BUY READY-TO-WEAR CERTIFIED TAGS IN MY ONLINE SHOP!
Check out the Mary Mouse Online Stash! Hello all!
It's been some time since I've been active, so I'd like to post a few updates on what I have planned for the rest of the year.
If you aren't someone who wants to read a long fluffy journal, here's the TLDR:
- Certified Tag Customs are on indefinite hiatus. No commissions are available for now.
- I do not currently have any commission slots for mail order or con pickup scheduled.
- Yes, they will be back eventually and I will announce when that happens. :)
- Ready-to-Wear Certified tags will be back up for sale online soon(ish).
If you'd like to hang around for more personal chat, read on...
For the last 8 years, Certified commissions have been the main source of my artistic output, and I need to step back and take a break for a bit. During this break, I will be re-structuring how I take orders, adjusting pricing, and re-writing subject guidelines. Making this decision was a rough one, as I know there are many people still waiting patiently to have their own badge. I will never take that for granted, and I feel in the end this break will help me to provide even better service and final product in the future.
To that end, I've gone ahead and upgraded my current equipment! New computer, new software, and a new tablet. I am currently attempting to master my new tablet and I'm finding that I need a lot of practice. I've been using my older one for almost a decade, so I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. Maybe if I feel brave, I'll post some of my struggles here for you to gawk at. :o
Also! I am preparing to move away from Ohio, and will be settling down in Colorado this fall. I anticipate some studio downtime, but hopefully I will be back up and running at full speed once all of that dust settles. Looking forward to a change.
This year has been a mix of awesome and difficult, as I've had some amazing things as well as some very emotionally trying things happen. During that time, I really appreciate everyone who's been awesome to work with and I've enjoyed seeing all of the visitors to my table at cons over the months.
I hope you'll stick around during this small lull, and I hope everything is awesome in YOUR life!

Good luck with your move, either way!
And thank you - it's going to be an adventure. :D
I upgraded my Cintiq 12x to a Pro 24 and I feel like I got thrust into a future world!
Hope been well otherwise. If you are one for chats now and then give me a poke. I use most of the messenger services out there still. And notes of course.
Hope your move goes well, and thank you for all the awesome content you've produced.
Ever since I discovered you in 2013 you've been a staple, for me and I'm sure many many others in the fandom feel the same way. Those certified tags were an excellent idea and have certified you as an important artist in the fandom :P
Of course I will continue to support you no matter what your future brings. Even if you cut down on the custom certified badges for a while you still have several wonderful premade badges.
Good luck, I look forward to seeing you again at future cons :)
No but really, taking a break can really help rearrange your mind and help clear your head.
