Busy time of year!
Posted 8 years agoHey everyone!
So as a heads up, this is going to be a very busy time of year for both of us as we head into full-work mode.
We will also be focusing most of our time on getting many commissions complete,
as well as prepping for our Dealer Den table at AnthroCon!
Please excuse slower responses on messages, emails, and notes!
You can see Sparkle and Dazzle at Biggest Little Fur Con or at AnthroCon!
We will post journals with Sparkle Kreation Photoshoot information for both conventions over all social media.
Also, we are now closed for all of our large custom commissions.
We just filled our last slot and are now closed for any projects for the rest of this year, except for custom and pre-made tails.
We will leave Quotes open for now as well, for those interested in saving up for future commissions!
Thanks everyone for their continued support!
And always, stay "Fantastically Fluffy"!

Major News Regarding Sparkle Kreations Team
Posted 8 years agoGreetings everyone!
Today we are bringing you some rather important news from our workshop.
Recently, our team has gotten together and had some deep discussions regarding it's future.
As many of you know, Sparkle has been making fursuits and costumes since 2007, and Sparkle Kreations has officially been in business since 2011. Cirque joined the business sometime shortly after, and Dazzle joined us recently back in December last year.
We all planned to continue this business together for a long time, however, recently, Cirque came to Sparkle with an idea and a curiosity to pursue other dreams in his life. So Sparkle put together a plan to train Dazzle up to the level he needed to be at for Cirque to comfortably leave, so that Cirque can pursue his other life passions. Cirque officially has left Sparkle Kreations as of last week.
Sparkle and Dazzle still love this community, and plan to bring you high-quality fursuits and costumes for many, many years to come!
We are continuing to work with our wonderful electronics fur, Gintasa, and our programmer fur, Wolfwings, to bring you awesome new ideas and concepts you have yet to see in this costuming world. We also have a silent fluff who aids us with answering some of our watchers, facebook messages, and other social media tasks, Shadow Dragon, which is a huge help in it's own.
As for our existing customers,
Since Dazzle is still rather new to a few things within the business, we are still progressing forward and getting lots of commissions completed. If you have a deadline request, please email, telegram, FA note, Facebook note, or otherwise message Sparkle about your request and we will do our best to accommodate you. Do keep in mind that these are requests, and are not deadlines we can adhere to 100%. We thank you for your understanding and patience. If you do not have a request, we would also appreciate some form of note or message letting us know your flexibility, as that is also important to know. It will not change your position in our queue, it will simply relieve some stress off our minds as we do tend to work on 3 to 5 projects at once.
From Sparkle and Dazzle at the workshop, we wish you a "Fantastically Fluffy" day!

Recent Events... (first week of March 2017)
Posted 8 years agoHi there everyone!
As you all know, we have been making pretty incredible progress as of recently!
We've been pretty proud of ourselves, and the three of us have been working hard.
This past week, we hit a few bumps though, and here are the recent events:
Last Sunday, we started our week off with a great start, and Monday went smoothly as well.
When our work day ended on Monday, two of us (Dazzle and Sparkle) went off to an eye appointment to get an annual eye exam.
For both of them, it had been many years since an eye exam had been had, though nothing felt out of place.
A red flag went up for Sparkle's exam, and a few more tests had been asked of him.
So after a few more tests, it was determined that he was going to have to go to the Emergency Room due to abnormally high pressure in the right eye.
This could be due to many things, and it could be very serious, or it could be very minor, or it could be nothing at all.
Dazzle and Sparkle went to one ER, and then that one ER transferred him to another ER, one of the larger ones in the state,
and there he remained for larger tests (such as an MRI and a Lumbar Puncture... a brain scan and a needle near the spine.. ouch!) for over 6 hours well into the early hours of the morning.
Sparkle was diagnosed with "Pseudo-Tumor-Cerebri" (A fake tumor that can become serious if not treated, can lead to blindness.)
Needless to say, he was ordered not to work for a few days.
So they went home and rested, and by the end of the following day, Sparkle was feeling some really odd effects of the medicine he was sent home with.
The next morning, Thursday, the odd effects were worse, so he went back to the ER, and a few hours later, the medicine dose was adjusted, and he was sent home again.
He rested, feeling a bit better, and the next day, he felt new and different effects of the medicine, and by the end of that day, it was much worse.
So the following day, Saturday, he went back to the ER again, and they prescribed him a different medicine.
The other medicine would take a few days to wear off completely, and the new medicine would hopefully have less severe effects.
So far the only side effect the other medicine has is that Sparkle is working a bit slowly, he is not able to go at full speed quite yet.
And while I, Sparkle, typed this in third person, typically this would only take me only 10, maybe 15 minutes to type up, it took me about 45 minutes to type.
At least there are no severe side effects that are painful to this medication.
The doctors have assured me that things will be alright, I am on the path to recovery.
I appreciate everyone's kind thoughts so far and patience during this time as we try our best and we get back up to speed.
We will keep you all posted, and stay fluffy!!

Generic Updates!
Posted 9 years agoHey there!
We hope that the new year has started off Fantastically for everyone!
Ours definitely has a great new beginning so far, and we are excited about all the fun stuff to come this year!
Firstly, we would personally love to address everyone who helped promote or donate to our recent Patreon goal.
We didn't reach our goal, though we did increase our amount and get a little closer!
All the funds we did gather will be going towards our goal mentioned-
some fur will be bought to begin stocking our webstore as well as preparing for any conventions we get to sell at this year.
If you are interested, we do offer tails, sketches, preorders on new products, early access to commission openings, and more on our Patreon just for helping us out!
https://www.patreon.com/SparkleKreations
Secondly, we got a new member that started with us in December, and he is Dazzle, a rainbow Crow!
We hope with the newest addition to our team that our production time will speed up, and that we can also spend more time focusing on all of you wonderful customers!
Lastly, we do apologize for some delays in December; some delays due to materials arriving later then expected,
and some delays due to the month overwhelming us more then we thought with the holidays.
We are focused on getting our current batch done and we plan to stay on track with all commissions currently,
and stick to our schedule along with our forecasted finish times for those commissions.
Thank you all for your continued patience, support, and love!
Stay Fluffy!

Quotes OPEN now! Commissions OPEN Nov 14th!
Posted 9 years agoNovember 14th, 2016! Mark your calendars and save your pennies!
Our next estimated commission opening is April or May 2017!
Here's the basics:
Payment is preferred through Paypal, but we CAN accept many other methods!
A down payment will be due within 24 hours of commission acceptance. The payment amount will vary from person to person.
Your commission (unless you are a monthly payment plan commissioner) will be completed no later then May 2017.
We will open that day and take a select number of commissions, all depending on the types.
For example, if we get 10 people applying for a tail commission and 5 people for a full fursuit,
we will likely take most of the tail slots and only a few of the fursuit slots.
Another example, if we get 5 people wanting to do the minimum monthly payment plans ($200 per month),
we will only take 1 or 2 of them, and the rest of the slots are open to those who can pay off their commission within the timeframe.
All of our base prices are here: http://www.furaffinity.net/commissi.....rklekreations/

Please check out your name in our Public Queue List (seen at the top of every journal we post) to see which way we contacted you, and be sure to get back to us as soon as you can.
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing what kind of creatures we get to bring to life when our new queue list opens in November!
Thanks everyone for your patience and support!
New prices, TOS, and quotes coming soon!
Posted 9 years agoThat's right!
We are working diligently on commissions as well as our price and Terms of Service revisions.
It took some time, and we are finally close to announcing our new prices for commissions!
Our Terms of Service is a bit further behind that, though we hope to complete and post that soon as well!
Stay tuned!

All settled into our new home!
Posted 9 years agoSparkle speaking here:
Finally!
I have to admit, that took WAY longer then expected.
From the past two years of expanding our business, we have definitely gained a lot more materials and tools.
I am exhausted, mentally and physically, from all the moving, unpacking, organizing, and cleaning.
At least our workshop is now 100% set up and ready to go!
In the process of moving, however, one of our industrial machines was damaged on the metal holster that holds up the motor.
I honestly have no idea how much it will cost to repair, and I will get a quote soon.
I may need to post a GoFundMe or raise some funds to repair the machine, depending on the final cost.
Thankfully, nothing else was lost or damaged in the moving process (next time we are hiring someone to do our moving for us).
There is also some big news that we need to address.
Cirque and myself, after 6 1/2 years of being in a relationship together, have decided to go our own ways and end our relationship.
Some of you may have already heard, and I have gotten a few concerns being messaged to me.
The main concern that people have asked is; "Will this affect the business, or my commission?"
The answer is simply "No, it will not."
Cirque and myself have decided to continue working together, as we do work well and it only benefits the business that we continue to do so.
If any problems should arise in the future, we will tackle those problems head-on.
This does mean one major change though- instead of us sharing the business as potential partners,
I, Sparkle, now handle all communications aspects of the business, and also hold the main role of Business Owner/Boss.
Any updates, messages, commission openings, sales, opinions, or other such news will only be from the actual Sparkle Kreations pages.
This includes FurAffinity, Facebook, Twitter, DeviantArt, Weasyl, Patreon, YouTube, and any other site I may have forgotten to type down.
Anything on our personal pages does not reflect the business or it's ethics/views/opinons.
So in the meantime, I will get back to all of the messages we have received during the moving process, and fursuit work is resuming as of today.
Thank you all for your continued support of our company!

Officially moving time!
Posted 9 years agoWe are now in the process of packing up our temporary living space and preparing to move into our new home on the 1st!
Then we will be unpacking and setting up our permanent work and living space over the week following (potentially up to 2 weeks, unsure of how long we will need).
Please excuse any delayed responses during this time, we will attempt to answer as quickly as possible during this big move.

Posted 9 years agoHey there everyone, bet you missed us!
Now, we have been very quiet for the past 3 weeks, and today is the first time I have been able to actually sit down and turn on my computer in a long time.
Cirque has been trying to assist during the chaos on Facebook and other websites/social media via his phone.
The LONG version of everything that went on:
As many of you know, I was sick in mid-June. The sickness did start to calm down, but it was an off/on thing. I was perfectly fine one day, and couldn't bear to move from my bed the next.
After a few more doctor appointments, I was finally diagnosed and given a good medicine that helped immensely.
I was on the medicine for 2 weeks, and at the end of it, my symptoms disappeared finally. (There was lots of pain and eating bland foods involved)
One week after the medicine wore off, I started experiencing mild symptoms again, and I still am.
I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday to see if it's something to be concerned about or lingering after-effects that will go away.
...and the sickness is just part one.
So we have posted many updates saying that we are indeed moving into a house this year.
Our original plans was slightly shifted, due to the house that our friends currently owned and are selling, it didn't sell as quickly as we had hoped.
So we moved onto plan two, which was a bit more complicated.
Basically, us and our other roommates had to find a temporary place to stay, since our lease was running out in early July and we didn't have a house even picked out yet.
A good friend, whom we helped out before, offered to let us stay with him for the month or two we needed until we secured and moved into the house.
However, he could not take all of our possessions, as the place he lived in was not large and already occupying himself and one other.
So we asked Cirque's mother if she was able and willing to store 90% of our personal belongings at her place, which she thankfully was able to.
We took many 1 hour trips up to her home to deliver many loads of carefully packed and organized boxes. We delivered the last load this past Wednesday.
...this is part two, and meshes with part three.
All the while, we have been house hunting, so we can keep an eye on the market, seek out good house styles and neighborhoods.
Finally, our friend's house sold in early July, and the paperwork is to be signed early August.
So we started house hunting a lot more, and went with a realtor to go see the places physically.
We found a perfect house, put down an offer (along with many others) and got accepted over all of them!
However, the catch is they needed a bit more time and we could not immediately move in.
Our move-in date is September 10th/11th, so we all had to still resort to the temporary living situation.
...and part three also coincides with part four.
During this timeframe, our apartment complex had just gotten new owners, and was doing construction and remodels everywhere.
They were digging, planting, rebuilding, remodeling, adding in washers and dryers to every unit, and a lot more stuff that unfortunately included us (and they couldn't wait one more month for us to move out).
Part of the new owners requirements was that they spray for several types of pests that were rumored or reported to be existing in the entire complex, some of which included cockroaches and bedbugs.
They gave us clean-up requirements to prepare for the exterminators. We had 1 week to comply for them to arrive on July 1st, however it wasn't enough.
Basically, they wanted us to clean all fabrics that may have come into contact with the carpet or been with us in the apartment since we had moved in, 2 years ago.
WELL. We are a costume-making business, so that means we had to wash ALL of our fur (and we have over 100 yards) and ALL of our fleece, spandex, pleather, and anything else you can imagine.
We tossed any scraps instead of selling them because it would have saved us a few loads of laundry.
On top of the business, we also had to clean all of our clothes, our massive stuffed toy collection, all of our personal costumes, towels, bed sheets.... you can only imagine the chaos.
We were washing stuff for 2 weeks straight, non-stop from the moment we woke up to the instant we lay down to sleep.
The cleaning often required us to hang things up to dry, and not touch the carpet before and after they sprayed, so we had to do some fancy tricks to get our huge bolts of fur to dry safely.
We were using 2 washing machines, too, to help speed up the process. We completed most of it by July 8th, and put the remainder we didn't finish into air-tight bags.
They sprayed us, and then we carefully resumed the cleaning of the rest of the bags.
We are STILL cleaning our business fabrics (on the last 2 bags today finally, thank goodness)
This process unfortunately required that we repack EVERYTHING that was already packed into boxes.
So before we could move everything to the new temporary location or to the storage at Cirque's mothers' house, we had to take stuff out of boxes, clean/inspect and replace the items into a bag into a new box.
ALSO during this time, we had 2 big birthdays to celebrate! We put together a small party to celebrate the two on one day, and we did a small celebration on each of the individual days.
The birthdays were myself (Sparkle, on the 16th) and our good friend and future roommate (Hyung, on the 11th).
Even during these days, we looked at houses, washed loads of laundry, and packed things up, not very celebratory, but we did enjoy the little time we had.
Needless to say, as I sit here for the first time in 3 weeks in front of my computer at our temporary living environment, I am at a loss where to begin.
We have lots of you wonderfully patient commissioners ready to receive any news or updates on your costume, and some of you looking forward to getting your costume in time for an event.
I am not sure where we sit at this exact moment, I am taking today to organize and set up our plan of work so that we may resume and catch up to where we need to be.
At this current point in time, we are unable to promise any deadlines, no matter how soon or far.
We do apologize for this, and as you can see, we were not 'goofing off' for the past 3 weeks avoiding work.
It actually drives me personally a bit insane, since I tend to be a work-a-holic that enjoys working on these costumes for anywhere up to 12 hours a day.
We will post another journal updating everyone as soon as we can get things straightened out and organized today or tomorrow.
The SHORT version of everything that went on:
I was sick and on medicines with off and on pain/drowsiness/other side effects from June 13th through now, and feeling better but not 100% yet.
Moving into a house had a few kinks in the plan, so we are temporarily living with a friend for a month and a half until we can move into our new home,
We had to unpack, repack, and store 90% of our stuff, and we are living minimally for the next month and a half. Thankfully we have everything we need to begin work this week!
We were house hunting a lot, and thankfully found a place we secured, and we plan on moving in September 10th/11th.
We had to clean every single piece of fabric we own, which has taken over 3 weeks already.
We have been washing laundry from the moment we wake up until the instant we lay down to sleep, and still are not done.
Today should be the last loads of laundry we have to do, finally.
The 16th was Sparkle's birthday! We spent half the day cleaning and packing, and half the day enjoying time with friends and being out of the apartment.
Thank you all for your patience and support!

Updates... and we are moving!!
Posted 9 years agoHi there guys!
Short and sweet here for you all-
Sparkle is doing LOTS better now from the hospital visits last month.
Thank you all for the support, whether it be financially or spiritually!
We are moving! Packing lots of boxes and as quickly as we can so we can resume work again.
This is just the first move of two- we are moving somewhere for about a month or so while we finalize on a house.
Then we move into the house and set up for a good 5 years or more!
This week we are doing lots of packing/moving stuff into storage, so pardon our absence!

Back from the ER again... (plus, do you want a tail?)
Posted 9 years agoThis has been a rough month for us both, although I (Sparkle) can say I have had my fair share of bad days recently.
TLDR -
Yesterday I was in pain and for the past two weeks having an issue. I went in to get checked, got meds but nothing to help the pain.
They said I have to let it pass it's course. I have an appointment today with my doctor to see what else we can do in the meantime.
I was not told that I shouldn't work, so I am finishing up these AnthroCon projects to be shipped out tomorrow with 2 day shipping.
Then I will work on projects according to how I feel- sometimes it is difficult to sit at all and I need to lay down, and my current medical condition gives me very little energy.
My assistants will help with projects as much as they can in the meantime.
TMI (and long version) -
I have had the runs for almost 3 weeks, barely having close to solid.
It is getting to the point that it is hard to move a lot without severe intestinal pain, and I was going to the bathroom somewhere between every 15 minutes to every 2 hours.
So when I went in yesterday to the ER, with hours of waiting for test results, they diagnosed me with 'C. Diff Enteritis' or basically 'infectious diarrhea'.
I could have caught it one of two ways, and unfortunately I fit both criteria; recent hospitalization or antibiotics.
I had both two weeks ago on my last Hospital visit.
They cannot give me anything for the pain currently, only antibiotics. I am supposed to eat probiotics to help counteract any negative effect on my body.
I was given 2 weeks for this to 'run its course' however we don't know when it officially started, it could have right after my last hospital visit, or any day between then and now.
I could be in for a rough 2 more weeks, I could be in for only one more rough day.
Even typing this journal I have had to pause and go lay down for a few minutes because of the pain I am going through.
I am going to an appointment today with my Primary Care Physician to see what else we can do to help me through this, as well as a basic checkup to make sure everything else is okay.
After the appointment, we will be focusing on the remaining AnthroCon items today to ship out with 2-day shipping tomorrow.
One of our assistants is coming in later today to help complete some tasks as well.
Because of what I have gone through and what I am still going through, my energy is very sapped and it is hard to sit sometimes.
It is difficult to move a lot, so walking is questionable and excersizing is way out of the question.
Another one of our assistants will be shipping out our boxes tomorrow, so as soon as he returns with tracking numbers I will provide those to everyone.
I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and support during these trying times.
So another drawback is that unfortunately, during this time, I have had to make a bunch of purchases related to medical expenses and it has left us a bit short for one bill this month.
Thankfully it is only one bill, however that bill is our rent. We find ourselves about $350 short of the amount we need.
So we are curious if anyone is wanting a tail commission slot, and at a lower price then usual.
We also have pre-made tails available too.
Custom tails, originally $120 and soon to be raised with our prices, is being offered right now at $100 total, including shipping within the US.
Pre-made tails I cannot budge on the prices for, and do not include shipping. Shipping is typically $20 within the US, $30 to Canada.
Pre-Made tail options: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4930381/
If you are interested in a tail, please comment below or send us a FA note.
If you simply wish to donate, you can do so at paypal (ask via fa note or skype or telegram and I will get you the info)
Thank you all for your consideration!

Updates on Health & AnthroCon Deadlines!
Posted 9 years agoSparkle typing here!
I come to you all with an update on my health. I am getting a lot better, in fact I feel better today then I have in the past few days.
The medicine they have me on is draining and I still have stomach pain from time to time, and while the pain is not as severe as last week, I still need to rest occasionally.
If you are behind on what's going on, the previous journal explains it: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7642792/
Basically, life threw me in the hospital for 3 days and gave me meds that are difficult to do anything while I am on them.
In other words, while I am allowed to work again starting today, it will not be at full capacity for another 9 days until my meds are finished up.
Myself and Cirque spent the first hour planning what we could accomplish within the next week.
We know AnthroCon is about a week and a half away, and that only leaves us 7 days to finish anything and ship it by next Tuesday to get to the hotel.
I am sending everyone on our AnthroCon deadline list a personal FA note/email/skype message describing your commission, the status, and possibility of it getting done.
Even though there will be a few we cannot finish in time for AnthroCon, we still plan on completing the commissions after and getting those to you soon.
I do apologize in advance for the commissions getting slightly behind, I wish I could have stayed healthy and not gotten sick.
I really appreciate all the love and support and well-wishes you guys have sent me over the past week, it has made me smile.
Thank you!!!
I come to you all with an update on my health. I am getting a lot better, in fact I feel better today then I have in the past few days.
The medicine they have me on is draining and I still have stomach pain from time to time, and while the pain is not as severe as last week, I still need to rest occasionally.
If you are behind on what's going on, the previous journal explains it: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7642792/
Basically, life threw me in the hospital for 3 days and gave me meds that are difficult to do anything while I am on them.
In other words, while I am allowed to work again starting today, it will not be at full capacity for another 9 days until my meds are finished up.
Myself and Cirque spent the first hour planning what we could accomplish within the next week.

Current Events (Updates for Commissioners, too)
Posted 9 years agoSparkle typing here!
For those who have not heard, I just got out of the hospital.
Long story made short without any gross stuff included;
I got really sick Sunday night, along with lots of pain. I went to the Emergency Room on Monday morning around 9 am because I felt so horrible.
They kept me in the ER with an IV until about 3 pm, and then they released me with some medicine to take. The virus gave me an infection, so I had 2 things I was dealing with.
A few hours after I returned home, I felt a bit better, however I started experiencing chest and back pain, and it got very severe in the night. I could not take a deep breath, and the biggest breath I could take was painful.
So Tuesday morning, I went back to the ER, and this time they took me right back and did lots of big tests, like a Catscan (haha, because I am a cat), an X-Ray, and ultrasound of my organs.
Since they could not find any issues, they sent me up to cardiology for 24 hour monitoring. Once I was up there, they did another ultrasound on my heart.
The doctors were baffled at this mysterious pain with hardly any symptoms of any worrisome health issue (I was negative on all accounts for stroke, and my tests kept saying I am a very healthy individual).
Finally, one doctor had a decent guess at what it was, and so they tried the medicine for it. 15 minutes later, no pain and I could breathe deeply again.
So what I had was called 'Acute pericarditis' and basically the virus I had the day before decided to inflame the areas around my heart and lungs.
Since I was/am healthy, my body was already trying to fight it off, however, it was already decided that I needed to stay for the night, and they would keep me on the medicine.
I woke up the next morning, and by noon, I was released. I spent most of my day yesterday getting my medicines from 2 pharmacies and resting in bed.
I have a lot of medicine I am on, and my body is still recovering for the next week. The medicine makes me tired and drowsy, and it is difficult to focus on certain tasks.
It took a lot just to type this update to you guys, however, I am getting better and I am home resting now.
Now for the commissioner updates.
The doctors want me to rest and no stress/work for a minimum of 2-3 days. Today counts as day 1.
I hope to be working again by Sunday or Monday. I am on most of these medications for 2 weeks, only 1 medicine is stopped on Sunday.
So, unfortunately, work is going to be very slow right now.
I already lost 3 days in the hospital, and I am losing a few more until I can get on my feet again.
Those commissioners that we are attempting to finish in time for AnthroCon- I am doing my best, I cannot guarantee they will be done at this point, and I am very very sorry.
I have my volunteers still coming in to help catch up on some work, however my tasks are still behind.
I promise we will do our best to get the fursuits out to you all.
I have 3 boxes ready to be shipped that were supposed to ship on Monday, I will see about getting them shipped tomorrow with the help of one of my assistants. (Zack Fox, Hatoma, Borealis)
Thank you all for the warm wishes on Twitter & Facebook, I appreciate the support and love during the past rough few days.
Thank you all for understanding our situation.
I will be able to check messages and answer back to people again starting (hopefully) Monday at the latest.
