November/December Update

Alright, I thought I would post an update especially regarding the December slots.
There will not be any December slots unfortunately since I'm so much behind with the workload.

If you were listed for October, and I did not receive your head(s) just yet, you've been moved to the November list.
I will take care of everyone in order of arrival.

The tan heads are taken care of whenever the humidity is under 40%. Which means, whenever the weather is favorable, they are first in line, since I don't have this kind of low humidity everyday. The tan skin tends to cloud much more than regular skin, this is why it requires super low humidity, and I don't want to risk it and restart from scratch a hundred times lol.

I just don't want anyone to be upset if say I finish a tan head first that was lower on the list, instead of a NS head that was first in line. I don't want to hurt anyone feelings, I'm just trying to make the best out of the weather given to me lol. ^^'

Keep in mind that I'm trying my best to cut down on the delays, but with an autumnal weather, and the fact that the sun is setting earlier than before, I can only do so much.
I used to worry a lot, and work on weekends or at any given opportunity, but I cannot put myself under so much stress all the time. I do feel bad for holding the heads for so long, but then again there isn't much more I can do.

I shall re-open my slots for January if  I catch up with all of the work by then.
Thank you very much for your patience! ♥

Reserve for November

Hello!

I'm opening my slots for November.
I will try to keep it at 10 slots for now. I want to make sure that I catch up with all of the current commissions first, instead of piling up the reservations. I always strive to get the commissions done on time, so that the waiting time doesn't become unbearable for all of my lovely customers lol. <3

So 10 slots for now, and if I see that I'm doing good towards mid October, I may re-open more slots for November.
Looking forward to bringing more dolls to life!  

To reserve, send me an email at eludys.workshop@gmail.com, or you can also PM me on DoA or Flickr.

Slots Status

Hello!

I updated the October Slots on the left column, and I am already full for October.
I will be opening the November slots at the end of the month. September 30th/October 1st.

I'm really hoping the weather is going to improve, but I guess going towards the winter I won't be able to take on as many heads as I would like lol. Good thing it's like always Summer in Texas. XD

Notice for tan heads: Commissions with tan heads may be a little delayed, as I'm waiting for the perfect humidity level to spray them. If the humidity is too high, I may work on another head in the meantime, and work on the tan head sporadically whenever the conditions are perfect. I just don't want to cloud the heads that's all. <3

September update

Hello!

We have unfortunately been having a bit of a chaotic weather for the past week. :(
I'm trying my best, and get as much work done when the humidity does godown, but it seems like it's thunder storming here and there everyday, so that complicated things a bit.

I'm running late on the September commission list, so I might have to cut short on the October slots. My apologies, I do really hope that on the non humid days, I can catch up and make up for this.

Thank you all for your patience! <3

Organization

Just a quick update on how I'm going to organize myself from now on.

I figured that I'm wasting way too much time driving to the post office several times a week.
I'm also wasting lots of hours adding gloss and eyelashes as soon as one head is finished, and then taking pictures and editing them.

I've decided that from now on, I will work Monday through Friday. All of the heads of the week finished by Friday evening, will receive gloss and eyelashes on Saturday morning.
I will then wait until they dry, and take the pictures on Saturday afternoon, edit the pictures and email them on Saturday evening.

I will then drive to the post office every Monday mornings.

This will avoid the commissions to pile up, delays and whatnot, and this is much more convenient to do it this way! :)

This means the payments will have to be completed between Saturday evening and Monday morning, if you want your head to be shipped on Monday, otherwise you're gonna have to wait another full week though. >.<
Anyway, I'm sure we are all going to get used to it soon enough. <3

Voila, have a nice weekend y'all. ^o^

June updates

Hey,

I'm not opening any slot this month because the reservation list was already full lol.
So if you want a slot, you have to reserve for July! ^^

I'm running a bit late on my May commissions though. x-x But I'm confident that I'm gonna be done soon. <3

Lately I've been practicing the brush, and I'm starting to really get the hang of it. I really want to achieve the same looking result as my current style, but with a more clean and professional finish.
That's about always striving to improve anyway, isn't it? ^o^
So when I feel confident enough, I'm gonna start introducing it as an option in my commission forms. I'm looking forward to it!

My LTF Chloe that I recently sold in a record amount of time, actually had brushed eyelashes. XD

Otherwise, do you want some dolly updates?

Well I have this story about this one head, I'm just not too sure about what you're gonna think of me lol.
So a little while ago I did this faceup on this one head... and I fell in love with it.
I know that's kinda narcissistic to fall in love with your own faceups? lol ;n; Anyway, I couldn't stop looking at her, and I told my husband and he convinced me to just contact the owner and let them know that if they ever decide to sell her, that I would love to be the first on the list. So I did that, and at first the owner was not interested in selling her just yet. But then a week ago, she contacted me back and said ok! So I bought the head, and she arrived today, and now I need to save up to buy her a body lol. ^^'
Happy day?

So yeah here is April. <3
Sorry for the crappy pic, I was in the middle of my commissions when she arrived this afternoon, so didn't really have time to take a better one. XD

Her name is April because she actually looks like a friend of mine who's name is April. Except that the real life April doesn't have elf ears LOL. XD


Other dolly update, I got myself a Lieselotte! She's so gorgeous. *o*
I was scared of the white skin, because I really don't like white skin dolls, but well Lieselotte doesn't have a NS counterpart, so not much luck there.
So I went for it anyway, with the help of my husband's loan, that I now need to payback by selling some of my girls and working hard on faceups. ;n;

Another quick pic, sorry... ;n;

She actually came with the dress and the little bunny scarf, these were so extra gifts! So lovely. <3

She still has her default faceup, and I'm actually quite enjoying it. I think she's gonna keep it for a while, because I wouldn't know if I want her to have one of mine, or if I prefer sending her over to some pro. XD
All of the pros that I like are full, so I guess that wouldn't work, and if I was the one doing it, well I'm full as well haha.
Plus I have like 5 headless girls of mine waiting in line so yeah...
Like how long has my Rheia been waiting for her faceup? LOL... seriously
But then I watch the commission heads piling up, and I feel bad for the clients eagerly waiting for their doll to come back, so I end up never taking care of my own. ^^'
Anyway enough of my problems!

Other dolly update, I received my Celine, and I don't know what to think. Well I mean first of all she's blank, so that's another head to add to my blank collection lol.
But that's not what I mean. I just don't know if it's the fact that she's blank for now or what, but I'm not really liking her for now. Let's hope everything is going to be fixed up with a faceup though.
In the meantime I gave her body to Leila, so that she's not a floating head for now. The other two bodies are hoarded by the Chloe twins. ^^

Quick pic of blank Celine~

Anyway, I have more stuff to talk about but I'm gonna keep some for another day because I'm too tired to think right now. XD

Hope you enjoyed my update stuff!

May Commissions Status and June Price Increase

Hey!

I'm still alive! You would think I would be dead by now buried under so many heads lol, but no I'm all good and enjoying my faceup time. XD

So regarding my May commissions, plenty of you already reserved a spot, and it's getting filled up pretty quickly.
I may be able to fit one or two more for May, but that's about it I'm afraid.

I'm going to have a price increase starting from June. So the few slots left for May are going to be the last ones with the current price.

The prices are going to increase as follow.

YOSD size and smaller: $45 (same as my current price)
MSD size: $55
SD13 size and above: $65

The eye mods remain the same price, as well as faceup removal, eyelashes, and resin matching.

Once the May slots are filled up, you may reserve a slot for June.

 Thank you very much for your support and for liking my work, this really fills me with joy whenever I get a compliment on a faceup I did. ♥
