Hello Everyone!
This is our second update for the rest of 2019's summer as we have some more concrete information since our last summer update!

1. Etsy Deactivation & Reactivation
2. Convention Plans
3. Next Custom Commission Opening & Pricing
4. Potential New Scale Color Options
5. New Content on our Youtube!
1. Etsy Deactivation & Reactivation
We have a confirmed spot at a convention during Halloween weekend (see section 2 for more details) so we will be deactivating many listings on Etsy soon! The following will be deactivated on August 1st, at 11:59pm Eastern Standard Time:
All Premade Ready-to-Ship projects. There aren't many left so be sure to get those before they're gone!
Large Custom Projects: Large-XL Custom Tails, Large Unclawed Gauntlets, and Large Artistic Liberty Tail Designs
If you are interested in any of these, please check out our shop sooner than later! First come, first serve.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/JayeCreationsStore
Once the items are deactivated, we will not be reactivating until about the 2nd weekend in November. Whatever premade items don't sell at the convention will be relisted. We are unsure of what custom slots will be available yet.
2. Convention Plans!
Yes! We have been accepted to vend at Youmacon 2019! (https://www.youmacon.com/) We do not have an exact booth placement yet but we know that we are going to have a corner table!
We will be filling a 10x10ft spot, biggest we have had so far! So we are extremely busy making a ton of stock for that event. For reference, we are up to 25 small tails alone! If you're going to be at the convention, definitely stop by and say hi!
As per usual, whatever does not sell at this convention will be available on Etsy immediately following the convention. All the details regarding that will be announced ahead of time!
Unfortunately, due to the sheer size of Youmacon, the amount we are making for it (in hopes of high sales), and the short amount of time afterwards, we have decided NOT to apply for Midwest FurFest dealers this year. We cannot afford to attend without vending, so for the first time in 4 years, we will not be attending at all come this December. We apologize if this is an inconvenience to anyone but wish those who are attending to have a ton of fun!
3. Next Custom Commission Opening and Pricing
The next customs opening is still TBD. Nothing is for sure yet, however, due to more concrete convention plans, we have a rough idea of what we will be doing.
Next complex customs opening will probably be in the beginning of January, and it will be a large opening where we take many slots!
Right now, we have a very full queue of customs that we are managing along with making stock for Youmacon. It is unsure as to exactly how long it's going to take us to finish that up. If we think we are going to clear it before 2020 comes along, then we will open for some additional simple customs on our Etsy (first come, first serve). If we resort to this, we will be giving a 1 weeks notice announcement.
With the 2020 customs opening though, prices will be increased. Exact pricing is currently to be determined. The price increase will primarily be affecting the larger projects. Prices are going up as our product quality is better and we are barely minimum wage for these projects.
For those interested in saving/budgeting for a project. prices will not be increasing anymore than $150. Smaller projects are probably only going to increase $5-15.
If you already have a 2019 quote from us, simply add the difference in base price cost. Any additional charges noted in your quotes are for additional materials/labor and are not affected by base price changes. Unless requesting an entirely new project, please do not submit another quote.
We will announce it to emailing list members and on our social medias when price changes are finalized, however, we are still quite a few months before 2020 comes around.
Any premade projects made in 2019 that are placed on Etsy after the convention will stay at 2019 pricing.
4. Potential New Scale Colors Options
We have begun dabbling in alcohol ink painting on top of scales! With this, we may be offering custom painted scales in the future. This is not a 100% guarantee yet but we are enjoying our time painting them! So far, we are only painting them on top of frost scales, and the underside of them are not painted.
Pricing on getting painted scales on a project is still unclear but it will be similar to other premium scales explained on our website: https://jayecreations.wixsite.com/j...../color-options
5. New Content on our Youtube!
Coming right after that section, we are recording our painting the scales! If you are into relaxing painting videos then we strongly recommend checking it out! Alcohol inks are very fascinating to watch!
Our first video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/JJMyhXiPZhU
If you didn't know we had a Youtube channel well now you know! We use it as a video archive for almost all our large projects! Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Wuffjaye
That about wraps it up!
Thank you so much for your time and we wish everyone to enjoy the rest of their summer!
