My 3D Origami - your thoughts please....

I'm not spamming - these things don't travel by post very well!
When on my ADHD I get a new found source of focus I never had before and I decided to channel it in to 3D Origami models. I make animals with them but mainly do swans at the moment (I live near Swansea + lots of Swansea fans nearby + Swansea City are doing pretty well in the Premiership and are in a major cup final for the first time in the club's history) and am looking to sell them. The question is how much.
The materials themselves cost relatively little but given this is done outside my regular job each model takes around 7 to 10 days to complete, depending on the customisation. So I was thinking of charging around £30 each. Have a look at the pics, do you think this would be about right?

They are excellent. I would suggest you look on etsy.com and folksy to see what other people charge for similar handmade items.
