I also want one for my 'snug', our little front room. At £60, they are highly affordable. See how they go and up the price if you get swamped with orders.

So imaginative and poetic!<BR/><BR/>About pricing, yes we all have this problem. But I agree with Tess. 60£ is really too cheap, how can you make a living with such prices? If it was a painting that took me 4 days I'd probably charge twice that price but I agree that not many would pay this for a clock. So the 100£ tag sound like a good compromise.<BR/><BR/>You're not selling "just" a crafted object but a complete work of art!dragonladychhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388676720313631946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-10787117444132680202008-07-18T12:42:00.000+01:002008-07-18T12:42:00.000+01:00You just found a new niche for your fantastic artw...You just found a new niche for your fantastic artwork and creativity, Rima.The clock is just magica...and now I'm off to your clock site.

The first clock sold very quickly and I have several custom orders and people waiting on any new clocks that I make. It seems that the general consensus is that I am undercharging... so the prices might fluctuate a bit, at the mo I am thinking of keeping the price low ish for the clocks I make and then sell on etsy, but custom orders a bit more. <BR/>SO chuffed at the positive response and happy that people are liking the idea :) <BR/>On with the next one then!<BR/>Thanks again <BR/>x RimaRima Staineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044701472535300254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-83405270719610345092008-07-14T16:30:00.000+01:002008-07-14T16:30:00.000+01:00Rima!

I've been a fan of your Etsy store for a long time. I love the new clock, and really enjoyed the website you have created. The sound is wonderful, I usually turn it off when a website has music, but I actually left this one on in the background because it is so pleasant. <BR/>I guess you are learning the sad truth that pricing handmade objects has different rules than pricing "art." I've never really understood why that is, but that said, I think your clock price is very reasonable, and that you will have no trouble selling at that price, and will probably find very soon that you need to increase it.<BR/>Anyway, I'll keep checking back, as I would love to have a beautiful painted clock in our house!Jai and Lauren Soloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858051819260556323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-86942553485263057532008-07-12T00:13:00.000+01:002008-07-12T00:13:00.000+01:00Hallo, here via The Green Man.Oh my, what a wonder...Hallo, here via The Green Man.<BR/>Oh my, what a wonderful site you have and these clocks are gorgeous.herhimnbrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182397064631016552noreply@blogger.com
