COMMISSIONS A commission is basically when you pay someone to do something for you. In this case you would pay me for working for you. I love commissions because they bring fresh air into my home. It's always exciting to work with someone and create something the customer ever dreamed of.
WHAT SHIRICKI OFFERS I offer a variety of skills I am good at. I can't dance, so I will not offer dancing lessons. But I can do other things for you, such as ...
z Sewing Quite anything you like, hats, bags, and armwarmers as you wish and like them. But I can sew basically anything from plushies over tote bags and purses up to clothing. There's actually no limit. Just let me know what you want and I'll do it for you. You can also send me a drawing and I'll sew what you have drawn.
z Illustrations I love to illustrate anything you like, either traditionally (with paper, pencil and watercolors etc.) or digitally (by using photoshop for example). If you need an image for something, just let me know and I'd love to illustrate it for you.
z Crafting I love to do accessories and if there's something you were always wishing to buy but could not afford or find, you are more than welcome to ask me to craft it for you. I craft anything, charms, bracelets, keychains, broches as well as hair accessories.
z Web Design As you see, I can create websites. ^^ I can create a website layout for you and also code it from top to bottom. I am able to use html, php, cgi and also mysql. Also if you want a tiny webshop of your own and do not know how to setup one, I would like to help you out.
HOW DO COMMISSIONS WORK 1. You tell me what you want me to do. Be as precisely as possible. The more details you give to me, the better. You can describe or draw whatever you have in mind. The better you explain to me what you expect, the better the result.
2. I will let you know how much it will cost.
3. I'll create an invoice especially for you.
4. After the payment has been made, I create what you have ordered.
5. Please give me some time to create your order.
6. As soon as your order is completed, I will send it out to you.
PRCING Pricing varies depending on what you want and how much time it costs me do create it and what kind of materials I have to use. You just tell me what you want and will tell you what it will cost. I am very fair in pricing, so do not worry. :)
VIRTUAL GOODS & REAL GOODS As you may notice you can commission me to do virtual and real products. Virtual goods are web design and web scripting, as well as digital art. Real goods are illustrations (that are printed) and sewing clothes or accessories. Virtual goods are send electronically to you or can be downloaded. Real goods will be shipped to you via registered airmail.
VIEW PAST COMMISSIONS Here are a few examples of commissions I have done for happy customers.
Alice in Wonderland Blanket This is my last big project. It's a blanket with Alice design. I sewed it all myself from top to bottom and it may not look like it, but it was a challenge, really. =^__^= It measures 50x50cm. It's made of soft fabric and filled with 100% cotton.
Cheshire Cat Box This is another commission for myself. I really wanted to have a wooded box with a painted Cheshire Cat. But since there is none available with this image, I had to create it myself. It's pink and covered with a lot of ornaments as well.
Lion Pillow made from a given drawing I was asked to sew a lion that someone else had drawn before. So I was given a pencil drawing and created a sewing pattern and finally sewed the finished felt motive onto a 35x35cm black pillow, made by myself as well.
Star Armwarmer made of Nicky This are 25cm long black cozy armwarmers made of soft nicky fabric. They feature a hole for the thumb and some stars right above these holes. I also addded wristbands to both ends on demand :)
Mad Cat Plushie I was asked to create a plushie looking like my Mad Cat character. The fabric I used is soft and very cozy nicky, the mouth eyes, its belly, ears and the tail are made of soft felt. More information.
Westie Illustration This time I was asked to design a sweet westie, the dog of the customer. I was asked to design the dog with a few different backgrounds. You can see the illustration online here.
Black & Purple Mad Hat I was asked to sew a completely different Mad Cat Hat which should be black and purple in stripes, the inside of the ears should have been pink. Additionally she wished some bells being attached to the ears. ^^
Ant Illustration An university team needed an ant, so I designed one in the style of my tiny characters and sent it out as small buttons including the names of the team members. :)
Dragonfly Shoulder Bag This time Naddy asked for a dragonfly shoulder bag. I designed and created a dragonfly application and added it to black baby cord outside. For the inside she wished for the yellow heart shaped fabric that I love as well.
Pink Bunny Shoulder Bag When I created my first shoulder bags I was asked to create a plain black baby cord shoulder bag with my pink bunny design as application. Chita also wished for a lovely pink fabric for the inside with a very beautiful pattern.
Mad Cat Shoulder Bag Another commission for myself, but it counts, no? I wanted a Mad Cat Bag, so I created one for myself with green embroided baby cord and beautiful pink ornamental fabric inside. I love it very much, it helps me lots in daily life.
Hippo Armwarmer When chita bought my Hippo Hat, she asked for armwarmers that would suit the hat perfectly. She chose the colors herself of which I made black and purple stripied extra large and cozy armwarmers for her.
Dragonfly Keychains I was asked to create tiny dragonfly keychains in blue, so I made up my mind and made up a dragonfly design, not too frisky rather elegant and colored them shiny blue.
Princess Coat Okay, I confess, this was my own request. I had this boring black coat, so I added a lot of beautiful stuff to the coat and transferred it into a princess coat that you can see me wearing in winter. Feel free to greet me, if you see me :)
Black Fox Hat This hat was made for someone who already had bought an original Fox Hat from me. This time he wished for a black Fox Hat with extra large ears and red eartips, so I created one for him.
Fox Armwarmer This customer needed armwarmers fitting my Fox Hat design because she was aboutto move to Hokkaido and needed something to warm her arms in cold days, so I created fox strpied armwarmers in fox colors.
Extra Large Bunny Armwarmer I was asked to create extra large and long Armwarmers for someone who likes to read outdoors or in bed with windows open. So I created a sewing pattern and created armwarmers in dark red with pink bunny as requested.
