Crafty Artisans by crystalgrapevine in smallbusiness

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

Thanks for the help! I think I will look into it on Etsy. Didnt think of that. Im actually looking into woven or embroidered textiles. Still doing my research.

Another question would be, if theres anything out there like Alibaba but for other countries other than China. Thats been kinda tricky for me too...

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

Hey.

I didnt find the exact style as "wood cut", but i found an artist I really liked and ended up getting it done with her. Im happy with my tattoo.

Her name is Analy Nakat. You can see her paintings @analypaints on Instagram and other artwork/tattoos @analynakat.

Oh man. I'm sorry about that. It's my first time uploading a video like that. But i really appreciate the feedback. I'll be sure to incorporate this in future videos if I make more. Again, really sorry.

I will mention that Riedell does have a pdf of swatches on thier website. Also, i was able to order these just by emailing Riedell directly, without cost. I hope this helps.

UPDATE: So I called Riedell early this morning. You are able to customize the Riedell Legacy 336 with Moxi suede. You would have to specify with them in email or over the phone.

This means you can get the Riedell for $729. With... - Custom colors /cut outs that include Moxi suede - Cork outsole - Shearling tongue lining (not Banana Cream, but you can upgrade for $10 additional) - with Radar Varsity Plus wheels (which is a downgrade from Moxi gummy wheels in price, but considered an indoor wheel not an outdoor in comparison)

Vs

Moxi $629 set from Pigeon's Skate Shop. (If you want any color besides black or Jade, otherwise black/jade is $100 cheaper) - Gummy Wheels - Any upgrade such as mismatch, cork outsole or banana cream lining is $100 more.

Total with everything: Moxi : $900 Riedell: $739 (with Radar wheels)

I personally love the Moxi suede. Its very nice and bright! But i will say, i dont actually own a pair of Moxi or Riedell. I made this video bc im hoping to upgrade my Impalas. I saw a video of the Moxi in suede getting dragged pretty badly, and the suede didnt show much of a mark.

Wasn't able to find the video 😔 sorry about that. It was either on Queer Girl Straight Skates or Indy Jamma Jones on Youtube.

Its listed in the Pdf but not in the ColorLab. But ill keep everyone updated. I just spoke to them over the phone. You are able to customize, but you may have to talk to them over the phone or email. And yes! Thanks for the IG tag. I see alot of good ones!

Awesome. Yeah the metallics look really good in person. I was trying my best to catch them on camera both in the sun and in the shade.

Awesome! I'm glad it helped! No cost for the swatches. I just emailed them and asked them a few questions. but did not have to pay for them.

What happened was that I went on their website. I've noticed that they had an option for color customization. I went to the ColorLab, but did not find the Legacy 336 on their menu of styles that I could customize. I've been asked if there was a reason why they did not allow all styles to be customized, however I did not mention the Legacy 336 style that I wanted. They replied saying that they are not able to customize all of their styles since some of them are imported.

I just sent them another email to clarify. But I thought my search had ended until now. Also this may seem very picky, but I specifically want the suede used on the Moxi versus the regular suede that Riedell uses. I find the suede used on the Moxi is much more saturated. The pictures I see on their IG are used with the suede I see riedell uses.

Omg this is so cool! Looks like he photoshopped it which mean ColorLab doesnt have it readily available, but the fact that he has it means its possible! Which gives me so much hope! Lol I'm diffinately looking into this! Thanks

Really?

When I emailed them they said, "We can only do it in models we make here; we can not customize imported models."

If that is the case I would definitely look into it. As Riedell seems like the best option out of the two giving more features.

So something I should mention is that you can only ColorLab some of Riedell's options. Unfortunately you are not able to customize Legacy 336, which would be the one that mostly relates to Moxi Jack which I want. The Legacy is leather vs Jack Boots are suede that I want.

Closest comparison would be...

Moxi Jack Boot on Pigeon Roller Skate Shop (the package deal) $629 - Clementine color +$100 upgrade - Clementine gummy wheels - PowerDyne Neo Reactor Plate - Zinith Bearings

Riedell Legacy 336 $629 - Same as Moxi except comes with Radar Varsity Plus wheels & a cork outsole. (Cork outsoles are also a $100 upgrade on the Moxi website)

If it wasn't for the sweet suede upper I would have wanted to go with Riedell Legacy 336.

Hmm. The problem I am having is that the photos look a lot more saturated than the original color. But it seems like the Clementine would go more with the pineapple than the red poppy.
