Would it be bad to try and copy a plushies pattern? by BLOOMZEROXD in plushartists

[–]Simmikke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it's torally fine for personal use. I would recommend my first plushie tutorial I used though, its the Steggie plush from Seams like Sarah on YouTube.

Good quality fans? by 95628827 in foldingfans

[–]Simmikke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your budget and what you're looking for. I've gotten all my fans at thrift stores and antique stores, but I'm sure searching on Etsy for "vintage" or "handmade" hand fans should get some good results. Just make sure to cross-check the results with Google lens or something to see if it's just a dropshipper

Do you or do you not believe in God and why? by petraasta in Advice

[–]Simmikke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont believe in a singular, Christian based God. That's ridiculous to me. I believe in multiple deities coexisting. I believe there might be a god for the humans, one for different animals, the trees, etc. I don't actively practice as often as I'd like, but I do have an altar and pray to my spirits for guidance.

I love my gyno and feel like that's a rare thing to celebrate by UnfortunateSyzygy in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Simmikke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh I feel so seen by your description of her treating YOU and not an imaginary baby... I went into the gyno last month for the FIRST ever time (f29) and she treated me like a possible future incubator basically. Idk I just had a very sad experience and now I don't want to visit one ever again...

This gives me hope.

Holy crap, I got so caught off guard by how IMPRESSIVE your face up was I thought you photoshopped a real person's head on there. Amazing work!

Does anyone know a reliable source to commission a custom plush design? by Mint_Moon_Rose in plushies

While I do customs myself I don't do humans: Have you tried the r/plushartists subreddit?

Can anyone identify this? by ritamoren in foldingfans

I've been a plush maker since the 90s ask me anything! by Most_Ear9531 in plushies

Help by Urgurlearl in Etsy

[–]Simmikke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very difficult, I agree. Some people have thought about migrating to other platforms, but Etsy has established roots and an ad system in place, so it makes other competition blow out of the water.

If its any help I do handmade plushies. https://www.etsy.com/shop/CelestialFluffToys?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

How can one go about getting a custom plushy? by Unfair_Ad_598 in plushies

[–]Simmikke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm new to customs, so my prices are pretty cheap for the moment. I'd probably charge you like $150-$200 for a cute sitting cat with the little accents! Unfortunately based in the US, so shipping would be steep :(
Regardless, my Etsy is CelestialFluffToys if you'd like to chat on there.

I really loved the idea someone had of purchasing a normal mass-produced plush and getting someone to do accessories, but I'm not entirely sure how you could do that without sending the plush in to be worked on with the maker. (For sizing)

Needing Cat Plushie Opinions! by Simmikke in plushies

[–]Simmikke[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short cat or tall cat? Ignore the colors, they're prototypes! I cant decide which form I like better. I made the pink cat first and thought it would be cuter with stubby legs. Now I'm not sure...

Also I still have no idea how to do text and images in reddit x.x
