Prices
Basic Face-ups
$20.oo for YoSD and Tiny face-up
$35.oo for MSD face-up
$45.oo for SD or larger face-up
$10.oo for First Re-Do (see "About Refunds and Re-Do"), additional at normal prices.
Fantasy Face-ups
These start at the price for a basic face-up, and increase based on complexity and design. Please PM for a quote. Include detailed description and references if possible.
$6.oo for face-up removal
$5.oo ea. for drilled piercings; includes optional simple wire hoop with seed bead; PM for available colors.
$3.oo for Glue-on Piercings, PM for available colors. Price includes up to ten piercings.
Eyelash installation - free**
**If you have eyelashes already installed in your doll that you wish to keep with the new face-up, or include a pair you wish to have installed, I will do it for free. I don't currently have eyelashes on hand, but I can order them for you, at-cost. This means you pay the exact amount that I paid, no more, no less, and I will install them for free.
$35.oo for Artist's Choice face-up, any size
For Artist's Choice, you give me a basic color pallet, a theme, and a few details about your doll, and then give me free reign to do as I please. I love doing these types of commissions, but by requesting Artist's Choice, you are granting me artistic license. I will not make any permanent modifications to your doll with this type of commission, unless you also order a modification (see below). If you absolutely hate the end result, then I offer one re-do at a discounted rate of $15.oo, which includes the face-up removal and re-paint. Further remakes are at the normal rates, whether you decide to continue with Artist's Choice, or opt for requesting a specific face-up at the price listed above for the appropriate size doll.
Body Blush
Full body blush and half blush include a mani/pedi in any desired color, and an optional small tattoo. No tattoos included in any other partial blush option. I prefer dolls to be strung for a body blush, but I will work on an unstrung doll, if you would like to save on shipping costs by using a smaller box.
$35.oo for YoSD or smaller full body blush
$65.oo for MSD full blody blush
$80.oo for SD or larger full body blush
$15.oo Blushing for hands or feet only, any size
$25.oo Blushing for hands and feet only, any size
$45.oo Half-body blush (full torso, arms, and hands) any size
$30.oo Fantasy part blush YoSD and MSD size
$50.oo SD and larger Fantasy Parts blush
$20.oo for blush removal
Tattoos
For complex tattoos, heavy blushing for fantasy parts or resin matching, please PM me with a description and/or references, to see if it's something within my capabilities, and to work out a price. I will not accept a commission until a price is agreed upon.
Other Services
Modifications
I will only take one modification at a time. The labor, time, and precautionary measures involved in modification require that it is the only thing I work on. If you are commissioning a modification from me, I will close my shop until your commission is complete, but I also will not begin working on your doll until any other face-ups are finished.
Eye Openings
$45.oo Existing Eye-wells
$55.oo No Existing Eye-wells
Joint Reconstruction
This is taking a single jointed/poor posing doll and grinding away/adding Apoxie to existing joints to make them double-jointed or to increase movement and pose-ability. Turnaround Time for a Joint Reconstruction is a minimum of three months. Please understand that additive mods are a necessity in this type of project. I will do my best to tint the Apoxie to match your doll, but an exact match is not guaranteed. Please PM me for examples, quotes and availability. Provide detailed descriptions whenever possible of the type of work you would like done.
Sueding and Stringing
Please send your doll in a large enough box to be sent back strung if you order a restringing or wiring!
$15.oo restringing if strings are provided
$30.oo restringing if strings are not provided (please allow time for restring kit to be shipped in)
$20.oo Wiring for limbs
$30.oo for Hot Glue sueding, any size, all joints.
$45.oo Wire, Sueded and restrung with existing/provided strings. Add $10 if new string kit needs to be ordered, and allow time for it to arrive.
Client pays shipping to and from. You choose your shipping method.
However your doll is shipped to me, that will be how it is shipped back, unless you tell me otherwise, or I feel you have sent inadequate packaging. IE: if you send me a whole doll unstrung for a body blush, I will ship it back unstrung (unless you send the strings and hooks, and pay for a larger box for the return trip). If you send your head to me with a face-up protector, I will send it back with it. If I feel your doll isn't padded enough for the return trip, I will add additional padding at no extra cost, with whatever I have on hand, be it tissue paper, newspaper, packing peanuts, bubble wrap or plastic bags, but the doll will be sent back in the same box. If you do not have a face-up protector, but would like one, it is an additional $3 but you may have to wait until I can have one shipped to me, if I am out of stock. Currently in stock for MSD and SD.
About Refunds and Re-Do
In short, I do not give refunds. I may make a VERY rare exception on a case-by-case basis, but the cost of a face-up pays for my supplies and my time. Neither of these things can be given back because you change your mind, or do not like the work. If you are horrifically displeased with a face-up I've done for you, I will try to find a way to fix it. I offer the discounted rate of $10.oo for the first re-do of a face-up, but additional repaints will be at the standard rates. Professional grade art supplies and sealants are not cheap. By contacting me for a commission, you are agreeing to these terms. You are acknowledging that you have looked at my gallery and have decided that you like my particular face-up style for your doll. I will NOT offer a refund if you decide to change your mind, nor if you decide you simply don't like the style of the face-up. In the case of the latter, I will offer to wipe it for free, if you so desire, or you can opt for the discount rate re-do.

*This is not an exhaustive list, but fairly complete. If there are materials I intend to use on your doll and they are not listed, I will PM you first for permission before continuing.
**I use Polycrylic spray only to seal heavy duty work, and only with permission of the owner. I have used this spray to seal work on several dolls, and it is more durable than other sealants, but still removable with conventional methods, such as W&N or rubbing alcohol. I have two dolls of my own that I have used this spray on, and two years later, there are no ill effects. There IS, however, a fine pebbling texture on the sprayed surfaces caused by heavier droplets in the spray, that does not usually show in photographs but is somewhat noticeable in person. I have yet to figure out a way to prevent this, and in granting permission to use the Polycrylic Spray, you are aware of this flaw, and do not hold me accountable for it.
