Dragons currently available for adoption can be found in my shop. I accept payments through PayPal, and credit/debit card.
I prioritise in-person events over online sales, so new dragons will typically debut in-person and any leftover stock will be listed online afterwards. You can see if I am selling in person at any upcoming local events here.

Whilst I have taken a number of commissions in the past, I have cut back on these in recent years. I may however still offer limited openings going forward, though please note there is no guarantee.

Change-of-mind returns are accepted for sculptures only. All earring sales are final as returns cannot be accepted due to hygiene reasons.
To return a sculpture, please contact me within 14 days of receiving your order as determined by your tracking number (for online orders) or date of receipt (if purchased in-person). Once approved, returns must be dispatched within 7 days of approval. You are responsible for all return delivery fees (postage fees will not be refunded or reimbursed), and a tracking number must be provided.
I do not accept returns of custom-made items, nor do I offer exchanges.

I'm more than happy to make a custom crochet plushie for you! Please note however that at this time I can only crochet using existing patterns designed by other crochet artists. If I'm unable to assist with your request, I will certainly try my best to point you in the direction of another crocheter who may be able to help.
If you have a pattern in mind that you'd like me to crochet, please contact me to discuss.

All of the findings (shepherd hooks, stud posts, etc) used in my earrings are made from 316L surgical stainless steel and 304 surgical stainless steel.
Whilst stainless steel is a great option for those with sensitive ears, it can contain up to 13% nickel, so please be mindful of this if you have any sensitivities.
I am considering keeping other options such as sterling silver on hand to swap out the findings on my earrings at time of purchase, however please note that this will incur additional costs. If this is an option you'd like me to explore further, please contact me below.

My standard and large size dragons each take anywhere between 4-8 hours to sculpt, or sometimes longer for more complicated designs. Each dragon has an additional curing (oven-bake) time of 1-2 hours, and sometimes dragons may be cured in multiple stages (1-2 hours per stage).
