Attention, don't give away your work!If possible please

this news article so that more people can see it and be wary, thank you!

This week I received messages from two different people (through Etsy and Storenvy) offering to make a review of my work. They splattered huge statics, like having millions of instagram followers, popularity, or having done it before and making people famous. Of course, their generosity was conditioned by me agreeing to send them some of my work for free. While I don't object the concept of reviewing someone's work, I worry that this has become a popular way of scamming artisan crafters to give away their work for free with promises of exposure and increasing their sales. I wanted to write this journal to tell everyone to be careful, specially if you're just starting your business and struggling to get noticed, it may sound tempting but you should never give away your hard work!
One of them was even more blunt and said that he could write a positive review of my work just by

Miniaturists, unite!I haven't met a single miniaturist in deviantART that hasn't made the same question at least once: Where do I submit my work?.
Whether you make dolls, furniture, clothes, props, food, scenery, buildings, trains, wargaming miniatures, models, dollhouses or many other miniatures I'm surely forgetting, at some point or another there's no appropiate gallery to submit our work. Artisan Crafts / Ceramics, Pottery & Clay / Miniatures is only appropriate if you use clay, and the next best option, Traditional Art / Sculpture doesn't make the cut most times.
As renowned artist ~Snowfern so eloquently stated: "as I'm moving on to different mediums, I really do wish dA had some scale dollhouse miniature section right now, I can only post my mini clay work under clay -> miniatures, so everything else is quite random, like my 1:12 books are under....bookmaking??".
I'm sure we've all felt like this at some point, and ou

Talty's Artisan Crafts DD GuidelinesHello everyone! Remember to send me and ^maytel lots of Artisan Crafts DD suggestions, we love them! ^^ Artisan Crafts week at #projecteducate is quickly approaching, so if you have any suggestions or things that you would like to see, let us know!
Here's my guidelines for suggesting DDs to me, if I ever reject your submission please don't be discouraged and keep sending me more! It's impossible to accept all suggestions, specially when I already have enough suggestions for one area. Also don't forget that these are guidelines, not rules.

Attention all artisans: stop undercharging!As a member of the Artisan Craft community here at DeviantART, I looove to browse around the AC galleries and see what other deviants are up to, what things are trending, and look for up and coming artists to feature in the future. But sadly there's one trend I've been noticing that is very, very bad.
Undercharging your work!
Let's start off with the most important thing. Now I know some cheap buyers love these low prices, but let's be honest cheap buyers-- you're not long term supporters. People who want your work for super cheap are people who will haggle or snag a deal and run. There is nothing wrong with having sales, getting rid of old charms for cheap, or even doing discounts for special occasions but you can't cater to the cheapskates! xD You want people who appreciate handmade items for what they are. And that's a unique, quality piece.
If someone wants to buy all your hard work for just $5, perhaps you could redirect them to Forever21 to get some mass produced jewelry i

Stamps

Important: All prices are in USD (United States Dollars). Prices don't include shipping. Shipping is $4.50 anywhere in the world for as many things as you order and it includes tracking. I reserve the right to change any price at any moment as I consider it necessary. The prices reflect not only the materials, but also the time and love I spend to perfect each piece, therefore they're not negotiable.

This is only the price list, if you want to see my commission info please visit this page: [link] Questions? Don't see the price for something? Want a custom commission of something entirely different? Ask me!! I love custom commissions

A lot of the things in my gallery are already in my Storenvy! You can also find some of them in my Etsy.

Simple Earrings $7-10

Includes chocolate chip cookies, and simple rose earrings. Can be stud or hook earrings.

Simple Pendants $7-10

This is a quite broad category, simple pendants will be cheap, ask for prices!

Two Layers Cake Pendants $10

Cakes can be customized with pretty much any combination of flavors, fillings, frosting and topping you can dream of!

Certain toppings may require a small extra fee.

The same concept can be applied to roses or other simple earrings.

Custom made pendants with any combination of colors or effects you want, and the cat or dog is hand-painted with a tiny brush to match your beloved friend perfectly! The perfect gift for any cat or dog lover. All sorts of customizations are encouraged! The price varies with the decoration of the moon and pose that you want.

100% of the profits (minus shipping and materials) will be donated to my local non-kill, non-profit animal shelter, the Angeles Peludos (Furry Angels). so by commissioning a Mondkatze or Mondhund you are getting an unique work of art with your beloved friend, and helping animals in need!

Bracelets Starting from $30

Hand made polymer clay beads in a durable elastic band. Since they require the most pieces, they're also the most expensive. Made to order to comfortably fit your wrist.

Everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, then it's not the end.

I am going to order a Mondhund for my uncle for Christmas, I think. With his lab on it, who passed away five years ago.... Maybe a Mondkatze for my dad, who just lost his cat last May, two days after I lost my own.... My dad's was a rescue. I'd love to get one on my dog but I can only guarantee I will make 50$ working Consignment.

I must say the Mondhund/Mondkatze work is inspiring. I can't get to my local shelters, but my life was actually saved by a shelter hund. She kept a fox from attacking me for a long time until it broke past her and got my arm... Shelter pets are the best. And my two new beloved goofballs-I mean cats-they were last call. Twin brothers. We only wanted one cat but in the end we took them both. To this day, aside from tank pets and Boo, all my animals were shelter rescues.

Guys... this work means a lot. I once took care of a group of eight dogs for a week. The payment? Not a thing. The animals made it so worth it... All ten of us (Including my dog) had such fun!

~Sakura-NJP Jun 8, 2012
