Hi all, I have been with Etsy for about just over 6months and have only had one sale which was a commission. I would appreciate if people had a look at my items to tell me if they think they are too expensive and if they are items that they feel are appealing aesthetically. I believe in myself and products, but not so sure other people do. Thanks for any feedback, comments or suggestions

I think everyone has given good advice. I just wanted to add that the pentacle is gorgeous!

Your pieces are beautiful. I don't think overpriced, they are one of a kind. But I agree with others that you should list more items.

Not overpriced, and they're beautiful! Just gorgeous.
Seems like you have maybe a niche market which could work to your advantage as there may not be many people selling the same thing. Having more items will definitely help your traffic, as will working on SEO.

I really hate to say whether or not something is overpriced, especially for something I am not familiar with like woodworking or carving. I know it takes a lot of time, care, and effort, but I don't know exactly how much so I wouldn't make a guess.
I agree with people on putting some more stuff for people to look at, and also some smaller items. Even if your items are not "overpriced", I agree with whoever said that most people on here are not willing to drop that much money on something ($1000+). The majority of buyers purchase smaller things for less money. Not a reflection on you or your products, just the audience milling about.
But speaking of which, I have to say your style of carving is kind of for a particular type of taste. Your designs are similar (in my opinion) which is great, but it might also limit you for someone who does not prefer them. Everyone has their own taste. My suggestion is maybe to try a few more different types of designs on items so that customers have a variety of looks to choose from.
