The Major Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Nice. Keep up the good work. If I can add one thing. Those edges look kind of sharp. You might want to round them off slightly. But all in all nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ETW Grumpy Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Very cool looking skulls. Nice job coloring it, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted March 12, 2008 Yeah I like it! Brave touch with the colours. I picture this in my mind and think it won't work but seeing it I just love it. Brain is a tricky thing. I also wanna add a pointer about edges and that is to don't go to near them with the carving. It can produce a bulge on the edge and also it looks better with some space to the edge, the carving pops out a bit more I think. Keep it up and keep 'em coming!

alpheus94 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 I was going to make all three skulls white, but it was my wife who suggested the different colors. Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm still learning, and GREATLY appreciate the input. Anyone have any advice on how much to charge for something like this? I have had some people ask me to make some for them, But I have no idea what i should charge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indypbear Report post Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Alph, Good job! With those edges beveled and slicked I'd say $10-12.00. Check and see if that falls in the calculation arena of material x 3 or 4= selling price. Don't sell yourself short. You have a custom product with your name/maker's mark on it that will have value to the owner as "made for them". $0.02 worth.

Spider Report post Posted March 13, 2008 Yeah, I think Indy is right. I have charged 25 but it was for a more detailed wristband. Custom is custom though and not a mass produced item. That is what I sell also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
