Hello Blossoms,
I didn’t think I would ever have to write such a thing like this as the majority of my interactions with my clients have been lovely and I truly appreciate each and every one of you for helping me pursue my passion of art and being a part of my little community.
But, unfortunately a few bad eggs have spurred me to write this little reminder.
When approaching me for a commission please remain respectful in your interactions with me, I do not appreciate being told my pricing is too much, or that I should “get a real job” if cost of living is causing my prices to be renewed each year (something I do every year with my yearly price review and cost of living review, a good practice to have).
Please do not ask personal questions regarding my life if we are not on a friends level, I am a very private person about most things and I do not feel comfortable about people prying around for information about things unrelated to commissions - this in general will result in a firm boundary being put in place.
The things I do share with my community about my life are things that may directly impact my turnaround times, anything outside of this information I do not share. Due to ongoing burnout I do not have the energy to deal with things that make me feel uncomfortable, adding to my already high stress levels. If I feel that lines have been crossed, I will alert you to the fact I am uncomfortable and will finish with the conversation, however if these boundaries are pushed or ignored it will result in a warning and likely a block.
Again I would like to thank those of you who have been nothing but polite and supportive of me and my community,

I hope to be a good customer as you go on.
I hate that you needed to post this reminder basic. common. courtesy.
I doubt it will be read by the problem, but on the off chance, maybe it'll do some good.
Its really not stress I need right now, I keep a lot of my life private so there is a heap of stuff in the background people don't know. So its just exhausting.
I do hope stuff clear and settles for the better soon for ya!
