Longwinded there sorry.
Yes, this is true of the conventions I’ve gone to as well. For the art show, the items being shown need to be 100% your own creation, or a collaboration (if you have the other artist’s direct permission). This is fairly standard.
That’s odd — the con I went to just last month had two customized Breyers in the art auction! One of which was very beautifully done (and tempting!), though I don’t remember who the artist was. 🙂
Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).

As I said, it was true for the conventions I’ve gone to– not all have this rule. 🙂

My art: featherdust.comTry ebay and sell them as OOAK, or number them, explaining that each will still be unique. That would be a good start.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

I host the feedback lists, which are maintained by drag0nfeathers.
http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmI agree. Start with Ebay or smaller cons in the dealers room. When I’ve gone to Arisia (Boston Sci-Fi con) and Anime Boston (Northeastern US’s largest anime con), I’ve been able to go into the artist alley’s and not be too overwhelmed by the art available and been able to go and pick what I want through what interests me (as long as I have money left after lodging/dealers room/etc.). You could always try putting a piece or two in auction as well.
Btw, I love the Autumn Fire unicorn! That’s my absolute favorite! I love all his little leaves! *squeels* The ivy/leafy green one underneath runs a close second 😀

This is only true if you have 95% feeback or lower. If you have higher than 95% feedback they will not hold payments.
Quote:I have also been told because I’m using Breyer/PeterStone toy horses that I can’t show them or list them on some sites (ElfWood) that they are not “mine” that they are altered work.
So selling at a RenFaire isn’t possible they only allow original work. ( i consider my stuff original) they don’t because I use the toy horses to start with.

You are talented- why not start making your own horses instead of piggybacking on the Breyers? 🙂
I think with that caveat in mind about 95% and up, it makes a lot of sense to allow the item to arrive to the buyer and then there should be less hassle to get your money back if the item isn’t up to auction description.
And I agree with Nam that you should try making your own horses! 😀 Elfwood has always been a little more picky in what they allow, even when it comes to original art as it relates to subject matter (I’ve had a few works rejected because I guess they didn’t look fantasy-ish enough, despite my intentions LOL)
