Small custom art pieces (bookmarks all full - magnets still available)

[Leonakitty]

H'llo.

As I'm Brokey McBrokerton lately, I decided to offer up a few custom art slots.
It's first come, first served and I'll add you to my little List o' Doom as you post/PM.
Keep in mind, posts will probably be added before PM'ed requests, so it's probably better to at least note you've
PMed me here.

I'm opening up spots for 5 bookmarks at $15 each.
You can choose between the usual pencil/marker on brown paper with or sans tassel - laminated or
mostly watercolor/mixed media with or sans tassel - laminated

Please limit the number of rats on your request.
Two rats is pushing it for this size.  If you do two, they will be headshots.

Examples of the pencil/market bookmarks are here:

An example of my watercolor work is here:

The format and poses would be similar to the bookmarks above, the coloring method would resemble this piece.

I also am offering small headshot digital images.
You'll get the digital piece at full size (printable at 4X6) PLUS a small icon that's goosemoose sized.
Flat color background and cell-shaded.

I'm also offering magnets.
These guys are hand-drawn images that are affixed to curved glass pieces.  The curved glass has a slight magnifying effect. The magnets are about the size of a half dollar.  Head shots of single rats only.... simplified for clarity and solid colored background.  Marker and ink.

These guys are $5 each and I'll open up for as many of them as folks want.
I reserve the right to close the magnet offerings if I get too many requests and get swamped!
I can post a pic later but keep in mind the glass affects the image.  Folks here have received them as gifts and
I've had nothing but happy responses.

1. NYDaisy (4 ct.) (done)
2. ~*ChaoticSerenity*~ (3 ct.)(done)
3. G-wolf (3 ct.) (done)
4. Anita ( 3 ct.)
5. Wickedrodent (5 ct.)(done)
6. Becki (7 ct. plus 2 from previous order $)
7. Phyllis (3 ct)

Please note that I will work as fast as possible but do not promise exact turnaround time.

I will not accept money until your piece is finished.

I take Paypal (no credit), money orders, personal checks or well-concealed cash.

Add $1 for packaging - multiple items in an order need only add the single $1 fee.
The fee is per package, not per item.

PM with questions.
Thanks!

Well, I'm Brokey McBrokerton also - but let me say, the bookmarks and magnets are E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T.  The photos, phst, they don't come close to doing justice to the lovely pieces.

The first book mark - that's mine, and that's my sweet heart rat Reggie - some how, it looks EXACTLY like the little guy and nope, no picture seen.  The 2nd one is my sister's brat rat, PITA, which is why I wanted a chewed corner   They are our exact rats, it's wonderful!

[Smillee]

I want 2 bookmarks! Put me on the list!!!

[Leonakitty]

Heh,
Done!

Go ahead and PM me who you'd like drawn (send a photo or two if it's a specific rattie, please) and which variety of media.
Thanks!

(and thanks Scout, I appreciate the good feedback! Yay.)

[Pumpkinseed]

I SHOULDNT do this. but I cant pass it up cus I wanted one before

would i possibly be able to get one? I can send you which girls it is later lol
I'm  just gonna go one right now lol

[Leonakitty]

Pumpkinseed, I added ya. 
Go ahead and send photo(s)/details to my PM when you can.
Make sure you tell me if you want watercolor or the pencil/marker style, too.

Melissa

[NYDaisy]

Awe!  The 2nd example is of my boy Jon and is is beautiful!  It is hanging right over my FN!  Melissa's work is wonderful!

I would like to order 4 magnets if I could please!

Amanda

[Leonakitty]

Rock on!
Thanks NY Daisy.  I got your PM, btw, and am so happy you like your Jon.
He turned out so cute and I'm happy to be able to use him as an example.

I think I sent you some teeny tiny magnets as freebies with your piece.
The other magnets are that same style but MUCH bigger.

Go ahead and PM what sort of rat you'd like on each magnet.
Just coat color, ear set, and any facial markings.
If you're doing anything really specific, please include a photo.

Thanks!

[wickedrodent]

I would like to order a bookmark, please. I'll probably be ordering a couple of magnets and an icon as soon as I get more money into my paypal. 

[Leonakitty]

Awesome, that fills my bookmark slots for now.

Go ahead and PM with what media/tassel or no/and who you'd like drawn with photos is possible.
Thanks!
Melissa

[wickedrodent]

I have a question...

Could you possibly do a banner? I would love a banner about the size of the one in my signature with all 4 of my rattie boys on it.

Oh, and add an icon to my order too, if one is still avaliable. 

[G~Wolf]

I'd love 3 magnets! Would that be possible? Will pm the colors.

[Leonakitty]

wicked, did you want the banner with four digital rattie heads?
I'd price that same as a digital portrait - $15.  Sound good?

And I'll add an icon, too.
PM info!

G-wolf,
got your PM and you've been added.

I hope to get through some of the work tonight.
I'll PM folks with scans/photos as soon as I can!
Thanks for all the interest!

Melissa

[Leonakitty]

Due to lack for demand for digital (and speedy turnaround time on the first three bookmarks) I've moved the digital spots up to become bookmark slots.

The finished bookmarks are these guys:




And some magnet samples:



Thanks for all the interest so far.
Melissa

[anita1216]

I really want some magnets..like three if at all possible

[wickedrodent]

If its alright, I would love to add 5 magnets to my order before you ship out my bookmark.. Same 5 boys that are going to be in the banner.

[Leonakitty]

Anita and wicked, you're both added to the list!
I'm planning on working on magnet tonight, actually, so I hope to have images for your approval soonish!

Anita, PM me who you'd like done. You can just be vague and say things like "dumbo rex black standard" or you can include a pic. The images are small, so keep in mind my detail is slightly limited.

Thanks!
Melissa

[G~Wolf]

Yay! Add a bookmark to my order, please! 

[beckiheywood]

Would you be able to send bookmarks outside the US? I wanted one (or more!) of your bookmarks last time but was too slow off the mark, I'm in the UK though  Would I be able to buy a couple and pay extra shipping costs to have them sent over?

[Leonakitty]

becki, I'd be fine sending to you!
I appreciate that you'll help with shipping as I've sent stuff to Canada and it was a twee bit more than expected.  Not awful, but enough. These are nice and light so shipping shouldn't be a bear.

Did you want just one or more?
Let me know and PM the details, please.
Thanks!

[beckiheywood]

Hmm.. Curiously enough I don't appear to be able to PM  My email is becki_angel@hotmail.co.uk if you wouldn't mind going that route? Is there a limit on them? I'd ideally like 4 (I don't have any rats now but I used to have 4 girls and I'd like one of each of them to remember them by), but if that's just being shameless then perhaps 2 with 2 headshots on each? Could I also get each to have their name(s) on? I'll happily pay extra, I'd just like something a little special to keep with my pictures of them ^_^ Many thanks in advance!

[Leonakitty]

I made an extra spot and set you up with four.


My email is leonakitty @ wildmail . com (just remove the spaces!)
Photos would be awesome to make sure they look like your girls.
Personality info would help, too.

Thanks.

 :BlueDumboSmileTongue:Oh boy oh boy I just placed an order for 3 magnets & some book markers! these are so darned cute, Melissa

[~*ChaoticSerenity*~]

[Leonakitty]

Phyllis, I added your magnets to my queue, couple folks in front of you but I hope to work on the whole lot I've got going tonight - anita's first. I also PM'ed you back.

[Leonakitty]

YAY!
Glad to hear it, ladies.

And wicked, your banner seems to fit so nicely.
Huzzah.

Anita, you make me lol.
Sadly, I'm terribly sleep deprived and failed at trying to take a 15 min. nap last night.
A few hours later I woke up... only to go right back to bed.

I swear I'll have images to you TONIGHT.
Cross my heart.

[phyllis]

I want 3 magnets can you mail me at kansasratlady65@hotmail.com Please I want some really bad I will wait my turn & prepay to get some! Your work is so cute!!

[Leonakitty]

Hi Phyllis,
I got your PM with the photos and will definitely do the magnets for you.
I've got one group in front of you for becki, and then you're up!

No worries about prepay.
I'm sorry I've been slow on this last bunch, guys.
With Sully so sick and at the vet all last week I didn't do much but work, visit him, and sleep.
This weeks been bad, too, with dealing with his death and some extra volunteer work (doing some design work on a tight deadline for a local AR group and came out of retirement fostering cats... and this foster is a doozey!).

I didn't forget you guys, becki and phyllis,
you're on my 'to do' list! I'll PM you both with pics when they are done.

Melissa
