Here here. surprisingly the hand made / small run ones are cheaper than the more mass produced big business ones. Perhaps the artists under value their work or they just ask for what it actually costs, cutting out the middle men? personally i dont mind, my preference is always to buy direct from the artist if possible.
I stand corrected, and I extend my apologies, DMS. My comment was naive, and it is no excuse, but I think I thought you designed some other toys that I found to be out of my price range.... http://www.crisrose.co.uk/ So, humble foot pie. All up in my grill.
I wouldn't call Cris Rose's toys expensive either. When you consider the cost of materials, and the time and effort that goes into them, Bargain! The fact they all sell out in minutes backs that up. Plus the designs are often far better than most production toys.

A one off piece I made for the handmade toy swap on SMYV.
Has a glossy wet look with clear resin water droplets.

They are all pretty cool. Why so expensive? :( It's a rhetorical question.

Just curious which ones you're talking about? This isn't even for sale :) I don't think any of my stuff is expensive!

I find it surprising that many pieces are so cheap (in the general community) compared to the hours and materials put into their pieces.

For me personally, I hate to have stuff hanging around. I make so many pieces that unless I price them well I'd run out of storage space.
I don't even want to think about the time factor and how little I'm getting per hour!
