Our Etsy Shop

   It's been some time since we listed items for sale in our Etsy shop, mostly because we were busy running auctions and Storenvy, and our blog, and neglected to update our Etsy shop as often. It's now up and running, however, and you can browse some of our most popular items there, favorite and share them with others. All our latest made-to-order designs will be there, where they might not be in our other stores, so please do check it out if you have time!

   And if you like what we do, it helps us a great deal to share our work with others on social media and spread the word. We love getting new clients to work with! :)

Piranha Plant Snowglobe

   As you can see we make all kinds of snowglobes, and there's more where this came from! 

   This one is the famous Frost Piranha Plant from Paper Mario. Please contact us if you're interested in purchasing or commissioning any of our creations! :)

The Crow Snowglobe

   A second design for our Eric Draven / Crow inspired cemetery snowglobes. This time a darker scene with less snow on the headstones, as in the movie itself.

   You can order one of these at our Etsy store, here. :)

Japanese Red Kitsune Snowglobe

   Original one of a kind kitsune fox snowglobe by Envydolls

   Currently for sale here.

Japanese White Kitsune Fox Snowglobe

   Now available are our Japanese kitsune snowglobes!

   This white kitsune snowglobe is currently up for auction here.

Cactuar sculpture

   Final Fantasy Cactuar figures, by Envydolls.

These 3" polymer clay Cactuar statues are super cute! Comes either in a pot or on a small desert diorama. Don't forget we do all sorts of sculpting commissions; you can contact us to discuss one.

Labyrinth Bomb Goblin

   8" handmade sculpture, the cannon ball goblin from Labyrinth.

   Currently available at auction here.

Labyrinth Eye Lichen

   Another fun project from Labyrinth! This eye lichen plant sculpture sits in a real terracotta pot and would make a great ornament for fans of the movie.
 

   Eye lichen is currently available at our eBay store, for a short time. Check out the auction here.

Groot Sculpture

   This cute little chibi Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy was a sculpture we made and designed back in 2014 around the time we saw the movie! 

   Another sculpt also inspired by GOTG, and by Japanese chibi style:

   Chibi Groot proved a big hit and even the director of the movie complimented him! :)

OKAMI Amaterasu Sculpture

   This furry statue of Amaterasu from Okami by Envydolls now resides with private collectors in Japan. We had a great time making this one and hope to make more Okami projects in future. 

   We are currently open for commissions, so please use the contact information on the Contact Us page if you would like to request a commission.

Friendly Yan

   This friendly Yan sculpture!

   Friendly Yan is the 'black sheep' of the Yan clan from Final Fantasy 9. If you encounter him in the game he will ask for a diamond, and in return grant you the abilities to fight the toughest foes.

[SOLD OUT] 

Kitsune Fox Doll

   An Envydolls original, this dancing kitsune fox doll was inspired by the antique woodblock prints of Ohara Koson. Standing nearly 12" and wearing a leaf hat, this young fox is attempting the art of transformation into another shape or form. Japanese folklore has it that all foxes have the ability to shapeshift, like their tanuki (raccoon dog) cousins, and are mystical beings.

[SOLD OUT]
 

   We hope to make more Japanese folklore themed-sculptures in future. We can also be commissioned to create one. Please use the email address given on the Contact Us page to contact us about a commission.

Moomba Sculpture

   Another commission from a short while ago - a plush statue (not soft toy) of a Moomba from Final Fantasy VIII. He stands about 11" tall.

   There are no existing Moomba figures like this, despite Moombas having a sizeable fanbase. We will consider all commission requests submitted to us, so if you'd like to submit an idea for commission, please use the email provided on the Contact Us page. :)

REDXIII Sculpture

   Occasionally we take commissions from clients and these can lead to some interesting requests! Here is a detailed statue of a character known as RedXIII (or Nanaki) from the game Final Fantasy 7. 

   The figure is almost 12" long, with realistic texture and metallic feather barettes. We wanted him to look as realistic as possible so he has a 'real' mane and coat. He was great fun to do and with the Final Fantasy 7 remake on the horizon, we look forward to doing more FF themed sculptures!

   To request a commission, please us the email provided on the Contact Us page. :)

Is Storenvy Really Free?

   Last year we made a post about using Storenvy, a selling platform that offered a free storefront to online merchants. At that point the only fees any online merchant would have incurred by using Storenvy were the inevitable Paypal fees at whatever rate Paypal was charging in their country. It was free to have a Storenvy storefront, and free to have your items listed in what they call the "marketplace" - an internal search engine system whereby customers can find your goods from Storenvy's main page by entering keywords.

   Storenvy has since changed its policy to rival eBay and Amazon by charging around 10% of the final sale price for using their marketplace. You're paying 10% to be visible to their search engine, and are also required to sign up to using "Stripe" - something designed to make buying from sellers with multiple Paypal accounts a more "seamless" experience for the buyer.

   If you want automatic exposure for your wares, Storenvy is no longer "free" as it once advertised itself to be. eBay likely still has a bigger audience and potential for exposure for the same fee, although eBay remains notoriously indifferent to the concerns of sellers about its site and policies. Etsy still has a smaller audience than eBay but also smaller fees, but has grown considerably in the last few years and is recognized as a dedicated venue for hand-crafted works, so for OOAK artists like myself hoping to sell their dolls, Etsy might be your best bet at the moment.   

   Thankfully, Storenvy still allow users to operate their own free storefront, provided they remain invisible to the marketplace. You can still direct potential customers to it from your own site, or even a Facebook app, which is handy. So to answer the question "is Storenvy really free?" - yes and no. If you want to do all the leg-work with your own advertising and customer base, then yes it is. If you want to be searchable there and take advantage of the marketplace, get ready for eBay and Amazon-style commission fees. For OOAK artists selling hand made or high-end art, Storenvy's marketplace may not be the best place to find customers and grow a customer base interested in fine art (compared to sites like Etsy, or an actual art gallery).    

   Envydolls has a Storefront on Storenvy, Etsy and eBay - please do check them out! :)
