NinaMarie's Crocheted Monster High Fashion

[NinaMarie]

Hello! My latest challenge to myself was to attempt to crochet some super cute doll accessories. It's been incredibly fun and now I'm showing off what I've come up with.

Ugh why does photobucket flip my images sideways??

I am working on another bag like this but in shades of pink.

So there is what I have done so far. I'm a bit nervous about selling these because of the work that goes into them my prices will be much higher than some of the sewn clothing I've been seeing on etsy. I don't know if that will turn folks away.
I am open to commissions!

Also interested in doing a trade with someone who sews. I'd really like some cute tops made. It's so much easier to crochet skirts and accessories than tops that aren't bulky and stiff. So if any of you talented tailors out there are interested please pm me!

Thanks for looking!

I love your swimsuits and the first dress that is so her.

[Wrenn_Rosencrantz]

The bag is awesome!

Don't be nervous about selling stuff!  Just put up one at a time until you gauge interest.  What have you got to lose, but 20 cents?

Wow, your stuff is Gorgeous, I especially love Skelita's outfit! Its so totally her. The swimsuits and accessories are awesome too!

I know what you mean about being afraid of high commission prices. I knit and I know what I would charge for my time is a lot higher than folks might be willing to pay, but like others have said, give it a shot, you never know...heck if I ever end up with a spare Skelita, I may ask you to make me one of those outfits.

You've got a great eye for monster fashion. I particularly like the way the antique skirt and top go together, and Skelita is quite pretty as well.

Great work! I especially admire the yarn wig.

Nina, those outfits are awesome!  I love the swimsuits:). PM me and we'll chat!!

[Colorscapesart]

You make beautiful work!  How do you work so tiny?? 

That purple swim suit is haunting me!  Gorgeous!

I love the beanies!

We have long winters up here and I use beanies for many months, now I am tempted to get some for my ghouls too!

I also agree that you can put one or all of them up for sale, they might not sell, but then again, they just might. You never know and all you lose is the time it takes to upload the pics onto Etsy. So give it a try.

I also like the yarn wig, really funky and cute. I think it makes the ghoul wearing it look cutesy.

[NinaMarie]

Thanks so much for all the kind compliments!

I thought I might put up a sales thread here on the arena. Then maybe I could take trades as well.

I have an etsy already where I (try to) sell hair accessories and earrings. I've not had much success so i'm not really excited by using etsy to sell my doll stuff.

[Dorriebelle]

I know what you mean, I'm really reluctant to sell my creations, too - mine seems so amateurish. Yours, however, is flat-out, full-tilt gorgeous, and I know there's a market for it. Heck, half of us here want that skirt or one of those swimsuits ! Give it a try - ya gotta build your rep sometime !

I'd 'Favorite' you ! 

[Keelee_von_Cupcake]

Your work is amazing! I love the way crochet looks, and I'd love to learn to do so for my dollies, but I don't think I'd ever be as good as you.

[NinaMarie]

You guys make me blush  Thanks!

Well for all the interested parties here is the link to my brand new sales thread! I hope to add more to it soon.
