I just got images of what my Mona Pia plush line will be looking like! Remember a couple months back I said I wanted to make a plush that was cheaper for everyone? I think this girl is the answer to that. Mona sees to be popular with people, so either later this year or early next year I'll be having a kickstarter to raise funds to make a small, exclusive line of her in plush form.  These are photos I got from the company. ***Note this is a prototype. The actual plush will have embroidered eyes and detailing!*** How exciting is that?!! I aim to have these at about $25 plus shipping, so it is a steal compared to my usual custom prices. i'll need a lot of support to make this happen, though, so tell your friends!

This is just an example of what I deal with- every day. I normally don’t reply but I get this multiple times on different sites. It is *exhausting*.

It is getting to the point that I am basically harassed on a daily basis by people with crazy complex characters (characters that are $100-300 over my base price because they are ridiculously detailed) that would take me 30-50 hours to make and would expect them to be $50. I thought it would be great to become popular, and while I am blessed with the steady business I have, this is wearing on me mentally. I can’t take it much more. This is a daily thing I deal with, and it is insane. I purposefully am coming up with an “under $100” handmade line, as well as a professionally produced $25 line, but that is perpetually overlooked. I don’t care about anyone except my rich customers, right?!

I am strongly considering making characters I want to from now on and selling them afterwards, and only taking commissions from people I already know respect what I do. This is disgusting. I am not sure I can do this much longer on an individual commission basis.
