Because commissions nearly drove me to the brink of insanity, I have changed the way things work here.

From now on, instead of keeping a long and intimidating list of people who want axolotls and bats and contacting them one by one as I make them while my shop remains empty and abandoned-looking, my methodology will be this:

I'll be making "MADE TO ORDER" listings in my Etsy shop periodically, based on the materials and time that I have. This will cut down waiting time for you, my dear customer, and will keep me from going mad with bat bits all over the house.

Cretur Fetur FAQ

Hello everybodeee

I can't say that the status of commissions has changed, really; they are technically still closed until about July, as I catch up with the backlog. The good news is I am no longer stuck on one huge order and am making relatively rapid progress! But the experience has led me to change the rules a little bit:

Only one cretur per order. This is so I don't leave other people waiting for a long time. I think it's more fair this way. You can absolutely place more than one order ]]> http://creturfetur.deviantart.com/journal/State-of-the-CF-221356907 http://creturfetur.deviantart.com/journal/State-of-the-CF-221356907 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 15:10:01 PST State of the CF nonadult journals/personal creturfetur http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/r/creturfetur.jpg?1 Copyright 2011-2013 ~creturfetur

COMMISSIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY CLOSED, except for spherecreturs

One of my commissions has exploded into many commissions for one person, so while I'm making several pieces it still technically counts as a single commission. And then, of course, there's all the other ones! Long story short, I'm pretty much fully booked until like May, and I am wary of taking on more commissions to fill the rest of my calendar because I'd like to have some time to work on things that I can put in my store.

Hi everybody!

I'm just posting to let you all know that I'm catching up on orders and I'll soon be notifying some of you about commission availability!

HOW COMMISSIONS WORK:
When I contact you, I'll ask you for what you want and then I'll give you an estimate based on your description. After that you can choose whether to go forward with it or not; if you decide the price is acceptable, I will give you my paypal address and begin working on your piece upon receipt of payment.

Hello lovelies!

I just went out and got myself a fancy webcam, and I'm thinking that as soon as I figure out this livestream thingamajig I'm going to do just that. I'm banking on the idea that if there are people watching me I'm less likely to get distracted from my work and wander off into forums or blogs or something like that.

So, probably in about an hour or two, I'll update this post with a link. Hope to see you soooon~

I've been reading and answering all your comments (they have brightened my day considerably! I'm talking blinding light kind of brightening), and I've noticed some questions that get asked frequently. So in an effort to give you detailed answers without much repetitiveness, I'm going to compile them here for your convenience:

So, the fair went pretty well. It definitely interested me in doing this sort of thing more often, maybe further north. I'm keeping an eye out for opportunities.

Commissions are still closed, super closed! I have a waiting list of people who want to be informed of when they open again, which I'm counting as commissions as well, so I'm pretty much full up until February. This makes me SO HAPPY. I'm poking away at some Due Before Christmas stuff right now, but taking it a lot easier than last month to give my wrist and elbow a bit of a break. Thanks to all of you who expressed concern before, I'm fine. :)

I've been working so much lately to prepare for the Dia de los Craftos fair on the 30th. I have 3 zombie heads, 1 large skull, and eight half-finished things. The half-finished things are what kill me... their unfinished status keeps me from feeling any kind of satisfaction from their existence.

ANYWAY.

Commissions are off right now, completely off, I am dying. Custom spherepigs are still doable because I've got those down to a science, but everything else is impossible until November.

I'm sorry I'm so behind on the bats! I'm poking as fast as I can! ]]> http://creturfetur.deviantart.com/journal/Upcoming-things-223611123 http://creturfetur.deviantart.com/journal/Upcoming-things-223611123 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 13:21:56 PDT Upcoming things nonadult journals/personal creturfetur http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/r/creturfetur.jpg?1 Copyright 2010-2013 ~creturfetur
Second - I've decided to extend the spherepig commission time to November. That means you can design and own your own spherewhatever for $20 during all of October. Hooray!

Third - October is going to be heavy on the bats, because it seems like a very bat-appropriate month. The bats will most likely not be as detailed as the other one I made because I intend to make a lot of them, but that also means they'll be cheaper, so yay!

WHAT IS A SPHEREPIG?
It is a felted wool sphere with a piggy nose, and may have eyes, wings, hair, legs, etc etc. Here is an example of one: http://creturfetur.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2xmjbe
