Plush commissions - [OPEN!!]
Plushies for sale - [link] <-- new things added recently
Trades - [note me?]

plush status - [link]


Aaah, I'm finally going to be doing commissions again :XD:


Hey everyone~!!  aah, it’s been a while since I’ve done stuff… ^^;



Thank you for your continued interest.  I am always delighted/surprised when someone is interested in getting one.  :XD:

I’m really really sorry if I didn’t reply to your notes earlier… it has happened a few times, I’m very sorry TT__TT;; It’s not like I even get a lot of notes or emails anyway….  I'm so horrible-- DX


I will start to contact everyone on my wait list, and then I can work on them all.  I might need to ask some of you for reference pictures again. DX  The original notes gets lost in my inbox sometimes….  I only took note of your username and not what you’d like made. *is verystupid*

I need to contact all of you:
drinkteaordie
spazzykoneko
nut-case
copie-cat



Or, if you read this and you already have the reference pics ready, please note them to me again?  I will be super grateful. :)  I didn’t add the most recent ones, so I’ll know who you are.


If you are on this list, and you do not want to get one, or if you’d like a different character, that’s completely fine, just send me a note with the ref pics and it’ll be awesome.



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

F.A.Q


Here are some faq~ I get some frequently asked questions~
:star:  how do you make the face?
     I have an embroiderey machine.  I draw them in photoshop and then my machine stitches the design I drew on the fabric.
I sometimes draw them directly to the fabric with fabric paint.

:star: how long does it take to make a plushie?
     At least 8 hours.  It depends on the complexity of the design.

:star:  Will you remake something in your gallery?
     Yes.  I try to make them better, too.

:star: Will you make a ---- plushie for me?
    Sure.  Just send me reference pictures of the character and I can give you a price quote.
I don't do very well with animals/creatures, though D:  I do best with people or humanoid characters~ :)




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











:new::new::new: New commission information :new::new::new:

Pricing:


this felt type or [link]
Chibi felt - starts at $25
is made of felt and has hand painted eyes
they have big heads :XD:
they are good if you don't handle them too much--
I will only remake anything you see in that gallerey, for now.  I am running out of some colors of felt, and I won't be buying more (I can't make characters with yellow/certain shades of blue/red hair) XD  
I do not want to make any new characters, as commissions.  I will continue to make these style of plushies until I use up all of my felt supply. If you would like to suggest a character, let me know and I might make it. ;)
It is 12" tall.





and this type
Normal-type plushies - starts at $45
has embroidered eyes and is made of more durable materials :)
they take about 5~8 times longer than the felt type, hence the higher price.  The embroidered face adds three hours to the plush (vs painting) >_<;;
It is approx. 12" tall also. :)


I will not be doing commissions of non-human like characters. (no animal/creatures) at this time.  I might later on, but it is much too time consuming for me to do them now.  I'm so slow with them. :(

I can do gijinka or anything that is the same as the human-type pattern that I use. :)





Here is how to get one/what the process will be:
(Terms and condtions blah blah… D: You must abide by these terms, ok? ;) )


1) send me a note or an email (ichigo@hawaii.rr.com) with reference pictures and descriptions (if pictures aren’t enough)  

+ Please include what country you are in so I can give you the proper shipping totals.

+ Let me know if you want to have your package insured.  If you don’t mention it, I will not include insurance prices.  If a package gets lost or stolen and you do not purchase insurance, it is not my fault.  I will not issue a refund, or a partial refund nor will I remake it for you for free or at a discounted price.  Once it is out of my hands, it is out of my hands.  However if you do purchase insurance, I can either remake it or refund your money. (when I get refunded by USPS)
+ I can make as many characters as you’d like to get-- but I will not discount them because you will be getting many different ones.    Discounts are only for mass production of your own characters XD

2) I send you the total amount needed to complete the plushie.  The prices start at $45 and usually don’t go higher than $60.  ($25~30 for the felt type) But for something incredibly time consuming, it will be more.  The more complex, the more it will be.  If you would like the plushie to have as much detail and work as possible, let me know so I can factor that into the cost.


3) you send me the payment.  I will not start work until you pay me first.  I must receive your payment in full, no split payments.


I accept paypal, money orders or personal checks (must clear before I can start work on it.)

Please do not excessively  ask about the progress.  I have no problems with 1~3 times a  week, but not several times a day. ^^;  The more time I spend corresponding, the less time I have to complete your project. I have no life, so all my time is spent working on your stuff. :XD:  No, really it‘s true. ^^;


4) After completing your plush, I will mail it out to you. =D


5) I pray that it reaches you safely and hope that  you like it :XD:




Aaand… that is all!
Let me know if you have any other questions regarding commissions-- I want to make this as clear as possible.  

~thank you!!




======================================
[updated 7.26]
About trades:


I either do trades for art or for other custom plushies or other stuff that I might want but do not want to spend money on. :XD:



For plushie trades:  I will only start work on yours if 1) I’ve traded with you before, or I know you can work quickly/you make lots of plushies. We would both be working at the same time to get them completed.   or 2) you complete your side and mail to me.  That way, I know you're serious.  =D  I will work quickly to get your side done, once I recieve yours~  
I've had quite a handful of trades that fell through.  I had started on them, but had not heard back from them :|  So now, to prevent me from wasting my time, I do not start until I recieve yours.  I can't judge how serious your are, until I get your part.  I hope you can understand. ;.;




When I do trades (especially with art) consider it like me commissioning you, while you're commissioning me.  What I mean is that the dollar amounts should be somewhat equal.  If your commissions are $5~10, I hope you don't expect me to make you a $45~50 plush. because I won't.  ^^; I could make you two small mini plush, instead :) (which would be $5~8 each, regularly)  or maybe a premade felt one. :3

on the other hand, if your rates are much higher (say, $80+ for a pic), I will make at least two plushies, in return :3 (maybe more? )


For custom plush trades, though-- I won't tend to stick to this rule so often.  I will go by how difficult the design is. (if you'd like something in a somewhat simple outfit, I will try to pick a character with a simple outfit.  if you'd like something with more details and is more time consuming, I will choose similarly. or I could make two simple ones for a more detailed one from you/or the other way around.  This will all need to be negotiated on a case by case basis XD )  
I generally like to stay away from making animals/creatures, cause I'm bad at them, and they take so long x_x;;  I have the most experience with human-type characters, so you'll probably get something better. Also, let me know if you'd like to do more than one.  I like to do several at once, if you have the time and resource to make others~


I really love doing plush trades~ :3


I also would be interested in trading for clay figures/charms~  *w*:heart:


   

Please note me if you are interested in a trade~ :):heart:  I'd appreciate it a lot.

(I will probably buy from you anyway around Christmas when I get my holiday money X3 I just wanted to check)

Ohhh and are you still open for commissions (Hahaha sorry for not asking before)

Are you still open for comissions? Good fag/friend :iconheerosferret: linked me, (and showed me her progress pictures...) and tempted me. I, uh, never use DA, though- would it be possible for you to comment me by e-mail? luna1(at)xtra.co.nz.

I'd probably want two, just to forwarn; initial reference pictures are [link] and [link] , to give you a basic idea.

Hope I'm doing this right. :D
