Why not, it's been nearly two years. There's some updateage by now. xD For example my twin sishstar has wisely embraced the finer points of plushing, and using EVERYTHING I TAUGHT HER HIPPIE-MUSICIAN ASS, has begun to build a little reputation in plushing nice Pokemons in her ~PeaceFluffles account. That of course by definition makes her all booked up with commishies for now, but I thought it was just cool to share. She shall never inspire me, on the other hand, to embrace musical jargon. No one can. I can't handle that shiz for shiz. *-*

:iconpeacefluffles: So thur's my plushie-newcomer twin sis.

SO, it may have only taken an Ice Age and a half, but my rate of plushie production seems to finally be staying where it minimally should be. ^__^ My place of employment for 10 years has closed down, helping to leave plenty more time to commit to plushing. We should be seeing a more regular output of plushies from me until I (hopefully) resume school next year. The only uh-oh is I'm noticing some pain in my plushing wrist that may be hinting at the beginnings of carpal tunnel. >_< I should've predicted it too. Tracing, cutting, sewing, turning, and stuffing of each plush depends on my right hand and I haven't given a single thought to the possibility of straining it from working on plushies full time. Now it occasionally hurtz. xD And every plush I make will now be a little more valuable because of it. HOW KEWL IS THAT? *U* (No need to panic tho. xD I may see if I can train my left hand to be good for anything.)

Now I'm gonna update my commission info and copy my sister's style of listing down project slots and there ain't nothing that granola can do about it. *u*

COMMISSION STATUS: CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

COMMISSION INFORMATION - A plushie's base price is simply 10$ USD per inch in length. Length pertaining to my commissions is defined in this image: [link] Additional charges are as follows: $10 per extra tail, $20 per set of wings, and +20-60% for additional work on designs requiring spots/stripes/other intricate patterns depending on how complicated.

Payment: Completely flexible. :3 I can accept the full amount upon completion of your project or 50% up front depending on your preference. Paid work simply gains priority in timing of completion. Only original characters will require a 50% deposit that becomes non-refundable once the project is well under way, so be absolutely sure you're serious!

FAQ:

When will commissions be open/do you have a wait list?
Not anymore. Those require responsible adults to keep track of and I haven't proven able to do so. Instead, when commissions are about to open I will announce it a few days ahead of time and designate a pinpointed time/date after which a limited number of slots will be filled on a first come first serve basis. I get a lot of requests all the time and this is the best way I can think of to give the most serious peoples a chance to get included. I'M TRULY SORRY I CAN'T DO BETTER. ;_;

Your prices are kinda steep. o_o Why so expensive?

Put simply, plushies are expensive for their creator to make in materials, time, and work. I've found the 10$ per inch/etc thing to be the lowest sustainable rate I can go while making back my own costs. Quoting a triple-digit priced plush is always an embarrassment, but just a cold hard fact of life for this line of work. xD

Can I buy or order a plushie if I live outside the U.S.?

YES. :3 I am willing to ship globally. Just be warned of the occasionally INSANE postage fees out there. Economy services aren't always an escape depending on your territory, especially for oversize plushies. *-*

I wanna learn how to make plushies! *U* Where do I start and what do I need?

First and most importantly, the patience to keep trying and a positive acceptance of failure as part of the trial-and-error process of learning. Nothing but experimentation and experience will help you see any improvement, so don't be too quick to lose hope! This is as far as I can go until I get around to making my own tutorial (I've completely decided to make one *u*)

Here are some resources to help get started:

NunoDoll Maker with beautiful stuffed animal tutorials - [link]

CRS Crafts books and patterns (also a good place for fur fabrics and other plushing supplies) - [link]

More safety eyes/noses - [link]

Plushie fur fabric sources:

Can I make you some waffles?

Yes, please do.
