Sakutama Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 where will the name be put? not too much space on the plushy IMO The tummy or side maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Jones Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 If you're putting names on them the i'd better get 6. 4 the same as yours and 2 black and white 2 same as yours with "BOLT" 2 same as yours with "MIA" 2 black and white with "MEMPHIS" Don't rush but if you can get them done i can pay with Paypal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranormal Wolf Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 ahhhh totally kawaii!! XD Hmmm inspires me to make some of my dogs but I don't think it would turn out as good as yours did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy one saves making one, and thats good in my eyes as it would end up looking like a monster if i tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katers91 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I want one of Ryder, just his coat is changing so much I have no idea what colour he'll be yet Pllllease post when you have an idea of costs ect. Would love to get my Mum one of our old husky for her birthday then she can pop him on her bag so he's always with her. Oh, and I think a Japanese name on the back is a great idea!

Sakutama Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Thanks so much everyone! Wow...I am so overwhelmed by how much everyone likes it...and want their own! Well, as long as you like this design, I don't see why I couldn't make some like it and sell them. I did change the eyes at least from my avatar (which isn't my design, it's from a sticker in Japan), and well, often kawaii designs look all the same in Japan anyway. I just hate stealing other peoples ideas, I try to be original. But besides, if I change it to look like your dogs eye colors and coat patterns, I think that is different enough from the original inspiration. Alright!! So, it'll probably be a slow process (I apologize!) but i'll contact everyone one at a time in the order they replied to my thread and also crack open my old Etsy account that I never used and try to get something set up. This is all new for me so I hope you guys can be patient. I'll post this on the other thread "your Huskies name in Japanese" as well, but I think I decided i'll do name translations into Japanese for free because I don't have any formal qualifications to do it. Just my personal study of Japanese and my native speaker husband. BUT...i'll be happy to put the translation I made onto a plushy or some other artistic thing you want. I think technically the first person to reply was Olivia, but you said you don't have PayPal? Well let me know if you want one of Diamond, maybe we can figure something out. Next person after that would be...Kate? Right? I would be happy to make one for your mom of your old Husky if you have pictures. And whenever Ryder settles into his final coat, you can always let me know. Exited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakutama Posted April 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Pllllease post when you have an idea of costs ect. Ah hrm...well they aren't expensive to make, it's really just felt, glue, plushy filling, thread and a lot of perfectionism from me. I might buy some color matched thread so they look better (just used black thread on mine), and i'll try to match colors to the husky colors as best I can for what's available in felt colors, but otherwise...maybe i'll invest in a little glue gun? It's all really inexpensive bits and pieces so... What do you think is a reasonable price? Just be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA DA KA Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Well...it's not my best work, and I did copy off the internet for inspiration. But here's my first Husky Plushy I made as an accessory for my purse so I can show off my Husky pride! Really like the way you made this, esp. the eyes. I would love a few just to give to people they would adore it. Husky Lovers in Vermont:doglick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think they looked worth that much. What does everyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA DA KA Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Really?? :eek: Wow! I didn't think they looked worth that much. What does everyone else think? It is a form of art. They are hand made and you always pay more for hand made, also because they are not mass produced. We find it to be adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katers91 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I was going to say about £5 to £8. Like Sadaka said, people are willing to pay more for handmade and then a bit more for making it unique to each customer.

Sakutama Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I guess I just didn't want to come across as having an ego for asking for more then you guys think they are worth. Alright, so maybe...$6 for a Husky plushy, and maybe...$8 for one with a name on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exited! glad to hear that I'm on top of the list heehee but unfortunately it will be very troublesome for someone that doesn't even have a bank account to pay, so I guess I'll pass *cries* so that means you can start working on Kate's order don't worry tho my birthday is coming up I can beg my parents to get me a proper bank account so that I can use PayPal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more then happy to make you a plushy! Would love to get my Mum one of our old husky for her birthday Do you have a picture or two? I'll go ahead and get started on a plushy for you. I already have white, black, gray and light blue felt so I need to know if I need to find another color. They don't have much of a variety of felt colors, but i'll certainly do my best to match.

I don't, sadly we had him in the days before digital cameras and all his photos are in albums/boxes at my parents. But he was black and white, with brown eyes his name was Boomer, if that can be translated! If you put a message on my profile doodah when he's done I'll send you my email for PayPal excited now! oh, and postage is to the UK so you can calculate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkyries Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 When you say they don't have much of a variety of felt colors, do you mean in the shops there ??? if so we can get almost any colour here so could send you some xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
