      Oh thank you so much!!

      Since the bags vary so much between clients, I give individual quotes for each design, but! I do have my base commission prices here: Click! (and my TOS here: Click )

      I'm just about to head down to college to start my senior year (ahh!) so my commissions I think will be closed until winter break in late December/Early January. But I'm hoping to come back armed with more techniques and material knowledge. I'd love to make you a bat bag! They're such cute little buggars. I make fauna/flora based textile patterns and they're definitely on my list of "animals I must pattern-ify!".

        I completely understand the school thing! When you do open up again in December-ish I'm going to grab a painted bat (This bugger: http://www.merlintuttle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/MDT_120824_TH3_1.jpg ) large bag in this style from you (a little larger then messenger bag size, so probably 16x14 or 18x16) if that would be something you'd be willing to do? I wouldn't be able to get it until Novemeber/December anyway so that works out for me!

        If that's something you could do I'm going to be so dang excited! It would be super cool if you could even do a custom pattern on the sides and back of the different kind of bats I love, I would seriously pee rainbows all over the place if you could do that I'M NOT EVEN JOKING!!!

        If this sounds possible to you let me know and I'll send you a note and maybe we could hammer out some details and all that so I could make sure I've got enough saved up by the time you open again!

        Thanks!

          Sorry for the slow response- I've been speed packing for move back down to school. l'D

          But Definitely! Their wings are so pretty- a bag that sized with that critter would be a lot of fun to do. And YES! An original bat pattern textile is definitely doable. I'm actually taking a part time job as a digital textile printer (so think like a regular printer but on fabric!) which opens the door to so many more color and detail pattern options. I'm super excited!

          Yes! Send me a note whenever you get a chance and we can talk more details. C: I'm actually driving down to school tomorrow so after this weekend things should be a little calm and replies more steady.
