"The big bunch"

I have been thinking of collecting all my needlefelted animals and take a picture of them, and maybe use as a business card for the fair =) And when Jane was talking about the "big bunch" in a comment I finally got started on that picture. Actually they were a lot more than I thought =) And still I couldn't find my mouse, and I have given away one dog, sold 4 mice and 4 cats and given away some sheep and several teddy bears =)
I do have a terrible separation anxiety, but I think it will be best for some animals to move, so I can make room for new ones, I love needlefelting and I can see how I get better and better and I want to develop even more so some have to go (I wouldn't mind the money they could bring either... ;) ) But now I'll always have this picture of them all, before I start selling them =)
I hope I will have many more for the fair, because so many of these are staying with me ;) The Pettersson families dog, the mini version of my late dog, some teddy bears, some cats.. yes, I wont sell them all, so that's a relief =)
I borrowed my husbands camera for this, it was great, even with a not that great photographer like me =)  The super macro button made me start wishing for a new camera after all ;) (I do like to stick to things I know, like my old camera and computer and stuff like that.)

The dogs

The schnauzer, Chinese crested and a lying white poodle will stay with me, and I'm starting to really like the white terrier too, so he might stay as well.... If I'm going to keep every other animal like this it will take me a good while to get a big bunch.... ;)

The cats

Two of these have already moved in to my 1:12 house. But some are going to the fair =)

The newest dog, I think he looks a bit old and tired =) And I have no clue what bread he is, but I kinda like him anyway =) I hope some one on the fair will like him as well, and bring him to a good home =)

One new dog and one new cat =)

I hate to brag, and I'm always uncertain of my things, are they good enough?! but I have to say I think this cat is kinda funny ;)
I made two cats that are "washing" them selves, one grey (which I'm almost about to keep for myself... ;) ) and one white one. (The white one was a bit quick to the selling-box, so he didn't make it to the picture, but you may see him at the picture above, on all the cats)

Then someone asked for a giraffe, so I started making one =) or 2 so far, took much more time than I first thought, all these spots are kinda hard to do, I roll and roll the wool to get a tiny piece to add on the body =) Fun, but it took 3 hours (effective time) to get it done. I thought I should time a project to see how much time I spend on things =) But the dogs take more time, so I never remember to time them =)
And it doesn't really matter, but I thought it would help me decide prices.. which is so hard!!
I hate deciding a price... I'm afraid I will overcharge people, but I think I have been very cheap so far..
Since I get a little separation anxiety I could just as well keep my stuff if I'll sell them too cheap, so I think I had to raise the prices so that I can feel more happy about selling things =) Otherwise I could just keep them =)
So I have double some prices =) And right now the cheapest teddy bear cost 40kr (around 6.2USD or 4.5euro) and the most expensive dog is 230kr(around 35.5USD or 26Euro). My cats cost 90-130kr. (14-20 USD or 10-15 Euro) Since all my animals are a bit different I have different prices on almost all of them =)
I hope to start an Etsy shop after the fair and sell some animals now and then =) I'll tell you when or if that happens =)

Do you have a tip on how much I should charge for my things?? I don't want to be too cheep or too expensive, I want a perfect price ;) Buts its hard to know what the perfect price should be =) Do you think the prices looks OK right now??

And when I was taking so many pictures I got an idea to make a tiny children's book. First I made a book with my teddy bears, first picture is with one teddy, then two and at least ten teddy bears =) Then I made a book with cats and then dogs too. This was fun, but took more time than I thought it would. I will be selling these books on the fair too =)

 Sorry for the bad picture..

I've made them in Swedish right now, but I could just change the text and make some in English later =)

Next time I'll show you the generous package I received from Conny =)
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog =)
Take care
