Suggestions to Sell at the Artist's Alley

Post by zephyrnix »

I'm not sure if this is the right place for it, but I have some suggestions for artists that are looking for more ideas on things to sell at their tables.



My friends and I (who are by no means artists) have discussed at length that there needs to be Minecraft merchandise. Being the mature people that we are, we came up with the idea of plushies for many of the items and characters in the game.

Creepers
Spiders
Skeletons
Zombies
Pigs
Workbenches
Chests
Furnaces
Diamond Pick Axe (and other weapons)
Block of [Dirt, Cobblestone, Sand, Iron, etc.]
the actual main character
Mob Spawner
Flower


I know at least 40 immediate people that would buy plushies like these, and since Minecraft is rapidly increasing in popularity, it may be something to look into. Those that aren't interested in plushies could look to buttons, possible hand-crafted jewelery (necklace with pick axe pendant, for example). Just a thought.

A popular game where people supposedly build worlds and they may or may not be destroyed at some point. I never played it but it's very popular they say - I am old.

I'm going to be doing plush Creepers, if nothing else! I would do some of the other items as well, but it's very difficult to make such blocky looking items in my medium.
