I make sock monsters (like sock monkeys, but a little punk) and they are extremely popular with my college age friends and I've made a few for pay. Being a crafty individual I love to make these things. I've recently thought about selling them to the public. They fall halfway between toys and textile art and each one is an individual with its own adoption papers.
So my question is what sort of market place would support the sale of these things? I'm not looking to support myself, but I would like the hobby to be self-sustaining (which at $4 a pair doesn't take too much). The local farmer's market has crafts, but they're all sort of 'country kitchen' and I don't think my little monsters would sell well enough to make a table affordable.
Also, and I know this is hard without seeing the little guys, how much would you pay for one? I've seen similar items sell online for anywhere between $25 to $40.
