update for 11.19.2010 - heya there~ I'm not going to be accepting any more commissions at this time (unless you've already contacted me about a price quote before-)
I might reopen when I complete all of my previous ones, so please keep an eye out if you're interested~ ^^ I have quite a backlog of work to do, and do not want to add any more to that list-

I have a whole bunch of premade stuff I need to sell *__*;; will be taking pics of them soon~ (most of them will be really cheap since I could use the money and they're just taking up a lot of space in boxes *__*;; )


To everyone who is commissioning me now, I'm really sorry about all the delays and whatnot, I hope I can work faster.... ;_; I'm so sorry for my slowness TT_TT





===========================================

update for 10/29/09-- I'm still working on and accepting commissions~ I'm kind of slow, though (I'm so sorry for those of you waiting ;_; )

I probably won't be accepting much commissions next year (either on a very limited basis, or just later in 2010, if anything) so if you're interested in one, let me know? I probably will be still doing plushie commissions until the end of 2009 and after that I have no idea



Geocities closed (just recently?)
I have posted commission info here, instead:

If you'd like to contact me, email is probably the fastest (if you don't hear from me after a few days, there is a chance I might not have gotten it) it is : ichigo @hawaii. rr. com (no spaces)

I do check notes at least every other day- ^^ I do not check other parts of DA yet, I will soon I hope *o*;; I kind of miss it. (I need more time in the day~ ) so if you comment anywhere and you'd like to contact me I might not answer for a while. (plz email or note instead, thanks so much!! )







--------------------



Hello everyone~ I haven't been checking my DA for a long time *o*;; actually- I should be getting back to everything (including on commenting and looking through a lot of stuff in my inbox ) now that con is over and I don't need to prepare for anything (just need to finish up those commissions~~)
I has 1,434 deviations to look through *o*;;

I was able to get a artist alley table at Kawaii kon-- since my friend was on the waiting list and it was really last minute and I didn't have much time to make anything so everything for sale was things that I had boxed up ;;;;;;;;; (I did get rid of a lot of stuff though )

But I already registered for next year so I can actually be prepared next time ^o^;


the con itself was pretty neat-- but I had a mishap in the parking lot with a beam on Friday night and damaged the side of my truck ;___; (my first accident ever ) at least insurance will cover the majority of it but that was an absolutely horriffic experience. *_*;;;;; so I didn't do Hetalia cosplay on Saturday (I made a Sealand outfit, lol I'll wear it eventually-- )







Anywayy-- commissions will probably be closed soon, but I'm not sure yet ^^-- (let me know soon if you'd like to have one made)-- but I need to get my current ones done soon (I'm so sorry for the long wait ;x; ) If it's an emergency and you need one made quickly-- just note/email me and we can arrange something... but otherwise, be prepared for a slightly longer wait




Thank you for reading/commenting on my stuffs I really appreciate it! Hope you all are doing awesome! ;D

*****1/29 Update*******

My cold is gone, and I'm getting a lot of progress done on commissions






*********************




Hello everyone~! It's been a while since I've done much on DA... TT_TT;; almost 600 deviations to check~~ D: lol, I think I'll ignore it for a little while longer so it piles up..even more!



I hope everyone had a great new year



I'm still sick. o_o;; I've had a cold for a little over two weeks-- although I did get some antibiotics from the doctor yesterday (since I've had it for so long it's most likely an additional bacterial thing? or something like that-- ) I do feel a little better for the first time in two weeks after taking it so I guess it's working~?


I won't be working on plushies until I'm almost completely better-- I'm very sorry about this- I know some of you have been waiting like, forever ;_; I blame it on my immune system XD I hope you can, too.


I won't be selling at artist alley this year D: at least not at Kawaii kon~
I'm such a moron, I didn't sign up for an AA table immediately- cause when I checked in late December it was alreay sold out. ugghhh... I'm so stupiiiddd~~~

*sigh*


oh well


Ah, if anyone was interested in getting some of these premade plushies: [link]
I'm willing to sell them for even cheaper, I just don't want them around since I know I won't be able to sell them at a con- just note me with offers and I'll most likely take it XD seriously, with most of them- just as long as you are willing to cover shipping costs I'm willing to send it to you. I am willing to do some trades, too-- XD



Ok I'm done~
thanks for reading XD

I'm offering free shipping for ALL of my PREMADE plushies. (NOT commissions) Even international orders---!! (first class airmail)
So anything on my etsy page [link] or on my website [link] gets free shipping wherever you are. I added some new stuff, too~

(for etsy, checkout as usual, when you pay with paypal then it should say that shipping is free. If it doesn't, deduct the amount that you would have been charged... if you have problems with it, please let me know)





~thank you

Hey everyone! I’m almost done with my already paid commissions (7 more to go! ;D almost 6--)

So I will be reopening plush commissions again--


I will probably take about 1~ 1.5 months to complete them (probably sooner, but it‘s hard to say you can get a better idea if you check my lj page) I will definitely get them to you by Christmas. ;D if you need it by a certain date, always let me know beforehand. I will be working on them as quickly as I can.

I will work on new commissions in the order I receive payment.



I will begin sewing your commissions as soon as I’m done with these last seven XD but in the meantime, I will be buying the fabrics and materials so I can get started on them as soon as I’m done with the last bunch.




Please see my website for plush commission information. (just updated XD)


[link]




Please email me or note me if you’d like to get a price quote. ;D





If you don't hear back from me after a day or two, I probably didn't get your message, if you could resend it I would appreciate it. ;_;



Hm… I’ll be adding a lot of things to my etsy store soon since it's a lot easier to buy things that way *w*;; (I'll be adding a lot of the premades on my website and a few other new things that I didn‘t take pictures of yet) I'll be making a new journal entry when I do



~thank you!

--------------------

I want to thank the person who bought me a DA print ;_; I have no idea how to find out who sent, it but I just got it on Tuesday thank you so much!! please let me know who you are so I can thank you-- *w* I really appreciate it!

I write, you read and that’s it, really.





I hope everyone has been doing ok~

Aah, for the past two months, I have been really going at a slow pace, I deeply apologize to all commissioners, I’m usually a lot faster than this ;_; My motivation was next to nothing and I was feeling all emo and crap.


I did get to do a LOT of reading and stuff… *w*;; (shoujo manga and a whole lot of BL XD)


But the pace is picking up again-- and I think I’ll get a lot of sewing done by the end of this month. ;D I have a lot of progress on a lot of different projects. online shopping is my new source of motivation XD It's true.



I’m going to be accepting commissions on November 1st. (I thought I would be done with current commissions by the beginning of this month o_o;; )
meaning I'm going to attempt to get all current commissions done by then. ;_;



Those new commissions will be done as quickly as I can to get everything out for Christmas shipping deadlines, and I will be working right up until that date (usually it's around Dec 19th, right? )



For now, I will only be doing commissions of human-type characters. (as long as it's the same pattern I always use. Ears or legs or arms can be modified, but I won't make anthro unless I don't have to change the face/body pattern) There are a lot of more talented people who make animals and creatures for less than what I would charge, and they'll come out nicer, so for now, I will not make them. _{I don't want to charge you as much a regular plush, because I don't have much experience with them, yet it usually takes me twice or three times as long to make as a regular plush and I am generally not as motivated so it's a no win for me D:}




but if it's a small plushie for a plushie (as an acessory), I can do that, most likely XD


I am going to be raising prices. I know I might have quoted you a cheaper price earlier, I’m sorry-- those prices are not valid anymore. A normal 12~13 inch human-type plush (with embroidered faces) will be starting at $60 (for simple/plain ones) and more like $75~80 for plushies with moderate/high amounts of clothing details/etc. Shipping is the same, $5.50 + $3 optional insurance for US/Canada (Canada shipments with first class mail can‘t be insured) and $11 airmail worldwide.
If you’d like insurance on international packages, the prices start at $28. (it will be mailed with global priority, those are the prices the post office charges -.-; I can also ship with EMS, please ask if you'd like it and I can check prices for you)






Huh? I know it’s a lot. Please don’t complain to me, I feel bad enough as it is. TT_TT;; And I am not expecting much commissions because of this.

Quite frankly, I’d be lucky to get even one or two commissions at this higher price XD.

But it still takes me at least 10 hours for one plush. (usually it‘s around 15~20 hours D: ) and somehow I don't see it being worth my time for less. ;_;





...well, it was either that or I wouldn't take commissions at all. I‘d only make things that I really want to make


..and then I can start working on those trades ;_;



Just wanted to let any of you who were interested in getting one know about the price change beforehand so you could make up your mind either way (to get or not to get XD )



Um… I think that’s it, really. I gotta get back to finishing those last commissions--



I'll be making a new journal post at the end of the month, when I reopen commissions again.


Ok, I’m done.


Thank you all for your continued interest in my stuff~! I really appreciate it! Your comments and favs always makes me feel very happy and less like the pathetic loser I've always been
