Cross Stitch Commissions... Thoughts?
8 years ago
General
So, for those of you who saw this thing: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/26564913/
What did you think?
Do you want something like that?
If you do... what would you give for it?
If not... why?
It's a physical item, so yes it's something you'd get in the mail... and stuff. Except the pixelart portion, which is digital.

Yes I'd buy it (no I can't buy it, I'm saving for a new computer)
I would say fifty bucks. I say that because I've had packages that cost 20 bucks to send and it was crazy.$30 if plenty profiting eyes. Then again I don't know how much materials are. I'd actually say this should be the price:
Money spent on mateial + $20 for a safe estimation on shipping + effort($20-30)I do cross stitch commissions (they're all over on my Facebook page for it though). The materials are relatively inexpensive but it takes a lot of time to the point where the suggested $20-$30 would equal about $4-$6 an hour (based on how long it would take myself or other people I've watched cross stitch something about that size). There's also the possibility of the person not having pixel art for reference. That would take up even more time making it not really worth it.
I price mine based on what someone is asking me to do.
Hoops start at $12 for the smallest size and then if they want something larger it goes up from there. I have two framed costs that the smaller two sizes start at $15 and the largest one (because I won't got over 10x8 frame because I feel that starts taking too long) starts at $25. I will also add on extra if they want something over a certain stitch limit. I also have a $30 fee for if they don't have a pixel reference. And then shipping is extra based on how far away they are (estimate price on usps.com and then add in a handling fee to cover shipping materials).
Edit Note: These base prices don't include how much I would charge for time. I estimate the time based on how fast I can get through the number of stitches someone would want in their commission (like if they wanted a background as part of their commission like the one I'm working on now or no background like all the others I've done.)
