:iconspacevoyager: Fancypants - June

gijinka amaterasu is coming along quite nicely. i probably won't be opening up for commissions any time soon. i still have one more trade to do and i don't have any pony plans after that.

i'll be attending metrocon in july, so hopefully i'll see some of you there! :wave:

here are the commissions/trades!

1. :iconjainanaberrie: Derpy (finished)
2. :iconshootingstar-l: Applejack (finished)
3. :iconadamlhumphreys: Flying Rarity (finished)
4. :icon16kittypaws: Pinkie in Can Can Outfit (finished)
5. :iconychrisa: DJ Pon3 (finished)
6. :iconteratelnet: Applejack (finished)
7. :iconduurpyhooves: Flying Dash (in progress)
8. :iconnazegoreng: Flying Daring Do (in progress)
9. :iconspacevoyager: Fancypants

shipping:
USPS recently raised their rates significantly. international shipping is now considerably more expensive than before. my ponies are quite large, and i prefer not to squish them in boxes. so i use 14x14x14 boxes where they can lay without anything being bent/squished. however a box this size cannot be shipped through first class mail, the cheapest international option. it has to go through priority. the largest box i can send through first class is 12x12x12. so you have an option to either pay a little more and not have your pony a bit squished in a box (usually just their tail and hind legs are bent a bit) or take the slightly cheaper option of first class mail.

thanks everyone!

Fabric depot fraud

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 29, 2013, 3:06 PM
  • Mood: On Strike
  • Playing: Paper Mario: Sticker Star



to all the plush makers out there -

a few of us have experienced fraud in the past few months, all from a travel agency/hotels/ etc. all my cards, even new ones issued to the same account, have been compromised. the only websites i use my cards regularly are fabric websites. after speaking with some other pony plush makers, who also have had travel agency fraud, we've connected it to fabricdepot.com. it makes sense because they take your credit card number directly instead of going through paypal, so someone is likely getting into their server and just taking the numbers.

i've already called them and hopefully they'll get it sorted out so we can continue using them - between losing them and fabric.com we're really running out of minky websites here! please spread the word (and/or share your story if you've experienced fraud too) so other people can avoid this hassle.

Flying Dash Ebay Scam

Apparently last night an Ebay scam artist was trying to sell my flying Dash, but I didn't see the auction before it was taken down.

I am not, and do not plan on selling a flying Dash on Ebay any time soon.

My ebay name is bjaniszewski. If it's not coming from that name, it's a fake.

Alright, that's it! Cross your fingers..

3. :iconhimanuts: Big Mac
4. :iconhurricanechiela: Twilight as Star Swirl the Bearded

Once again I ask for patience from everyone, and thanks again! I look forward to making your ponies :3

Yep, it's time for commissions.

I will be opening for 3 slots. Since everyone's in different time zones and works at different times, I will accept commission notes for 24 hours starting tomorrow at 6:00 PM EST. No notes dated before or after 9/9 6:00 PM EST - 9/10 6:00 PM EST will be valid. I will post a journal when the time slot opens and closes. I will pick 3 people with a random number generator. Each person gets one pony.

Please remember that I work full time and have to study for professional exams after work also. I may not have the fastest turn-around time but your commissions will get done. I will keep you updated and post progress pictures on my tumblr.

Please see prices on my front page. If I do not have the material needed on hand, I will need $40 up front to cover the cost. If you want an OC, you must pay the entire price up front. Otherwise, you pay when your pony is done.

So my boyfriend :iconponiesnpillows: is now my pony apprentice. he's never sewn before so we're starting with pillows. they're the same design as the ones i made before in my scraps. so if you're looking for some cheaper, more subtle merchandise, it's a great way to go :)

feel free to request any pillows you're interested in (he said he's not comfortable with commissions yet).

dash will be up in a couple days!

I'm all settled in here in jacksonville! i'm loving my new home, it's so great - especially my sewing room. here's a post on tumblr of it if you'd like to see:
[link]
I'll be working on ponies for now and cosplay when I get a paycheck (I start my full time job tomorrow). we've been buying a lot of furniture and things so money's tight. unfortunately i won't be able to go to metrocon because of it (it would have run my boyfriend and i about $500 total and frankly i can't afford that right now). my next con will be afo then, i think.

oh and i used to be ravenhedgehog, i changed my name, for the record!

  • Playing: Kid Icarus Uprising



as soon as i settle into my new house i'll be working on cosplay again. my boyfriend :iconshiosvip: and i are moving to jacksonville may 11, so things will be slow around then. i plan on remaking pit for dragon*con, and i also want to make bolin from avatar for my boyfriend, which would be lots of fun! so look out for those progress pics in the future.
i'll still be making ponies here and there too, but my work will be a mix of both from now on. i'll probably be slow to respond to anything later on next week and i'll be without internet for a couple days after i move.
