Twenty

I think I owe a little explanation to everyone. I know my page has been overtaken by Blythe. Indy & the Ninja is still here! The hair accessories are not over, they are just taking a back seat for awhile because I have been pretty much overwhelmed by demand for my Blythe custom work.

Blythe has truly been a whirlwind I did not expect when I purchased my first doll in 2010. It’s been crazy and exciting and best of all, creative! And hey, what girl doesn’t like playing with dolls?

Despite taking a lot of March off, I’ve done 20 customs this year! Sometimes even I am amazed. I’m so happy that people out there love my Blythes! And I have the best family that supports me in this cat-lady-crazy obsession of mine!

Interview with … me!

I totally forgot that Michelle did this interview with me as I have been fretting too much about packing!

On a little break

I’ve just put the shop and Etsy on holiday mode. Just going on a vacation for some must needed R&R. Will be back soon!

 

March already?!?

20120302-203910.jpg

Finished 4 dolls this week but I’ll be taking most of the March off from customising. Starlet, above, has a luscious human hair reroot. She’ll be on BK soon.

Blythe Commissions Update

Commission prices will increase from July 2012.

I know a lot of customisers are feeling that commissions are less worthwhile than finished dolls for sale due to the price difference. Finished dolls are often fetching many times the price of a commission. So, many commission lists out there have not progressed or reopened because of this.

So the price rise is taking into account what is fair for me as well as being able to continue with commissions, not just focus on finished customs for sale. And it still adds up to less than what a finished custom sells for.

I apologise if you’ve been waiting on the list only to find prices have gone up. I have been working through the names as fast as I can, but for me to continue having a list at all, the reality is that I need to be earning more for my time or return to other work (and possibly cancel the list).

I greatly appreciate your understanding! Thank you so much for supporting my work!
