| New Designs and an Announcement |
[11 Oct 2006|08:50pm] |
I've received a number of emails lately asking when Custom Persuasion would reopen, and when this year's Halloween designs would be released. Unfortunately, I have to announce that Custom Persuasion will be remaining closed indefinitely. To make a very long story short, I've been sick, and detail-oriented work like symbol painting triggers a vertigo-like effect that can last for days. My docs have no idea what's wrong, but it may be chronic eyestrain caused by a bad pair of glasses I purchased last year. Honestly, if you wear prescription glasses and feel like the prescription or the fit might be off, even just slightly, talk to your eye doctor about it.
I do hope to return to customizing eventually, but for now, that's simply not possible.
My original Halloween plan this year was to revisit some of my very early designs and update them with my current technique. I was only able to finish one -- Arachne, an updated version of 2003's Creepy Crawlie (and oh, what a difference three years can make, LOL). I also had two carousel designs from earlier this year ready to go, so all three are now on eBay.
  
( Click the thumbnails above to go directly to the auctions, or check the LJ-cut for a bigger photo of each design. ) (Update: Arachne's been sold)
I realize the reserves and BINs are a bit higher than what I normally charge. I feel that the time spent on and the quality of each makes the asking prices quite fair, and I'd rather just hold onto them than sell them for less. ;)
------
Finally, for those who are interested, I'm still crafting and selling online. Sewing is far less taxing on my eyes, so I've morphed my old Mint Conspiracy site into an Etsy shop specializing in unique plush designs. Please feel free to take a peek -- it's a bit sparse at the moment, but I try to update several times a week:
Whew -- that's it for now. This LJ will obviously be inactive for a while, but feel free to keep it friended if you'd like to be notified when and if Custom Persuasion reopens. In the meantime, the CP site's gallery and tutorial will remain open. ^_^ Thank you to everyone who's shown such interest in my designs!

This week, Splatter paints the town red -- ( or blue and green, at least. )
Splatter will be uploaded into the Custom Persuasion gallery tomorrow (Tuesday the 16th) at 4:00 PM Eastern. Once she's in the gallery, she'll be available for private sale for $32. Please visit Custom Persuasion for more information on buying customs.
I probably won't have any new releases for the next few weeks, as I'll be working on finishing up the carousel set, all of which will be released at the same time. After that, I'll be taking the summer off to focus on other projects again, and then it'll be time for this year's Halloween series to begin. Time passes so quickly!

Custom Persuasion receives a touch of glamour this week with the help of ( Silver Screen. )
Silver Screen will be uploaded into the Custom Persuasion gallery tomorrow (Tuesday the 9th) at 4:00 PM Eastern. Once she's in the gallery, she'll be available for private sale for $40. Please visit Custom Persuasion for more information on buying customs.
As always, thanks for reading!

This week's releases are a pair of safari/wildlife-themed ponies and their baby animal friends -- meet ( Monkey Business and Panda Preserve. )
Both ponies will be uploaded into the Custom Persuasion gallery tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4:00 PM Eastern. Once they're in the gallery, they'll be available for private sale for $38 each. Please visit Custom Persuasion for more information on buying customs. ^_^
Also, I'm in the process of setting up a private auction system. I've gotten a number of comments from people who are unable to work around my current sales method, so I'm playing with the idea of putting new releases on 24-hour auctions to give all interested customers a chance to bid. If I get the system up and running, at some point soon you'll all be invited to register and play around to see how things work (I'll post a few test auctions that you can play with and bid on). Keep an eye out for that if you're interested!

Nothing new this week (silly real life, getting in the way of customizing). I have a number of designs in various stages of completion, though, so watch for a new release or two next week. ^_^

New this week: meet ( Reptilia, the second Shadow Shee. )
------
Reptilia will be uploaded into the Custom Persuasion gallery tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th) at 4:00 PM Eastern. Once she's in the gallery, she'll be available for private sale for $38. Please visit Custom Persuasion for more information on buying customs.
Also, please note that I'm going to stop using the friends feature on this journal. Up until now, I've always added back everyone who added this journal to their friends list. I did this mainly because I know keeping friends and friend-of lists equal is a preference for some people. ;) As my list has gotten longer, it's become a bit futile to keep up with the assorted comings and goings, so I'm going to clear out my f-list. I don't make friends-only posts, so it's not a terribly big deal -- I just didn't want anyone to think I had defriended them specifically.
And finally, please check out Kimono's Townhouse if you haven't already:
It's a new MLP-based webcomic created by a very good friend of mine, and definitely worth friending and following. :D
As always, thanks for reading!

Nothing new this week. For those who were interested in last week's releases, though, StarSpeckle is still available in the Gallery. ^_^

I fell a bit behind with paint jobs, so there'll be no release today. ^_^

I've got a new Shee this week -- ( meet Twitter. )
Twitter will be uploaded into the Custom Persuasion gallery tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4:00 PM Eastern. Once she's in the gallery, she'll be available for private sale for $30. Please visit Custom Persuasion for more information on buying customs.

Also, I am currently testing out custom@cloverflowers.com as a replacement addy for my current hotmail address. I'll be sending tonight's email update from the new address. For now, I'll still be checking both addresses equally (along with my aol addy -- it's always a good idea to CC anything to that address). Any permanent email changes will be reflected on the website.

New this week: ( Spring Chicken. )
Spring Chicken will be uploaded into the Custom Persuasion gallery tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4:00 PM Eastern. Once she's in the gallery, she'll be available for private sale for $34. Please visit Custom Persuasion for more information on buying customs.
Also, please note that I've been having a lot of issues with my hotmail email account lately, especially when sending mail to AOL accounts. I'm going to try to switch over to a cloverflowers.com-based account and phase out hotmail, probably this week. I'll update the Custom Persuasion website to reflect the change when it's done; in the meantime, I can still always be reached at my AOL addy, which is listed in several places on the CP site.
As always, thanks for reading!

As always, thanks for reading. And Happy Valentine's Day! Or, if you'd prefer, Happy Overly-Commercial Love-Obligation Day. ;D

Nothing new this week. As I just switched over to a new computer and digicam and don't yet have my graphics program of choice installed, I am without a reliable way to post pics at the moment. I'm hoping that'll change by next week. ^_^

Nothing new this week. I have several designs in the pipeline, though, so I should have at least one ready to go by next week. ^_^
In the meantime, if there are any Pullip fans reading this, they're invited to drop by my new Pullip-related LJ, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) brooklynbridge. Right now it's mainly photos and boutique updates, but if/when I give Pullip customization a try, the process will be chronicled there.
