#also update: the snail is gone and the two largest rabbits broke (WAH...) but I'm adding several cicada fidgets + lots more to the shop!

I'm doing a shop drop today, and I thought I'd give a preview of my pricing! This pretty much spans the range of my prices, although there are a few cheaper and more expensive items in the shop. Explanation of how I price things below the cut:
I price my work based on time it takes me to make them, size, and level of detail/sophistication of work. I start by paying myself a baseline of about 10 dollars an hour, but then I flex that based on how big the sculpture is. For instance, sculptures that are only 1 inch long or so, like my cicadas and hedgehogs, are rarely ever going to break 10 dollars even if they're super nice and detailed. Then I adjust the price for level of detail and sophistication, which is why the sakura fox and the moth are more expensive—they are fully detailed pieces with unique personality.
Shipping costs just depend on where the sculpture is going to and what size of box I need to use. It's easiest for me to ship to the USA and Canada, but I can look up other countries and arrange sales on a case-by-case basis too. You'd just need to message me about it, and I could unlist the piece in question so no one else bought it while I was doing the research.
