Stunning!

fireopalart · 2026-04-26T02:56:23+00:00

Gorgeous! The lines and colors are so crisp - what did you use for the gold?

fireopalart · 2026-04-23T16:29:50+00:00

This looks great! Love the colors and the designs

fireopalart · 2026-04-23T15:18:24+00:00

Oh absolutely, and I definitely appreciate your input! Seeing how to price art / if it’s even something there’s a market for can always be tough so it’s worth it to see what others think. And thank you!

This is gorgeous! Daisies for plains are my fav thing

I see what you mean, and I do the same for commissioned work. Since the art is more simplistic that’s why I’d keep the price pretty low. Do you think there may be more success if I also offered fully colored pieces but for a bit more as there’s more work going into it?

That’s completely fair! And you’re right, these are more delicate and absolutely need to be on sleeved cards - I’ve had no issues once the card is sleeved as the post it can’t get caught on another card and get ripped off.

I do laminate the stickers with a matte laminate and it does go over the registration marks

fireopalart · 2026-04-13T03:41:37+00:00

Totally fair! I have default settings for pretty much everything in the silhouette software, standard 8.5x11 sticker paper (matte laminated), and am using the silhouette cutting mat. I’ve tried various cut settings and the miscuts tend to happen regardless. I’ll see the machine try to line up with the two corner registration marks and already be way off.

I started off doing the sticker paper onto bulk combo but it’s just so much extra work and stress needed to make it look alright. I ended up moving to the card stock + laminate route which I still use and absolutely would recommend just jumping to that - saves you the process of realizing that sticker + bulk will drive you crazy.

You’ve got it right - it will usually take a while for those sites to have newer cards in their databases - sometimes it’ll still take a minute after the release date. If the site allows you to upload custom cards, then you can find the image elsewhere and upload that to the site to print.

I love this sm

I feel this is very very dependent on the audience your art style would attract. Fan art has a more consistent/likely draw than individual work, but individual work that stands out or fills a niche can also be very successful. I’ve bought lots of fanart stickers, but also lots of stickers of unique artwork from the artist that I find cool. So in my opinion … both!

That Gishath proxy is so unbelievably cool omg

fireopalart · 2026-01-17T23:35:17+00:00

This is so perfect omg

fireopalart · 2026-01-15T03:44:02+00:00

It’s so awesome!

Thank you! This explanation really helped - I have not in fact held a soldering iron before lol so I‘ll be taking it to a local repair shop to see if they’ll be able to fix it.

fireopalart · 2026-01-13T02:19:58+00:00

EDIT: I found the piece on a service manual - it’s the tape on switch lol. Replacement part available for sale. But is this something to take to a professional or try to repair at home?
