There’s a leafcat sconce on there too, that I think retails for $62 that I wanted (and am now kicking myself for not BIN at $50) that is now, oh, $66 last time I checked, with a day or so left on it.
Saw a spirit wolf somebody paid well over $35 for a little while back. People are incredibly retarded, not researching before bidding, or just way too lazy to look anywhere besides ebay.
I know, what I may ask is probably way too cheap, but it’s sort of just something I do while I watch or read LJ or the forums I visit, or in between posts when I RP. I put a lot more thought and pain into my artwork than I ever will crocheting.
I don’t really have an outlet to sell them here in town, unless I paid out the nose $125 for a booth at HerrinFesta when I’m not absolutely certain I could make that back, and I’ve checked ebay, nobody’s buying them there.
Ah well, nobody pays for nice things anymore, it’s hard even to get commissions sometimes. Poor is the word around here lately.
I would trade for Windstones, though, if someone offered the right ones, but other’n that, they go for what I can get for ’em.
She sort of looks like Valentine’s Day…
I’m not crazy about pink, but she’s cute in that girly sort of way. She’d be at home on top of an 8 year old’s dresser.

Oh, depends, I usually pay out about $20-$25, give or take just for the yarn, so it depends on how much of a pain the thing was to make. I’d love to get $100 for one, but that’s hardly ideal. For a full sized granny square type thing you can wrap up in? Probably $80 or so. $60 if I stopped now and you just got a ‘lapghan’ or something to drape over the back of the couch.
It’s cheaper than what I ask for the hours I spend on artwork, since it doesn’t hurt quite as much. 😉
Or, ya know, I could be talked into trading… 😀
Heh, I’ve had the problem of forgetting to count when I do things before, and ended up with a ‘scarf’ that was sort of…wavy…on the edges.
Took it apart and started again, so it was more or less even. At least with this stuff, you can pull things to pieces without much trouble at all!

Yeah, I kinda thought that when I saw them all go up, they’re starting them at retail instead of below. They won’t go for much more then they’re at now, if people bid at all. Not to mention that yah, the ruby oriental sun *can* stlll be ordered, but they’ve listed in their auction that it can’t.
But, I don’t desparately want any of them, so, more power to the seller if he gets what he wants for them.
There’s a ruby babe up too. just search ‘windstone’ and it’ll bring up a couple pages for you to browse through.

Hey, Dragonmedley, did you see this one?
My cats don’t do anything they don’t want to, mind, they aren’t obedience trained, but they respond well to negative stimuli, as opposed to praise for being on the floor instead of the counter. O.o
I can’t count the number of “How *dare* you!!” looks I’ve gotten for correcting a behavior, but they eventually stop doing the undesireable!
I need a picture of that offended look…
I don’t suppose I’m sure what I mean. Maybe the designer in me prefers all the curvy bits as opposed to the compact nature of the others.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen one of the western-style ones up close, so I may decide I like them both once the mum Ruffian is sending me gets here.
How about I reserve judgement ’til then?
I’m a resolute disciplinarian. My dog does what I say, when I say (though, there is of course, occasional room for amusing misbehavior, so long as it’s contained. ;)) but is allowed on the couch and the bed.
My cats are a little harder to contain, but they *are* containable. Kitchen counters, shelves, desks, etc. are taboo resting places, and scratching and biting the hand that feeds is also Not Allowed. Let it never be said that negative reinforcement via a squirt bottle or a sharp, brief tap with the tip of an index finger on top of the head for transgressions like biting doesn’t deter cats. I think it offends more than anything else but it is effective!
Threats to make a tabby skin welcome mat, however, usually go ignored. 🙂
This would be why my cats get in deep trouble for going up any higher than the couch or a chair…
Good luck, hun, it looks like you’re going to need it!
Granny squares and rows and rows of single crotchet stitches are all I really know right now, but I’m making the attempt to learn how to read patterns so I can do more.
My sister does all sorts of cool things, like flowers and such, but she’s got someone to show her, I’ve been more or less learning on my own. but I can sure fly around that granny square! 🙂
I’m tempted to see if I can sell them, but they’re a lot of work for what people will pay for them, unfortunately.
If you know of any easy patterns, point me in that direction, I need to branch out. 🙂
Thanks, that’ll be four pieces now, and I think, for the time being, I’m going to lay off unless I see a deal I can’t pass up, since I’m spending money I shouldn’t be. 😉
I guess I’d be one of the few that prefers the orientals to the western dragons, more to look at, I suppose, I dunno. Maybe I’m just weird.
