angle is a very good one, a nice way to reassure the buyer that they'll get what they paid for.)

@Sarabi~ Thank you! Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to sell them for 3.50 - $4, though, because the clay packets alone cost $5 x.x

Sending some SB to you both now!

1. Would you order a custom/buy something that comes form a mold?
If I could afford it I certainly would depending on the quality.
2. How much? (REAL MONEY ONLY! Unfortunately GB does not pay for the clay!)
I'd say 7-15 bucks depending on the difficulty of the custom.
3. What would you like the see made into a mold?
I'm always a sucker for avian things, but I know those are hard for a lot of people XD
4. What do you think of the one above? :D
I like em, their actually really cute.

THough question. Would people be paying for the entire thing? Like to have it mailed to them or something, or just for the pictures of the mold details?

@Eddie~ Thank you! I don't actually find avians that hard, I love them :D
You would be paying for the actual bust. Not just photos, but for it to actually be sent to you. (So you pay, let's say, $15 for the bust, I'll send a series of progress shots, then you pay for the postage and I'll have it mailed to you.) You would also have to pay for shipping, although if you live close to where I am I might consider lowering the price and paying half :D

1. Would you order a custom/buy something that comes form a mold?
- I'm not really into clay stuff but my mother surely would for example. :)

2. How much? (REAL MONEY ONLY! Unfortunately GB does not pay for the clay!)
- hmmm, that really depends on the quality of the item, I'd say around 15-20$-ish.

3. What would you like the see made into a mold?
- Ohh, I love deer, felines and fantasy creatures, anything creative <3

4. What do you think of the one above? :D
- It's nice! Maybe try to color them naturally and add eyeballs? :) I'm sure that'll be a lot of fun too!

@Lia~ Thank you ^D^ Yeah, the dragon is actually made out of a sparkly clay, so when you hold it in the light and move it side to side it shines o3o I'm hoping to sell them all, actually.

1. Would you order a custom/buy something that comes form a mold?
Not me personally, I'm just not really interested in buying sculptures but I'm sure there would be interest!

2. How much? (REAL MONEY ONLY! Unfortunately GB does not pay for the clay!)
If they are custom like in those photos $15-20 AUD sounds reasonable depending on how long you spend on these and the interest you receive; less if they're from a mold. I live in Australia too so I know postage will probably be a nasty price on top of that sadly.
If you're going to be painting them I would recommend buying the bigger super sculpey original pack. It just comes in a beige colour, but it will be cheaper.

3. What would you like the see made into a mold?
Lions would be great to see on here of course! Other than that dogs/cats would probably be popular.

4. What do you think of the one above? :D
They're cute! If anything I suggest you put a bit more detail in if you're going to mold them, something like fur texture would work well and the extra time would be worth it. I think glass eyes would look great too as has already been said, I use glass cabochons with eye images behind them like these. They're really easy to make (or buy already made) and give them a more realistic look. :)

@Lionclaw~ Thank you ^^ Unfortunately my local Spotlight doesn't sell the larger packets of Sculptey, otherwise I would've gotten them already :/ And wow, those eyes look amazing. I'll look around for some cabochons or something else I can use :D

Ahh I know, I used to see them in Spotlight but I don't think they stock them at all anymore. We have terrible craft stores here, I can never find what I need! I bought my last pack off ebay. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to order in the summer but other than that I think it would be the best option if you want some.
