Any interest in commissions these days?

Hi folks!
I know it's been a long time since I've really done much 'normal' activity on my FA page here..and I do apologize for that. I do hope a fraction of you folks watching me don't mind reading this- please don't hesitate to leave a remark. I do love talking to you beautiful people. :D
Life's just been busy for me since last year, since I moved down here to PA. I have something resembling a normal life now, and it's been interesting for me. I spend most of my time working, and when I'm home I'm usually doing apartment-y things or streaming or gaming or just relaxing.
I know I haven't been doing much beadwork lately, if at all. Hell, my last commission was before I moved back in April 2016. Beadwork used to be my main source of income, and was therefore more of a necessity for me personally than it is now. I haven't been pushing the work nearly as much because I haven't needed to. This doesn't at all mean I no longer wish to do it- quite the opposite, really! I loved making stuff for people and bringing their favorite games to life. The problem with the work I do is that I can't' just make something on a whim most of the time and expect it to move-- with digital art at least your only real expense is time. With beadwork, I have to pay for beads, replacement materials, ironing paper, etc. -- and while they are not super expensive, it's still a cost every time I make a piece..and I only have a finite amount of beads and wall space to display things, y'know?
It winds up being a somewhat vicious cycle for me- if I stop making beadwork, I no longer draw in people to my page. If I no longer draw in any people, there is no interest in my work, and no new work is made.
Anyway, the whole point of this journal is to ask if there is still any interest in having stuff made these days. I'm not begging for work or asking folks to give me money by any stretch- I'm just wondering if this is a pursuit I should continue investing in to, or if I should just let it slide. I love doing it, but I've done about all I can do for myself personally. I might think of a piece here and there I'd like made, but I really would love to make some art for you folks. Any money I make is probably going to go into a fund for cons/my eventual fursuit, and of course new materials as needed.
Pricing information can be found here.
Additionally..is there anything you'd want to see from me, either in terms of a request, or an evolution in my style? Would you even care? I'm just simply curious to hear people's thoughts. I'm not going to complain if folks show disinterest- that in itself is a result, and I'm okay with that. Just would love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for taking the time to read, and if you ever have any feedback or questions about me, please ask! I'm still alive and love interacting with y'all. <3 <3
