Another year’s come and gone and here we are again…it’s time for Marbled March! The original marble themed sale of March, many features are the same as last year, and many are different.
——–What is Marbled March 2016?——-
Semi-custom orders are available throughout the month. Just choose one color, then I’ll choose another/other contrasting color(s) and come up with your marble. I like dynamic, tight marbling but am open to suggestion for less contrast, loose marbles, or cowprint “mottles”. Generally I opt for a light and dark, for example, and if you want eye-searingly bright tones instead I will be happy to work with that! Just let me know.
While last year featured my signature “Transitional Marbles,” this year I am focusing on Painterly Marbles! They tend to look like thick patches of opaque paints…much inspiration in impressionism. A positive is there’s not too much difference among all the firmnesses with Painterly’s. While Transitionals are still offered this year they have not received such a discount due to their complexity.
——-What else happens this year?——-
Since this marks the fifth year of DamnAverage, there will be some very old models appearing throughout the month. They will not be sticking around beyond my work with Marbled March orders…additionally the current Above Average Alien and Rattler will be discontinuing following this: they will be back later this year with much needed upgrades.
On shipping, I will be making trips when possible. Please keep in mind that custom orders do take a bit of time and I am quite prone to recasting based on my perfectionism. Also know that unwell life situations do continue and it may cause slight delays here and there. Please do not inquire about shipping times until after the timeframe on your receipt. And don’t order on the 31st and claim you’ve been waiting 3 months on May 1st. Not letting that fly this year.
——-Some things to keep in mind:——-
-Firmnesses are: super soft (0030), soft (0050), and medium (approx 8A)
-Super Soft has a tendency to blend during pouring, so I cannot guarantee that the marbles will be very tight or crisp. I will certainly try, but expect more of a soft/feathered edge on any super soft toys.
-Metallic and glow pigments affect the weight of the silicone, so may also cause issue with colors blending
-Marbled March is only for marbles, I am not offering other color options at this time.
-I will be uploading various pre-mades throughout the month when the new week sets go up.
-Marbled March listings will have a desaturated promo image at the front of them and say “Marbled March” in the listing title and in the corner of the image.
-For questions please ask me on Etsy. Oftentimes questions that only I can answer get posted on unrelated forums, and receive odd estimations or conjecture that don’t help anyone. I don’t usually bite, please do not be afraid to ask me directly.
-If an item is not in stock when you check, it is sold out and will not be getting relisted until I work through its queue. All items have 2-4 openings to start.
Everything is up now, so hop on over to check it out!
