Alright DA, what if I said I was going to open up commissions for something I originally had decided against? You all know Charlotte, more or less. 4.5 foot long kraken who has been pretty popular anywhere she goes. I’ve had many people ask to buy her or if I’ll make any more. The answer was previously always no, but due to some recent computer issues I’ve changed my mind.

This is a lot of work and material, even if I do bring the sewing machine in for it, so any kraken commissions would be $200 before shipping costs. Shipping will vary depending on how close to WA state you live. Within the state it’s around $9 for 1-day priority, across the country it’s about $15 for standard 8 day shipping (or $50 for 2-day priority). The tentacles can be squished around but that’s still 2 feet of box minimum just for the head. Putting wires in them would make the squishing considerably more difficult, so keep that in mind. They don’t add much for posability save for the tips of the shorter tentacles.
Shipping outside of the US for these is probably nightmarish enough that nobody is even going to consider it, easily over $50 if I had to guess, maybe more. Imagine.
This is a pretty large amount so I would not be opposed to taking payments in installments of either 1/2 or 1/4 per payment. This would at least give me the money to cover material costs in the beginning. While the green/pink is the default color, I can do other fleece/dot minky combinations. I could even probably use smooth minky in place of fleece for the body which would be a lot softer, but that would bump the cost up another $30 at least since it’s around $16 a yard and I’d need to order it online.
Payment would be through Paypal only!
