Hiatus Return!

1 min read

Hellooooo everyone!

It has been a long while. Around 4 years? So much went down in those 4 years. Covid and hurricanes and societal collapses... even so lots more happened in my personal life. (Ongoing) Sicknesses, deaths in the family, helping multiple friends through major life changes and legal issues. My entire life flipped upside down and all around. My time is still not quite all my own to control, and my health is still variable, but things are more stable than they've been and I really miss making art.


SO! I am dipping my toes back into the waters of art. I will be doing things a little differently for now. I will be concentrating moreso on premades and filling my Etsy shop. But I do plan to take limited customs here and there, perhaps within certain pattern restrictions.


Buuuut yeah! If you have any questions or concerns or what have you, feel free to comment or send me a note! The best way to reach me reliably would be through email: whittykittyplush@gmail.com

Hey All ~

Just dropping a quick update - I'm still in the midst of my hiatus from commissions while I design and create some of my personal plush ideas, as well as design some cute simple stuff for my Etsy shop. I'll still be submitting finished plushies here to dA as well as FA, Facebook and Insta,  but you can see my work in progress photos and updates on my Twitter, Tumblr, or Personal Blog. I'm a bit more active on Tumblr these days as I try out lots of new patterns <3 Trying to be more social networky ^^; Anyway, all the links to my other social network pages can be found in my Contact Me Journal

Hello Everyone!

First and foremost, a big thank you to all of you for being so patient with me :) I know I've been pretty much MIA for 2 years, but things are finally starting to turn around. First good bit of news:

Etsy Shop News


I have added 13 new plushie patterns to my
Etsy Shop  ! That now makes a total of 25 patterns of varying shapes, sizes, and difficulties available for your use! I have also updated the popular "Floppy Anthro"  body pattern to now include a head and tail! I know many people have been eagerly awaiting this update. If you purchased the body pattern before and would like this new pattern which includes the head and tail, message me with your receipt number from your previous purchase and I will be happy to send you the new pattern for free :)


Markers!!


I am selling the following markers for a friend of mine. They are discounted for the fact that she has had them for a couple of years, but they are like new and unused. I personally tested and inspected each one. There are a couple (as noted below) that have dried out, but you can purchase refill ink to drop into the nibs and still have a nice marker to use. If there is a number in parentheses next to a name, it means I have more than one of that exact color.
I will ship anywhere in the world, but shipping charges are additional and will be will depend on your location and how many markers you buy.
Paypal only, please. I will send you a paypal invoice when you are finished deciding. You can use a credit or debit card to pay this invoice, even if you don't have a Paypal account! If you do have an account, you can use your paypal balance too, of course.

I have finally....finally caught up on all my orders!!  Everything is finished and shipped out.

But.

All those backorders and unexpected life issues have really burnt me out. I've been battling some more serious depression swings as of late, and I think it would be in my best interest to take a hiatus from commissions for a bit. I plan to take at least the rest of this year off so that I can rest, work on some of my own projects, and restructure my Etsy shop and prices and social media. My online presence is kind of a mess right now. Very much a reflection of my inner self. So, let me make this into a pretty list:

  • Commission Status:   CLOSED. On hiatus for the remainder of 2017.
  • Price Quotes: CLOSED. I need to restructure and make a new guide.
  • Etsy Shop: Always OPEN. However, I am going to be adding new patterns to the shop, and making the current pattern listings prettier/more concise. I will also be adding premade plushies as they become available :)


And I apologize for my slowness or lack of response to comments/notes/emails. I have been concentrating on getting my backorders fulfilled, and just trying to avoid mental and emotional breakdowns. Corresponding with anyone lately, even friends and family, has become stressful, so lots of communication attempts have gone unanswered. I just need some reorganization and soul searching time. Hopefully some pretty art will come out of it too <3

Thank you guys for being patient with me. I will keep you all updated as things come together.

June Update

May kinda got hectic. Cars breaking down, AC breaking down, vet visits for the kitties. Anyway, back to the monthly updates!

I am finished with everything except just ONE commission. One final order before I am all caught up. It is another rather large plush, so I expect it to take me a good 3 to 4 weeks to complete. I've decided I'd like to finish this one before I take on anything new, so I can have a nice fresh beginning with no backlogs to worry about.

I've remained pretty quiet and haven't really been giving out much info on commissions or pricing yet, just because I haven't decided yet on how I will be taking orders or what things will be priced at. I'll give this more thought once I'm done with this last order, and I'll be branching out to more social networks as well.

Thank you to all my watchers and followers for being patient with me while I get things set straight <3 I'll be back soon enough to take on new orders!
