Don't forget guys, fursuit commissions will be opening TOMORROW, MONDAY 8TH! All info can be found on my website - http://www.madebymercury.co.uk , so be sure to have a read through of my prices and terms of service, and have your ref sheets and info ready :) Kigu commissions will be opening a week later, on the 15th of June.

Can't wait to see what new projects I'll be working on!

I got back from Confuzzled on Wednesday and wow it was a great! Got a bit of a case of con crud now but it should clear up soon and I'll be back into work on Monday! Thanks to anyone who said hi or came by my table and bought something, you guys are great <3 I've got a few emails to get back to, so I'll be getting round to those this weekend.

In other news, sadly my cheetah partial didn't sell at the con, but that means he's now available online! He has a couple of ladder options available, and payment plans are accepted for any of the ladder options. Go take a look and spread him around! - http://www.thedealersden.com/auctio.....tion_id=118083

And finally, don't forget fursuit commissions open on the 8th June, and kigu commissions open a week later! Details can be found here - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6730516/

Thanks guys!

I'll be at Confuzzled once again this year, and I'll be in the dealers den selling all sorts of things too! I'll have fursuit props, kigus, handpaws and collars for sale, and I'll be posting some previews of those tomorrow :)

I'm also holding a Made by Mercury photoshoot for all suits and kigus I've made over the years. All the details are here - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16574748/

Emails will be caught up on tomorrow evening or Thursday morning before I leave. I've been working crazy long days this past week and a bit trying to get all my prep done so if you haven't had a reply from me yet that's why! I'll get back to everything asap though :)

That's about it for now, I can't wait to see everyone on Thursday!

Hey guys! Just wanted to announce the dates for the summer round of commissions. Quotes for fursuits will be opening on June 8th, and kigus on June 15th. Both will be closing on June 22nd, where I will choose the slots for the next 6 months. There has been a price increase for this round, and the new prices are as follows:

Heads: £500+
Partials: £900+
Plantigrade fullsuits: £1250+
Digitigrade fullsuits: £1500+

Kigus: £200+
(all prices in GBP, use https://www.xe.com for currency conversions)

Upon being picked, a 30% deposit will be required within a week for fursuits, and a 50% deposit within a week for kigus. All other info can be found in my terms of service - http://madebymercury.webs.com/termsofservice.htm . The completion dates for this batch will range between July - December, and slots will be pretty limited as usual, especially for kigus.

Any questions just let me know!

Hi guys, first off I'd just like to address something that you may have noticed over the last few days. From the next batch of fursuits/kigus (which will be taken around June), prices will increase. Kigus will now be £200, but will also include pockets as standard again, instead of being an optional extra cost. Fursuit prices have increased by £100-£250 depending on what is ordered. The new prices mean I can work less and take weekends off, which isn't something I've been able to do in all my time in this job, especially in the nearly 2 years I've been doing it full time. This also means however that I will have time to take on small parts commissions, specifically for sockpaws and stuffed handpaws! I haven't been able to do this in a long time, so I'm really looking forward to it.

As for general updates, things are going well! Marshall and Chargan are due to be finished at the end of March/start of April, along with Artic's, Cleo's, and Cosmo's kigus. Kigu work has been a little delayed, but I'll be making some changes that will make the wait worth it! April is going to be super busy for me as it's the month before Confuzzled AND my birthday month, so I'll be aiming to get as much as I can at the start of the month as possible. Prep for Confuzzled is already underway, but of course the run up to it is going to be as stressful as ever with the amount of stock I have planned.

Keep an eye out for more work coming soon!

Oh man this month man. What a month. Things have been incredibly hectic due to all sorts of reasons so work and emails have been a little slow, so I really apologise for that! I'm going to try and catch up on emails and my organisational work for the new commissions today, as well as work on Physics' bodysuit and head some more. I also need to finalise the new kigu commissions and send out emails to those who unfortunately didn't get slots, so hopefully I'll be able to do that soon as well.

A rough plan is to have Physics and Lust finished before Christmas, as well as HOPEFULLY two kigus, but I can't say on those for sure. If they're not done before Christmas, then it'll definitely be before new year. Then I'll be working on Ebby during the week between Christmas and new year, and then for a couple of weeks into January. Things are unfortunately a couple of weeks behind, but with having to fit in Christmas plans and going to see mine and my partner's parents, I've lost out on some more days than I had planned. Thankfully I'd originally only taken on one suit and one kigu for December, so I should be able to catch up alright.

I'll keep people updated via email as much as I can, but if you're ever wondering where I'm at with your project, please don't hesitate to email me and I'll try and reply as soon as possible. If I don't update here before, I hope you guys have a great Christmas!

Thanks so much for the response guys, I'm closing up now and giving everyone a chance to reply if they want to, and then I'll be choosing slots soon :)

Hope you're all enjoying the holidays!

Hey guys, I'm now opening for an extremely limited amount of slots for kigus! These will be for March - June completion and I am NOT offering deadlines for this batch, so please do not request one in any communication. Here's what you need to know before submitting a form:

- Please fill out the quote form below and I will reply with a quote. CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDERS.
- You will need to reply to your quote to confirm your interest in continuing the commissioning process. If you are then chosen, a 50% deposit will be due within 7 days.
- Completion will be between March and June 2015
- Piercings and full hair are not available at this time.
- Faux fur accents are available at an extra cost.

I will be open for a very short amount of time, so submit a quote soon if you'd like to be considered for a slot! You can find the form here - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1ue.....?usp=send_form

Fursuit commissions are now closed, thank you so much to everyone who submitted a form :) I will be waiting to day or two to make sure everyone's had a chance to reply if they would like to, and will be handing out the slots mid-late this week. Holiday collar pre-orders are now closed as well and work will begin on them shortly.

On another note however, kigurumi commissions will be opening shortly, on December 8th! Kigus start from £150 and there will be NO DEADLINES AVAILABLE for this batch. Completion will be for between March and June, so there will be VERY few slots available. I'll post more info on that closer to the time, but for now I'll be going over my fursuit slots and making the tough decision of who to take on for this round. Thanks again for all the interest guys!

That's right, quotes close TOMORROW for both fursuit quotes and holiday collar pre-orders, so make sure you submit a form ASAP if you'd like an awesome collar ready for Christmas, or a suit for Confuzzled! This is your last chance to get a suit from me for the con, so make sure you don't miss out. All details for both fursuits and collars can be found here - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15041614/

Thanks guys!

It's that time again, fursuit commissions are now open! For a quote, please fill out the following form with all the relevant information and I will reply to you as soon as possible with your quote and information on how to continue with the commission if you choose so. Here's all the information you'll need to know:

- Quotes will be open for 1 - 2 weeks depending on interest, so it's best to submit a quote sooner rather than later! Remember to check your junk folders for a reply.
- You will need to reply to your quote to confirm your interest in continuing the commissioning process. If you are then chosen, a 30% deposit will be due within 7 days.
- Completion will be between March and June 2015.
- Base prices can be found here - http://madebymercury.webs.com/commi.....nfopricing.htm
- This will be the only batch of commissions I'll be taking for Confuzzled, so this is your last chance to get a suit from me before the con!
- Quotes are open for heads, partials and fullsuits, NO EXTRA PARTS including bodysuits. Your order does not have to contain all elements of the items described, but it MUST include a head. I do not take orders that don't include heads.
- If you are a previous customer interested in upgrading or ordering extra/replacement parts including bodysuits, please email me directly at madebymercury@hotmail.co.uk. This offer is only open to previous customers.
- Please read my TOS, by submitting a quote you are agreeing to this - http://madebymercury.webs.com/termsofservice.htm

And finally, here is a link to the quote form - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11o.....?usp=send_form

I'm taking VERY few slots this round, so please don't be too disappointed if you're not chosen. I'll be opening again in the spring so there's not too long a wait between batches :) This round of commissions is for fursuits only, kigu commissions will open some time next month.

I think that's everything, so good luck to all those hoping to commission me! I can't wait to see the designs I get in this round :D

Just a quick reminder, I'll be opening for new fursuit commissions TOMORRROW (Monday 17th). These will be for March - June completion, with very limited slots available. I'll be open for between 1 and 2 weeks for quotes, depending on how much interest I have so if you're interested, make sure you fill out a quote form sooner rather than later! Base prices can be found on my website, along with my terms of service - http://madebymercury.webs.com

Also, I'll be opening for holiday fursuit collar pre-orders! I will have three designs available, with a limited number of each to be made. There will be a small quote form to fill out for these too :) They will be £15 inc. postage to the UK, or £20 inc. postage elsewhere. For a sneak peek of the designs, check out my Facebook or Twitter (links in the footer) ;D

Right now I'm working on 4 kigus and 2 fursuits, with 4 projects still needing to be posted, so I'll have a lot to show really soon :D

Hey guys, long time no update haha. I'm all moved now though! Still not quite unpacked but I'm getting there. I'm really enjoying living here, I have my own space to make fursuits and all my other crafts and it's so nice to not constantly be living in my work space. My productivity's gone up a ton and I'm in a pretty good routine now! I'm in pre-con rush mode prepping for Scotiacon, then once I'm back from that on the 10th I'll be back into my normal work schedule :)

That brings me onto my next topic, I'll be opening for very limited slots for Confuzzled completion on the 17th November. These slots will be for March - June completion, and I'll be taking on VERY few commissions for Confuzzled as I'm wanting to leave May completely open for con prep work. These slots will only be for fursuits, kigu slots will be open at some point in December. Quotes will be open for 1-2 weeks before I choose the slots, although this time may be shortened depending on how many quotes requests I get, so if you're desperate for a suit by me for Confuzzled, make sure you submit a quite form sooner rather than later! I will be open for heads, partials and fullsuits, no other separate parts. Base prices can be found here - http://madebymercury.webs.com/commi.....nfopricing.htm and custom quotes will not be given until the quote form opens on the 17th! This will also be the last batch before I raise my prices again, so if you're after a bargain then make sure you get in for this batch! If you have any quotes, don't hesitate to ask :)

I think that's everything, really looking forward to opening up again!

Hey guys, just a quick update. I'm moving house, again, this Saturday (30th August). I won't have internet until the 11th September, so emails will be pretty here and there until I get a solid connection. I'm going to try and round up all those who are waiting on emails from me over the next couple of days so that no one's left out of the loop while I disappear for a couple of weeks. I'm estimating I'll be taking about a week out to arrange everything with my new place, set up any bills and accounts that need doing, and furnish my new work room etc., so hopefully by around the 8th I'll be back in the swing of things and working on Exodus' head and Paaparu. Any delays and customers will of course be kept up to date via email :)

I'm so excited to move oh man, I'm going to be living with my boyfriend and will have my own dedicated work room just for suit and kigu stuff, I can't wait ;3; I'll probably post pics/videos of everything once I'm all settled haha. I'm thinking of maybe starting an update vlog too? Who knows. Lots of plans aaahhhhh.

Hey again guys, another Scotiacon journal :)

As I'm fortunate enough to be GoH this year, I'll be hosting some panels at the con! I have a couple of ideas, but I'd really like to hear what other people would like to see at the con, since obviously I'll be creating these panels for you guys :) So if you have any ideas based around fursuit construction or anything of the like, make sure you let me know!

Hey guys, just a quick shout out :) You may not be aware, but I've been chosen to be Guest of Honour at Scotiacon this year! Scotiacon is a convention running in Scotland and although it sounds far away to most people, is actually super accessible since it's only 20 minutes away from Edinburgh :) I really want this to be a great year for the con, they've had a good few years and there's already quite a few people signed up, so make sure you sign up quick! It's also very affordable in comparison to some of the bigger conventions, so definitely worth looking into.

Thanks for reading guys!

Hi guys! Thought it was time for a quick update :) Commissions of all kinds are now closed, and I'd like to thank everyone that expressed their interest. Commissions for fursuits will reopen in November, and kigus will reopen in December. I've started on my new batch of fursuits and I'll be starting on the new kigus at the end of this month :)

On the subject of kigus, I'd like to apologise to the few people that never received a quote (there should only be 3 or 4 of you). After Confuzzled I became inundated with kigurumi requests, and struggled to keep up with those along with finalising the new batch of fursuit commissions. I'll be contacting those who did not receive quotes with an offer shortly. This is also the reason for staggering fursuit and kigu commission openings at the end of the year; so I can hopefully handle things a little better.

I've also updated my public work queue an am now using Trello. I'm finding it really useful currently, so I'll probably be sticking with it for a while! Here's a link to the queue - https://trello.com/b/rA7nLTvQ/made-.....ury-work-queue

That's about it for now! I should have a new suit to show off next week, and then a lot of kigus before the end of the month. Work's going to pick up quite a lot over the next month and a half since I'm moving house again in September, so I'm wanting to get as much out of the way as possible before then.

Thanks everyone for your continued patience!

Not entirely fursuit related but I thought I'd crosspost since it'll probably get a bit more attention on this account. I'm a bit worried about my budget for the next few months so I'm opening up some badge commissions to be done over the next week. All the details can be found here - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5849279/

I'm also still open for one pair of stuffed handpaws, the details of which can be found here - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5824408/

Thank you for taking the time to look C: Any sharing around would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a bit of spare time at the end of this month, so I thought I'd open for a couple of pairs of my new stuffed handpaws! Seen here - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13597641/ , they're stuffed with high quality wadding, and come with vinyl pawpads, and vinyl claws at an added cost. The prices are:

Up to two colours, without claws - £140 GBP + postage
Up to two colours, with claws - £150 GBP + postage

If you'd like a slot, just comment here with a reference and I'll let you know if you've got the slot. This isn't necessarily first come first served, but unless your design is super complicated, I won't likely turn down your request :) Payment is required either in full or can be split into two 50% payments. The second payment is due no longer than a month later than the first. If you request a spot please be ready to pay! Payment is required within 48 hours of your slot being confirmed.

That's it! Can't wait to make more of these, there's so fun :3

Slot 1. MousieFuzz
Slot 2.

Oh man this past week has been so crazy, everything's just flown by. The con was great, dealers den was great, everything was great! Thank you so much to anyone who swung by my table and bought something, or even just said hi! CFz is always an awesome con for me :3

SO at the moment I'll just trying to get myself composed so I can start getting back into the swing of work. This weekend I'll be taking some time to catch up on a few repair jobs that need doing, then it's back to commission work on Monday. Next week I'll also be starting to properly arrange things for the next batch of commissions and will start ordering materials, so if you've got a slot for this round keep an eye on your emails!

Lots to do at the moment, thank you to everyone again for your continued patience!

That's right, I'm now closed for fursuit commissions. Thanks so much to everyone who submitted a quote; I'm very excited to get started on the new projects in a couple of months!

Kigu commissions are still open however, so just have a looksee here for details - http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5710498/

I'm leaving tomorrow for Confuzzled for a week, so emails and normal work will resume at the end of next week :)

Commissions are now open! I will accepting less commissions than usual this time round since I'm moving at the end of summer and don't want to overload myself with work, so if you're interested, make sure you send in a form quick! Forms will be open for as long as it takes me to fill up slots, so while it's not first come first served, I'd still recommend sending in a form sooner rather than later if you'd like a slot.

Can't wait to see what critters I get to make this time round!

Just a little reminder that fursuit and kigu commissions are opening tomorrow! So have your ref sheets ready, and I'll be replying to quotes starting from Tuesday :) I'll be open until I fill all of my slots for this round, so it's not first come first served, but I wouldn't suggest leaving it too late in case I fill up quick! I'm open for all types of commissions as long as they include a head, and kigurumis as well. Here's a quick reminder of my prices:

Heads: £400+ (approx. $670)
Partials: £700+ (approx. $1175)
Plantigrade fullsuits: £1000+ (approx. $1680)
Digitigrade fullsuits: £1250+ (approx. $2100)

Kigurumis: £150+ (approx. $250)

Bare in mind exchange rates are changing all the time, so use http://www.xe.com/ucc for an up to date conversion :) For fursuit commissions I require a 30% deposit within one week of accepting your commissions, and for kigus it's 50%. Can't wait to see what I get to make this round!

Hey guys! I've been meaning to decide on this for a while now, but I've been so swamped with work it's kept slipping my mind. It's coming up to that time where the end of my queue is in sight, so I've decided that quotes and commissions for both fursuits and kigurumis will reopen on Monday 28th April. Projects from this batch will begin in July and the last will be finished around December. I'll be taking June to make sure the last projects from my current list are cleared, and to work on a few personal projects that have been sitting on the back burner for a while.

I'm going to be doing things a little differently this round. I'm moving house (again) in September, so to avoid the stress of last year, I'll only be taking on one fullsuit or equivalent a month until September/October, plus one or two kigurumis. I'll then fill in my free time with premade suits and smaller items like sockpaws and tails; things that won't stress me out too much while I'm house-hunting. After September/October, I'll resume my normal schedule.

There has also been a price increase across the board for my suits. The new prices have been in my artist description for a while, but for anyone who hasn't seen, they go as follows:

Heads: £400+ (approx. $665)
Partials: £700+ (approx. $1165)
Plantigrade fullsuits: £1000+ (approx. $1665)
Digitigrade fullsuits: £1250+ (approx. $2080)

Prices are in GBP, but I've added the USD approximate conversions for convenience.

If anyone has any questions just leave a comment and I'll get back to you when I can! Really looking forward to seeing what I get to make this round :)

Got my back support last week and it's helped an incredible amount, work's totally back to normal now thankfully. Work's resumed and going well, Don's due to be finished at the end of this week, I'm working on Vulpine's head while I'm away from tomorrow until Friday, and then I'll be working on Cathal next week. After that I'll be catching up on the kigu orders, and then it's onto the rest of the Confuzzled deadline suits. The next few months are going to be incredibly stressful, but I'm feeling really positive about this batch of suits, and I've got some great things lined up for my Confuzzled dealers den table :3

Info on new commission openings will be coming soon, I'm going to be doing things a little differently for this next batch since I'm moving again in September, and I learnt from last time that moving with a whole load of suit orders on the go is really just too much stress. But yeah, more information on that soon C:
