ABOUT ME I'm 23yrs old and live on Long Island in NY. I just got my degree in Creative Writing and Philosophy and am using my free time to make some inetresting things. I enjoy reading anything I can get my hands on, especially literature that makes me think. I write short stories(fiction and non-fiction) and lots of poetry. My other big influence is music. When I was young I was more interested in playing my parents old records than I was with playing Barbie's, and I was one of those kids that sat in front of the radio for hours with my finger ready to push the record button on the tape player at any given moment. I wanted to hear every song that was ever made. Similarly, my personality is an ecclectic mix of styles. I am definitely a rock chick with a combination of hippie and goth influences.. a strange but necessary combination. I am fascinated by fashion from all eras, especially the gothic victorian era,  the rockabilly/atomic 50's, the hippie 60's, the groovy 70's, the kitschty 80's, and of course all that neon stuff from my childhood in the 90's. My own creations tend to be funky and psychedelic, or dark and mysterious. I see everything as a balance between darkness and light, good and evil, yin and yang, etc. This philosophy comes through in my art as well as my fashion. I believe that in manifesting a work of art, I become closer to God by playing the role of the creator. One of the greatest ways to become attuned with Divinity is to create something outward from within, and even better to share or trade it with someone else. I put lots of love energy into my creations because I actually love what I do while I'm doing it. I am blessed that you wonderful people give me the opportunity to live my dream

Custom Order Process

For custom orders, I require a deposit that goes toward your total. Its usually $20 upfront but may be more for items totalling more than $45. The deposit is refundable in the even that you dont like what I've made you once I show you the picture of the finished product. That hasnt ever happened but its just so I have money upfront for the cost of materials and it proves to me you're serious about the order. Unfortunately, before I required depsoits, people used to have me make them something and then keep putting off paying me weeks or months until they came up with the money. It is inconvnient for me if you do that, but as long as I have your deposit it makes it easier on me financially and I wont mind holding your item for awhile if you need. You just have to let me know if you cannot pay the total right away so I dont think you're missing in action and sell your item to someone else. So the rundown is- you conatct me and we can talk about what you want, you pay the deposit, I buy any necessary materials(this takes a few days extra if I need to buy something like a t-shirt off the internet), then I sew it up and email you pics, you let me know that you like it and what shipping method you want, you pay the remainder of your total, then I ship it out.

Payment Methods

I accept paypal and money orders. Paypal is preferred. No personal checks, sorry.

Shipping

I offer USPS first class, priority, and express shipping. Insurance is optional, available domestically for a small charge. $1.65 insures up to $100, its a lil bit more for more expensive items. I put a tracking number on all items shipped to the USA. I will of course give you the tracking # once its shipped.

I WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE. I have had many many satisfied international customers. Once a package to Canada got lost in the mail (suppossedly) and once a package to France took 3 months to arrive, but other than that I've shipped about 50 international packages collectively to Canada, France, Spain, England, Switzerland, Netherlands, Norway, Brazil, Peru, Australia, Germany, Italy and Ireland, and havent had any complaints. Things may get held up at customs occasionally for whatever reason but like I said, only once has something been lost. I cannot insure international items so you must assume all risk. I keep reciepts as proof of shipment.

I do not try to make money off shipping charges. In determining shipping costs I consider the actual shipping price, the price of packaging materials, and the unfortunate high price of gas. I go to the post office every 2 days, sometimes more because I dont like to keep my customers waiting for what they paid for. You'll find my shipping prices very reasonable.
