Since the advent of the
Burrow Bazaar, we've decided to add an additional element of
Crafty Commissions.
Ever find yourself wishing you had a scarf, hat, mittens of a certain colour, type or pattern and just can't do it yourself? Can't sew but need something special? Want to organize your photos for a special occasion but have no clue where to start? That's where the Immy Crafters come in!
The Basic Idea:
If you'd like to commission an item, post here with a rough, or exact - if you have a pattern - description of what you're looking for, then sit back and wait for a volunteer. Be sure to include the item, color, type of yarn/material, type of pattern and price range you're looking for. Once a volunteer contacts you, you can discuss the details with them via e-mail or PM. When everything's been decided, the volunteer should contact a mod and let them know the details, including email addresses for both parties, and then post in the thread to let everyone know the commission has been taken.
* Since this is the sort of transaction which calls for all parties to be extremely reliable, it's only open to well known members, both commissioner and craft volunteer-wise. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me to ask.
Immy Donations: Please note that the purpose of this thread is to help make money to keep our community up and running. We can't force anyone to donate, but we would like to request that commissioners voluntarily donate $10 for smaller items and $15 for larger items. The cost of the material for each item can either be donated to Immy, or reimbursed to the craft volunteer, to be stipulated by the volunteer before the project is begun. For example, if the item is a small to mediums sized scarf for which the material cost $15, Immy should receive a min. donation of $10. The $15 material cost would then either be paid to the volunteer, or the volunteer could choose to have it donated to Immy as well, making a total donation of $25 to Immy.
*We ask that all volunteers provide the commissioners with exact cost before completing any agreements; shipping cost should also be taken into consideration. All agreements must be Mod approved before the project is begun so that we can ensure fairness to all parties. Once the item is completed, the volunteer should post to thread (with pics if you like so we can all ogle and drool!). Mag will then invoice the commissioner for the agreed cost via the Immy Donations system.
Any questions? Contact either me or Canute and we will be more than happy to help!
Please help us to keep this thread orderly and sane, please put any comments, feedback or discussions about the items in the
Q&A Thread. Thanks!
