Commissions

I am currently accepting commissions on a first come, first served basis! Email me for requests!

I am happy to do commissions based on ideas that you provide, celebrities, and photos. If I don't think that my ability will allow me to create a doll you request that both you and I will be satisfied with (i.e. celebrities, characters, or loved ones), I will be honest and tell you. I will communicate with you on specifics that you would like to see in a doll (hair color, eye color, outfit and jewelry styles), but will retain artistic control. You are commissioning me to create a doll based on examples of my work that you have seen here. Therefore, you must trust that I will create something of similar quality. I must be allowed to express my own vision in the doll to feel comfortable in creating it.

Before I begin working on your doll, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required. The full payment is due within 10 days of the completion of the doll, unless other arrangements have been made. Color photos of the finished doll will always be provided upon completion. Some suggestions and changes can be made to meet expectations, but remember, I must be allowed artistic control.

To ensure that all dolls are genuinely "one-of-a-kind," I will not duplicate exactly any doll that I have already completed. Arrangements can be made to do the same doll using another model doll, or making changes to the outfit, makeup, etc. Please do not ask me to duplicate another artist's work.

Every doll will receive a complete facial repaint using Liquitex and Golden acrylic paints and sealers. Depending on your requests, dolls will then receive rerooting, highlights, light resculpting, jewelry, outfits, shoes, and accessories. All 11.5" dolls come with a display stand and a keepsake box. All 16" dolls come with their original boxes and shippers (unless noted). All dolls are accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.

Prices will vary according to the doll used and the types of materials, trims, fabrics, etc. Please email me for a price quote.

Payment Methods:

I accept all major credit cards and electronic checks through Paypal. When paying by Paypal, you MUST have a confirmed address (this is NOT optional). If you pay with an unconfirmed address, I will refund the money, and will require another form of payment. This is NOT negotiable. I also accept money orders and cashier checks. I'm sorry, but personal checks are not accepted.

Shipping Info:

I prefer to send all packages priority mail via the U.S. Postal Service. All packages will be sent with insurance and delivery confirmation. Dolls are shipped either in clear, window display boxes, their original shippers, or wrapped in tissue paper or bubble wrap. Dolls can be shipped via other methods at the buyer's request. Below is a breakdown of shipping prices for priority mail in the United States:

4.5" dolls: ....................$5.00
11.5" dolls: .................. $10.00
16" dolls: .....................$15.00

InternationalShipping...........$20.00 and up

Layaway:

I happily accept layaway. I require one-half of the total amount of the doll once the doll has been completed, and the other half within 30 days. Layaway plans longer than two months can be discussed on a per person basis. All payments made toward layaway are non-refundable.

Return policy:

I invest a lot of time and hard work in the dolls that I create and, therefore, want each person who purchases one of my dolls to be satisfied. All efforts will be made to ensure that every doll is created with care and quality, and accurate pictures will always be provided to ensure an honest representation of the doll being offered. In the event that a problem arises, I am happy to resolve any issues by correcting or repairing a doll when needed. However, all sales are final and no returns will be given.
